Fotos del jueves 22 de diciembre de 2011, en el cual estudiantes planeaban marchar desde Plaza Italia hacia Los Heroes por la Alameda. Intento que fue inmediatamente disuelto por fuerzas especiales de Carabineros, cercando plaza Italia y el frontis del Teatro de la Universidad de Chile.
Finalizada esta concurrencia, grupos aislados se trasladaron por el Parque Bustamante hacia el sur, entre Santa ISabel e Irarrázabal, enfrentándose a ratos con Carabineros.
Finalmente no se pudo culminar con toda la fuerza necesaria este año de marchas y movilizaciones estudiantiles.

Photos from past Thursday, December 22, 2011, in which students planned to march from Plaza Italia to “Los Heroes” of the Alameda.
This attempt was immediately dissolved by special police forces, encircling Plaza Italia and the front of the Universidad de Chile theater.
Once this reunion was disolved, isolated groups went of to “Parque Bustamante” moving south, between Santa Isabel and Irarrázabal, clashing at times with the police.
At the end it wasn’t possible to finish this year with the full strenght neccesary to keep the students demands and this citizenship movement on the mind of the people, adding expectation to the way this still-going movement will develop from here to the future.

The three photos in this post are a statement. A statement, say, a principle more than anything. A would-be reminder of the constant path of mistakes that one take before one can acomplish something remotely good.
What does a photo of two garbage man in their daily routine has to do with mistakes and self-deprecation?
Well, because you can barely see them. Because there’s no detail of the situation, no context, no faces, no nothing. Because in the rush of taking this pictures I forgot about the light and forgot how to use my freaking camera.
8pm. 100 ISO, f/14 @ 1/60 sec.
And the moment is gone. Underexposed forever. Sure, you can go to Lightroom and brighten the hell out of your photos (like in this case) but the quality will suck. Period.
Maybe because of the time I’m typing this, I’m being way too negative, but regardless of the tone, the lesson stands:
Know your gear, be ready and don’t forget about the light!
Specially if you are just strolling through the city. There’s always situations happening, people doing interesting stuff in front of you and moments you don’t wanna miss. This is particulary true the moment you pull out a DSLR camera. Being kinda big and menacing, people inmediatly asume you’re a pro of some sort and will pose for you.
I salvaged this photos in this gross manner jsut because I liked the attitude of this two workers and I didn’t want this moments to be lost.
Damn. They could’ve been great photos.

Es inevitable la auto-crítica en cualquier foto que saco.
En este caso, a pesar de que había iluminación profesional con luces de diferente tamaño, color, y posición, el tema pasaba más por lograr una buena ubicación que permitiera sacar todo el provecho de la situación.
Las luces aportaban mucho dramatismo a esta puesta en escena, Leer más…
