Where Light Meets Shadow

Last Sunday I went straight into the mountains to test my new Brightin Star 11mm F2.8 II Fisheye — my first fisheye lens — and I chose one of my favourite waterfalls in San Sadurniño to do it.
Spring here feels unreal. Everything was intensely green, alive, breathing. Moss covering every rock, vegetation exploding in every direction, the river carrying that fresh seasonal energy that only this time of year has.
I placed myself almost at water level, standing in the middle of the river, barely 10cm above the surface. The flowing water builds texture in the foreground, guiding the eye through the rocks and toward the arched moss-covered branch — and finally to the waterfall itself.
What made the moment special was the light.
The upper part of the scene was already glowing with warm golden sunlight as the sun climbed above the forest. Down below, where I stood, the river remained in shadow — cooler, darker, quieter.
That balance between shadow and light.
Between depth and glow.
Between the intimate foreground and the illuminated cascade.
A familiar place — seen differently.
