⠀ Stargazing selfie in Playa Misiones, Cabo
⠀ A couple months ago a buddy and me took an afternoon to go shoot some photos at this popular surfing spot close to home. Although I didn’t get the photo I was going for since it wasn’t the right time for it, I did take advantage of a lamp pointed at the sea from the restaurant just next to us to play around and try to shoot a self-portrait with a starry sky. ⠀ Moonlight exposed my side of the photo, but there weren’t many options for angles in order to get the lamp-lit sea so I had to go with frontal (moon)lighting, which I rarely find favorable for photos. Still it was fun to play around and try nailing the exposure, the focus, jumping onto the rock in time to stay still for the exposure, counting the right seconds before moving, and staying perfectly still during the whole exposure, all at the same time.

It took quite a few tries, but at last I got something decent (and a good workout!) and it was pretty fun.A couple months ago a buddy and me took an afternoon to go shoot some photos at this popular surfing spot close to home.

⠀ A view of Western Sierra Madre, Mexico
⠀ One more from the last flash visit to my hometown of Durango! This is one of the many awesome views you can see along the highway between Mazatlan and Mexico. ⠀ Several family members and friends had already told me about how cool the new highway between these two cities was. I remember bits of the old highway from when I was a child and I so enjoyed when we drove it. Trying this new one was even cooler than I expected.

With cliffs, tunnels, waterfalls, bridges, rain and fog, this is a beautiful and fun (and a bit challenging) highway to explore.One more from the last flash visit to my hometown of Durango! This is one of the many awesome views you can see along the highway between Mazatlan and Mexico.

⠀ Old Train Station in Durango, Mexico
⠀ Last weekend I had a very quick 2-day trip to my original hometown of Durango after about 3 years of not visiting. Unfortunately, due to that time constraint I wasn’t able to visit those beautiful landscapes and adventures the State offers and I’m so looking forward to explore (to get a peak of those places, check out my uncle @jorge_salum’s awesome photos), but I did get to stop at some places in the city to snap at least a couple of shots.
⠀
This city is almost half-a-Millenium old, and as such it has seen a lot of history. It’s actually the city in the North of Mexico with more registered historical buildings, which stand proud and beautiful as witnesses of the passing time. ⠀ This train station took about 6 years to build before it opened in 1925, and is so beautifully conserved (as most historical buildings here) it’s been casted as location for a couple of hollywood movies. ⠀
Its day job, though, is being the workplace for a government institution, but it can be visited to enjoy its construction and the cool mural inside, and for a good eat at the restaurant next to it.
