Night Photography nominee

I have a deep love for my country, home to many beautiful things.

For Galicians no more special than our land. It is no wonder, our home is beautiful, surrounded by a wild and violent sea, fishermen risk their lives daily either on boats or collecting barnacles. Also we have a field full of resources, livestock, crops and some amazing forests.

Its ancient Celtic tradition, we are children of Breogán, the land of superstitions and legends, seasoned by the presence of the Romans, who believed the end of the known world, and liturgies of the church.

Galician night is also beautiful, if you dare to challenge the many dangers of legend that lurk, even despite its inhospitable climate, could well be known as the birthplace of the clouds, and rural towns and its light, it is difficult to find the time to see the universe, but when you get it is simply spectacular.

Whether over the coast, ancient Celtic populations, Roman altars or small hermitages; Milky Way always shines indicating the pilgrimage route, via stellae, which leads us to the Finisterrae (the end of the world), and from there to Santiago de Compostela.

Passionate about photography and astronomy since I can remember. By twist of life it was not until 2010, when my wife gave me my first digital reflex, when I really started to spend time with those passions. With 36 years, but better late than never. Perhaps the birth of my son, that year, was that made me enjoy my hobby when there was time, at night. I soon discovered that night photography was on the one hand a great challenge (capture light when barely there) and extremely technical, and I can´t deny it, I´m passionate about technology. During these humble beginnings had a clear lack both artistic, and post processing knowledge . By self-learning and hard work, I was slowly trying to solve. Now with more resources at my disposal, and with more knowledge of this world, I don't doubt to attend masterclass, workshops or courses of other photographers whose work I admire, envy or just cause me inquietude. It is not until last year when I finally get a clear and quality workflow that gives me the expected results in my style of photography. And when I get my own identity. That is when there is a radical change
