Hello from Buenos Aires!

[luigi]

Hi All,

Good night fellow southern hemisphere life forms!
My name is Luis, I'm from Buenos Aires Argentina, I'm a College teacher and a crazy landscape photographer with a lot of interest in astronomy.

I like taking night landscape shots and I'm working hard to improve on that area. I wonder if I'm ok here as I'm not really an astrophotographer but a night landscaper.

Or something like that...

Anyway I'm happy to be here, the night world seems to circle around the northern hemisphere and I feel lonely sometimes.

Cheers!
Luis

Magellan Clouds are not Dust spots!!

G'Day Luis.

I'm sure you'll fit in here... a lot of us like landscapes!:)

Besides its only a small step from night landscapes to star trails...;)

Thanks for the warm welcome messages!

I do shoot star trails and sometimes I shoot DSOs for fun, I´m still not in love with my workflow in terms of processing but I´ll get better.

Hi Luis, welcome to the madhouse. I do photography as well, normally motorsports and been playing around with scenic panoramas recently.
I will be adding some form of Astrophotography to my viewing soon, they seem to fit well together.

What camera(s) and lenses are you using ?

Checkout Rallyshotz-nz.freehostia.com for some of my stuff.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Brent: I use a Canon 5DII with several lenses from a 15mm fisheye to a 400mm F5.6

willow: Things are fine in BA, the weather is crazy the traffic is even more crazy, lots of people everywhere and our lovely light pollution at night.
Not really a Tanguero myself but I do like Asado, soccer and dulce de leche. 3 out of 4 is enough to retain the passport :)

Hi Luis, I took a peek at your website, love your work, welcome to IIS. :D

[luigi]

Thanks Liz and Phil!
I really feel very happy here I found great people and a great community!

I'm the crazy dude that writes while you sleep :) If Eta goes Hypernova you will notice 890.000 posts from me the next time you read the forum.

From the other side of the world, or should I say just around the corner hugs!

PS: In a very strange event the skies just cleared over Buenos Aires, I think I'm going out tonight for some photos! World cup schmoints!

I hope you are not too depressed on Argentina being (badly) defeated by Germany.

I'm trying to rationalize that 4-0, it's not easy!

[sjastro]

It makes Australia's 4-0 loss to Germany acceptable.:)
I imagine Maradona's career as coach is over.
