One Image | How and why it was done | Cómo y porqué se hizo | ESP / ENG

In this entry there will be more than one image.

For family and holiday reasons, for more than twenty years I have spent part of the winter in a pre-Pyrenean region in the province of Huesca, in the north of the Iberian Peninsula. During my stays I began to photograph the landscape surrounding the village where I was staying and soon found a motif that I found attractive. In this area poplar forests are planted for the timber industry, these forests in the winter season are leafless and look almost poetic. They are perfectly aligned in clumps of disparate growth, which gives the landscape a rare sense of dispersion.

Thus, little by little, winter after winter, a small project was born which, as I said, has lasted more than twenty years. I started shooting with black and white film, and then alternated the work with digital shots.

The image that opens the entry is from that first analogue stage. It was taken with a Hasselblad camera in panoramic format and scanned in two stages, one for each side of the photograph, and then stitched together with a panorama stitching software.

En esta entrada serán más de una imagen.

Por motivos familiares y vacacionales, durante más de veinte años he pasado parte del invierno en una comarca prepirenaica de la provincia de Huesca, en el norte de la Península Ibérica. Durante mis estancias empecé a fotografiar el paisaje que rodea el pueblo donde estaba y pronto encontré un motivo que me pareció atractivo. En esa zona se plantan bosques de chopos para la industria maderera, esos bosques en la temporada invernal carecen de hojas y tienen un aspecto cuasi poético. Están perfectamente alineados formando grupos de crecimiento dispar, lo que da al paisaje una rara sensación de dispersión.

Así, poco a poco, invierno tras invierno, nació un pequeño proyecto que como he dicho, se ha prolongado más de veinte años. Empecé a hacer las tomas con película en blanco y negro, para después ir alternando el trabajo con las tomas digitales.

La imagen que abre la entrada es de esa primera etapa analógica. Está realizada con una cámara Hasselblad de formato panorámico y escaneada en dos tiempos, uno para cada lado de la fotografía, para al final unirla con un programa de unir panorámicas.

This is a general shot of the area taken from a small mountain and gives a sense of what the poplar forests occupy.

To close the entry, I leave again an analogue image, which like the first one is made with the panoramic camera and scanned in two batches. Here I have made a sepia toning to accentuate the effect of the film.

Para cerrar la entrada, dejo de nuevo una imagen analógica, que como la primera está realizada con la cámara panorámica y escaneada en dos tandas. Aquí he realizado un virado al sepia para acentuar el efecto de la película.
