one, two, three... jump!!, a photo from Burgos, Castilla y Leon

Photographer's Note

This is one of the most beautiful places of Burgos. This is a "small" waterfall. Small? Yes, it's only 300 meters high and this place (not exactly the waterfall) is the beginning of the Nervión, a short river but one of the most important of the Nort of Spain.

As is usual in my pictures: tripod.
In Spanish language it is known as: el salto del Nervión and it's not too known in Spain. Why? Because Burgos is a small province and the most of the places here are unknown. Furthermore, if you can: ask to Spanish people where is Burgos and you will have a surprise!

I hope you like it.

Don't tell me most Spanish people don't know where Burgos is!
Olá Carlos, this is a fantastic jump taken from an impressive vertigo view. It seems that you were paradigling over this gorge while taking pictures. This might be the best choice but I'm glad to see the other alternatives.

Y la pregunta es obvia....saltaste?

Y si saltaste te rompiste la crisma o algo??? Espero que la diosa fortuna me sonria, que alguna vez estaría bien no???

La foto, bueno, te he visto de mejores....

feather (51130) 2009-02-24 2:47

OK! After you!! ;D My goodness what a POV you found!! I go dizzy just looking at it. I think you chose the best of the three, although I might have cropped the white sky at the top. The colours of the vegetation are splendid and the fall captured well.

Hello my dear Carlos

That is a breathtaking landscape.
Slow shutter speed(1/5) makes good sense indeed. Excellent photo.

Best regards and many thanks for sharing.

jonathan_hart (21276) 2009-02-24 4:47

amazing place, strange effect of the OE sky and the white frame, I don't see the limit
the POV is spectacular,
jc

zmey (7335) 2009-02-24 6:31

hi Carlos
the place sure is beautiful and you have chosen an excellent POV to show that.
but why leave that white stretch of overexposed sky in the frame? in my opinion, even scrolling the browser scrollbar down (so the white sky disappears) makes it more pleasing.

regards,
kristaps

se me hace una locacion perfecta para la practica del ala delta... depende de la direccion del viento, pero de todas maneras se me hace un lugar para deportes extremos.

Hi Carlos
You have captured a lot of detail in this shot and it has been well composed with the waterfall a little right of centre.
Phil

plimrn (21344) 2009-02-24 22:42

Hola Carlos,
I love the detail of the water and the dizzying POV; I was so entranced that I didn't even notice the sky until I read the critiques. Like Ric, I liked the alternatives, especially the wide-angle one. Were you para-gliding??
HLJ, Pat

i get dizzy looking at it carlos... you call this a small waterfall?... it looks like a killer to me!... crazy stuff...

cheers... korkut

cherryripe (21033) 2009-02-25 14:33

Hola Carlos
Muy bonita cascada y me gusta tu punto de vista. Me gusta tambien los colores de la hierba. Como el cielo es tan blanco como la marca, pienso que podias cuadrar la imagen mas cerca si cielo.
Un saludo
Nikki

Charo (51290) 2009-02-26 15:15

Hola Carlos,
Menuda perspectiva aunque para mi sobra ese trozo de cielo. El lugar es de vértigo e impresionante con ese gran chorro de agua.
Saludos,
Charo

Cretense (68709) 2009-02-27 4:18

Hola Carlos!

Salta tu primero, y yo te sigo, vale? Eso es lo que se dice, una foto y una vista que corta la respiracion! Tremenda foto, hermano, gran encuadre y composicion, muy bellos colores calidos! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

stego (24132) 2009-02-27 11:56

Hola Carlos,

Que perspectiva fantástica! Cuasi que da vértigo de mirarla! Y que cores y texturas mas hermosas!

Cualquiera de las 3 fotos está muy lograda y es muy difícil decir cual es la mejor. Yo vacilo entre esta y el WS2. La única cosa menos bien en el post principal es el cielo blanco, pero claro que eso no es culpa tuya.

Es realmente un lugar fabuloso, es increíble como es poco conocido. Pero en España hay *tanto* lugar digno de ser famoso... Estas bromeando con eso de los españoles no sepan donde es Burgos, no?
Saludos, José.

Hola Carlos,
Estuve el año pasado y no caía una gota de agua. Veo que has tenido mas suerte que yo. Magnífico lugar donde nace uno de los grandes ríos vizcainos.
Saludos,

MUY BUENA TOMA!
colorida y nítida. Lástima que no se aprecie las enormes dimensiones de esta cascada.

Hola!
una foto muy impresionante, con una prespectiva muy bien conseguida. El contraste de colores es magnífico.

hasta otra,

Hola Carlos,
truly spectacular view.
I see I have to visit other parts of Spain as well.
You have presented it very nicely, the composition is very pretty, the colors too. I like very much the texture of the rocks.

Pequeña dices!!! Es un buen salto amigo Coco. Una pena ese cielo tan blanco, pero el lugar impone... tomo nota.

limule (4176) 2009-09-11 12:43

hello, I like all the nuances that you were able to put in thispicture, especially with the leaves colours... Am I just surprised that you have this white sky .. maybe a filter would have been a good idea in thatregard. Very good framing and colours anyway.

mathieu_greg (354) 2009-10-19 5:23

vraiment tres impressionant, ça me donne le vertige!
Tres belles ces couleurs sepia.

adramad (73498) 2009-12-14 15:00
