Yoga class in a Pines forest - Monomad Challenge.

in Black And White4 days ago

Today I want to share a set of photographs I took last weekend during a yoga class in a very special place, a pine forest.

The yoga class was a private event held by a yoga instructor from my city and he invited me as a photographer to document the event, I accepted with much excitement because I had wanted to go to this forest to take photos with my professional camera for a long time and this was the perfect occasion because a large group of people would go!

This was the first photo I took while we were waiting to start the hike to the forest:

Hoy les quiero compartir un set de fotografias que hice el fin de semana pasado durante una clase de yoga en un lugar muy especial, un bosque de pinos.

La clase de yoga fué un evento privado realizado por un instructor de yoga de mi ciudad y el me invitó a mi como fotografo para que documentara el evento, yo acepté con mucha emocion porque tenia muchisimo tiempo queriendo ir a este bosque a hcaer fotos con mi camara profesional y esta era la ocasion perfecta porque iria un grupo grande de personas!

Esta fue la primera foto que tomé mientras esperabamos para iniciar la caminata hasta el bosque:

To get to the forest we had to do a hike of approximately 45 minutes through the mountain, I took a couple of photos during the way:

Para llegar al bosque tuvimos que hacer una caminata de aproxiamdamente 45 minutos a traves de la montaña, tomé un par de fotos durante el camino:

Little by little everyone settled into their places and as the minutes passed they began to do the yoga class:

Poco a poco todos se fueron acomodando en sus sitios y al pasar los minutos empezaron a hacer la clase de yoga:

While the instructor gave the first words everyone listened attentively:

For me it was very fun because I had absolute creative freedom to take whatever photo I wanted to take!

Para mi fué muy divertido porque yo tenia absoluta libertad creativa para que hiciera la foto que quisiera hacer!!

At this point the class was already ending and a few minutes were dedicated to meditation and gratitude.

When the yoga class finished everyone started to eat and share for a while, for my part I took advantage of the time there to take even more photos, first I took a couple of photos with the instructor, he did a couple of yoga movements for the camera and these were my favorite photos:

Al terminar la clase de yoga todos se pusieron a comer y a compartir un rato, yo por mi parte aproveché el tiempo allí para hacer aun mas fotos, primero hice un par de fotos con el instructor, el hizo un par de movimientos de yoga para la camara y estas fueron mis fotos favoritas:

After spending a couple of hours in the forest and feeling recharged with natural energies we started the way back home, everyone with the best energies!

I took all the photos with my Canon R8 camera and two lenses, one 50mm f 1.8 and another 24 to 105mm f 4.

I hope you liked the photos as much as I did and thanks for always being present!

Despues de pasar un par de horas en el bosque y sentirnos recargados de energias naturales, iniciamos el camino de regreso a casa, todos con las mejores energias!

Todas las fotos las tomé con mi camara Canon R8 y dos lentes, uno 50mm 1.8/f y otro 24-105mm 4/f.
