Black And White Photography, Charly, Photography

I have been following Charly’s photoblog since I have joined the WordPress family so I am very pleased to introduce him to those of you that are not familiar with his wonderful work.

Nikon D600 and Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 lens – 1/320 @ f/11 – ISO 100

Hello, my name is Charly and I was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1956. Currently I live in El Masnou, near Barcelona, located by the Mediterranean Sea.

When I was twelve, somebody gave me a Kodak Brownie Fiesta’s camera, and immediately photography fascinated me. As soon as I made some money, I bought a 35mm SLR, Petri brand, and since then, I have gone through medium format, large format camera, black and white laboratory, and currently undergoing a hard adaptation process to digital photography. Now I’m using a Nikon D600.

For me photography is a passion, I need to take pictures constantly, but I cannot explain why. I like precision and seek the highest quality in my power. I print my pictures 40×60 cm, and I make my own photographic paper.

    Es interesante conocer sus inicios en la fotografía. Concuerdo con Usted que la fotografía, como todos los intereses del hombre, y por supuesto de la mujer, son intentos de obtener una perfección que se escapa como el agua entre los dedos. Pero no por ello, dejamos de perseguirla.

    Como Usted sabe, sigo sus fotografías con regularidad intentando aprender el arte de pintar con luz. Usted lo hace parecer tan fácil. Lo admiramos mucho. Para muestra un botón. 🙂

      Truly you and I share a passion. For me one of the most interesting things about photography is its resemblance to a martial art, perfection is never achieved, we must always learn and improve, we never know enough. Photography is wonderful!

        Philosophically you might be right, that photography resembles a martial art. But if I never achieve perfection I’m going to drive my wife crazy with my complaining!

    I’m a little late to this party, Charly, but welcome to Monochromia! Your photo is just superb – I can hear the surf crashing, feel the drops of water against my face. I want to stand on those rocks and continue to take it all in!

      As the price of large paper is very high’ve developed a way to plaster watercolor paper with good results. If you are interested I have no objection to doing public.
      Thank you very much for your comment and have a good day.
