Beach time in Chelem!

This weekend the family made it out to visit my great aunt Alice (from British Columbia), her daughter, husband and grandson for a big birthday celebration. We all had a great time, lots of amazing food and a drink or two! As always, I brought my camera gear and capitalized on the opportunity to take a bunch of photos. As you can see bellow I also brought my aerial camera along and took some nice shots of the coast along the Yucatecan seaside in Chelem. We also made a little trip to the mangroves on the laguna just opposite Progreso. This provided for the opportunity to photograph the wildlife, mangrove themselves and some neat clear watter springs which are really quite nice for swimming. Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos!

Eye in the Sky Mexico

Last week I finally got my hands on my Phantom UAV! I have for many years thought about how cool it would be to do areal photography and its only quite recently that this kind of technology has really been available outside of the military. I have already made several flights and here are a few examples of the images I have captured so far here in Merida. I am also offering up my services to take photographs/HD video of  real-estate, industrial plants, farms or what ever really. If you or anyone you know is interested in this kind of thing, shoot me an email at carlos.rosado@gmail.com . I have also set up a facebook page, so check it out! https://www.facebook.com/eyeintheskymexico

First birding outing of 2014

Back in January my good friend Cherie Pitillo invited me to join a group of photographers from across the peninsula for a morning of birding in Merida´s wonderful parks. It was really nice to get out there and shot some nice photos though I was using a camera I was not terribly familiar with and did not get quite as many nice shots as I would have hoped. Still, it was a really good time and I look forward to do some more wildlife photography soon. Thanks Cherie!

Ok, this is getting silly

It would be quite an understatement to say that things have been hectic around here. With the move, an infant and work there has not been to much time for photography (other than of the baby of-course). That being said I have been working on a couple cool projects which I am close to being ready to put out there... so that's exciting. Starting next week I will get back to posting regularly so I hope you all stick around.

 

Oh, also I took this shot yesterday at Playa del Carmen during a business trip, quite happy with it =)

 

Bye Bye November

Well, November has come and gone and although it certainly is not warm out, it certainly is not that cold here in southern Norway. So far the winter has been quite mild, though of course it is just kicking off. Fortunately, I wont have to endure its full force given that next week Jeanette, little Emma and I will be leaving for Mexico. We will most likely be staying for the duration of the winter and are looking forward to a tropical Christmas with family in the sunny Yucatan. As I am aware I wont have that many more opportunities to go out and shoot before I leave I decided to head out today to the woods. Here is the result.

Longholm!

A couple of moths ago I made my way down to southern Denmark with my mom (who was visiting up here in Scandinavia) to attend my cousin Shauna's wedding. The ceremony was held in an absolutely gorgeous church complete with viking runes and medieval interiors. The reception was held at Lungolm caste, which was also the place most of the guests (myself included stayed). As you can tell by the photos this place was absolutely insane, just absolutely beautiful. It was so much fun to be there for the wedding and visit with my Canadian family! All and all it was an extremely successful trip!

Netherlands!

I know I am starting to sound like a broken record... but yeah, I have not posted in a while since things have been, well, insane. Between Emma, working and trying to keep the house halfway decent I am afraid there has not been all that much time for blogging. Anyway, about a month ago I made my way to Holland for a job interview. This of course gave me some time to run around Maastricht and Amsterdam which was lovely. I don't really believe in genetic memory, but there is something about Holland that just clicks with me. Every time I arrive I feel instantly at home, its just awesome. That´s all for now, hope you enjoy the photos.
