Capturando lo efímero | Luis Solano | TEDxPuraVida


[Music]

at the time I did not know how special and

only of what I was witnessing

exploring the fjords north of

Norway

I began to notice how the sunset

generates a rainbow that was reflected in

the lake

minutes later a second rainbow

appears on the scene and to my amazement

a third rainbow was generated the

landscape witnessed a show

unique nature did not know what

I had photographed however in the

night I arrived and published the photo to

moment they began to write certain

photographers friends of the area and I

they said

forget about the aurora borealis what

you just photographed is even more

unique and special turned out to be the third

rainbow they see in the middle is a

product of the reflection of the sun on the lake

that generated a rainbow reflected in

the water particles in the air a

totally fantastic condition that I

allows a different single photograph

and hard to repeat

that ‘s the beauty to make a photographer of

landscape nature follows us

surprising and although many times not

it’s as we expected

sometimes it’s even more magical

perfect of anything that

we could have gotten in our

mind

constantly asks me why

keep visiting the Arctic because it

they photograph ice because you like it

cold though, my passion for

the Artic

born in the tropical forests of the coast

delicious

The beauty of our country is

molding

to find my north is delivering

my eye and my mind to see the magic in each

corner and learn how to capture it and

this pushed me pushed me to look

distant remote landscapes hostile to

pursue new climates and experiences

of life and thanks to this one I look for

had the opportunity to live some

quite different experiences like

explore the fjord system more

big in the world in greenland over

a sailing ship built 100 ago

years and with no any connection to

outside world or camps has surrounded

grizzly bears in one of the most

away from the Canadian rockies

accessible only by helicopter to a

18-hour walk to get to know the lights

from the north, you love me aurora borealis

my first time in iceland

it was also the first time chasing

the northern lights

however nothing is planned at all

It was happening as we wanted to spend

many torments

the weather did not help was tense one of

the days during my stay was my

better chance to see them since the

climate was going to improve a little bit and the

geomagnetic storm forecast

that generated auroras was booming

so we get ready we started

accommodate all our things and we

we were driving an hour to the point

closest where we could have

better possibilities when we were going in

the journey we realized something

the geomagnetic storm is not only

booming

It turns out that the indicators had

gone up and now it was the storm

strongest geomagnetic in Iceland in

the last 50 years do not know what

we had the emotion of anxiety

of the tlc

it’s true that we wanted to die

to see them now however all the

path is not is not is not is not a

totally overwhelming silence

minutes later we saw the horizon more

hopeful totally clear with the

sunset colors

finally we have achieved the clear that

We were both waiting for minutes

the left side the bus explodes or

excitement to a light aurora north

they drew in the blue sky of

twilight

we got off the bus immediately

we started photographing we do not know towards

where to point the cameras we gave ourselves

mind that we were in the presence

of something really magnificent the aurora

strongest boreal in Iceland in the

last 50 years dancing to our

around

we could not with so much emotion

we continue to photograph a couple of hours and

just when we were going to go back to

Hotel already quite tired

We decided to stop or the last one is true

to give him another opportunity to take more

photos and for that we did it

It turned out to be the biggest show in

Aurora was about to start

multiple aurora crowns radiated

in all directions and they wrapped us

it was so exciting and inspiring so

rewarding that really left a

permanent average mark and a reminder

to continue chasing and fighting their

dreams

it does not matter what it was

but if you already experience the Arctic this

way because he kept visiting him

because the beauty it contains is

absolute and its extension is palpable and

terrifying

the arctic is one of the areas of

planet that highest risk is in

the polar layers and the glaciers take

plus

freeze and thousands of kilometers it

they lose forever

Greenland has worked like a

Earth cooler your white coat

reflects sunlight

however that layer has been destroyed from

alarming way in recent years and

this obstruction we already feel here

in our tropical lands of coast

Rich did not notice that the weather is no longer like

I used to do the rains are past

the summer has moved we no longer know

very well with my work I look for

capture the magic that encloses in these

polar areas express it transmit it

to look for those feelings that to me

personally makes me feel to bring

the arctic costa rica and show how not

only our beaches our viruses are

pollutes but that pollution

It reaches kilometers of kilometers

distance of any civilization the

world has so much beauty that it plans

dedicate my life to photographing for

achieve transmit that feeling

wonder and amazement

many times the introspective moments

that they change us that they do not brand they do not count

with a tangible memory as a

photography and it is for this reason that

for me this photo is so important to me

I take it one of the mentors in Possis

just when I decided the new

course for my life

Become a professional photographer of

landscape and explore the remote landscapes

distant countries think that they are going to

to demand something from me in order to obtain

that photograph

and so began my photography blog

I have had the privilege and the honor

pride of taking photographers

Costa Ricans to experience these

polar areas to experience those

landscapes that might not exist in

some years through a program

who seeks to train photographers

adventures to capture the world of

best possible way

I went out in search of new climates and

I discovered that nature has the

power to change us the measure

these landscapes have made me treat each

moment as ephemeral

the photographs share them and of

somehow save them forever

thank you very much
