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.

[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!

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