Luna llena en el cielo bogotano
Es triste que esta grabación no capture el gran espectáculo del evento.
Esto fue grabado en la noche de diciembre 31 de 2009. Una gran luna llena levantándose sobre Bogotá. Hay una montaña cerca de mi casa, y la luna se levantó exactamente detrás de una de las torres de energía. La vista era espectacular.
La toma de este video de 1 minuto abarca 31 minutos de tiempo real que fueron acelerados y condensados en un minuto.
Fue maravilloso ver cómo las nubes se separaron en el momento justo en que salía la luna, y cómo regresaron después de que la luna salió del cuadro.
Pero usar una Handycam es limitante y frustrante. La resolución es terriblemente mala, los colores se pierden con la baja iluminación, y al final del video pueden ver cómo la luna se agranda y se achica. No era yo jugando con el el zoom: era el autofoco de la cámara o algo así que no preví :(
También hay varios temblores en la imagen, aunque el tripode estaba ubicado firmemente.
Esta toma estaba pensada originalmente como una compañía a este otro vídeo: http://rubenandres77.blogspot.com/2009/05/sol-y-luna-en-el-cielo-bogotano-sun-and.html pero tuve que esperar casi un año por las condiciones adecuadas (sin nubes ni lluvia), y tampoco pude pensar en nada remotamente poético como texto acompañante.

"No tengo espíritu de divo como para pretender que la gente me siga, aunque sean mis amigos. Y tampoco tengo espíritu de groupie como para ponerme a seguir a alguien, aunque sean mis amigos."
Eso respondí a una amiga cuando me preguntó porqué yo no tenía twitter.

Not because it's easy, but because it's difficult
Sometimes I'm asked why I make so different things (paper crafts, prismacolor, digital colour, watercolours, linearts etc.) and do not concentrate on one in particular and excel in that.
The answer is: I just can't. ^^¡ I love to do all that when time permits. Sometimes I'm in the mood to make watercolours or prismacolors, and some other days I prefer to think on gouache or have something digitally coloured. Papercrafts are also always in the queue.
I love to do all that and to experiment the different mediums not because it's easy, but because it's difficult for me. I was never trained or raised in an artistic environment, and thus using pens, brushes and all that is a completely unknown world for me.
But however difficult those things are for me, I really love to taste them all because I learn a lot in every piece, every process teaches me something new, and because it always tests my own skills. Even if I'm not an "artist" or master a given technique (and my deviations will always lack something in a way), at the end all those pieces relax me and offer me a time and a place far from the stress of normal life.
The last couple of days I embarked on another unusual project: a moogle plushie. It is finished and waiting for her Lulu to take him home. You can see it here: http://rubenandres77.deviantart.com/art/Moogle-plushie-141342260
I think that's all for today. Take care!
