Welcome to my site....
 
...if you live in the tropic you know how difficult is to deal with heat,
humidity, bugs
and the Wild Nature that try, relentlessy, to recover what once was his
territory.
Fungi, for sure, are the worst enemy that a Photographer has to face in this
environment, and for years, after that all my pictures, taken in years of
passionate activity like amateur in Europe, had been destroyed by these
voracious organisms, I  stopped shooting with my loved F2A, and due to the fact
that the Digital Cameras were still far from producing decent surrogates of the
Film , I  didn't  took a real camera in my hands until a couple of years ago,
when, finally, with the availability of the Nikon D300 , the sacred fire started
roaring again.
From the moment I could shoot with this camera, I returned to live the
experience of grabbing and save pieces of space and time, and the satisfaction
and joy I prove when I get one decent picture, is so pleasant that I want to
share it with anybody that feel this passion.
If do you like some of them, almost all of my pictures are available for 
personal or commercial  use, I would be happy to manage for to send a copy of
them to you, printed with the last materials and techniques availables on the
market.
 



Giulio Ranalli lives and works in Puerto Jimenez, the main town of the Osa
Peninsula, in the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.
 
Surrounded by the calm warm waters of the Golfo Dulce on one side and the rough
wild waves of the open ocean on the other,  more than one third of the land is
included into the Corcovado National Park, considered the most biologically
intense in the World, the area offers uniques opprtunities for the Amateur and
the Pro Photographer.
 
Nature at its best it's not the only characteristic of the Osa Peninsula that
make it unique, but the mix of people from anywhere in the world  and the result
of their activities, ranging form gold panning, to tourism business, fine
artists and rude loggers, Big Game Fishing fanatics and experienced
entomologist, international chef and craftsmen, all together, contribute to make
this area one of the most interesting for a Photographer.

In the last years the development of the digital cameras pushed a lot of pro
photographer to switch to this technology, more immediate and simple in the
management of image recording media, eliminating all the problems that film has
: storage time, temperature and humidity, limitation in the number of shots that
a camera can store without the need of change the media, etc., etc.

 

The good news for people that growth up with the dream of being able, when the
first prize of the lottery would had been won, to purchase and USE, one of that
marvellous machines like the Mamiya Medium Format, is that now, it is possible
to find on the market all these systems, dismissed by these Pro, that took care
of these cameras as they where their children, for a fraction of the original
cost of them, delivering years and years of perfect functioning and great
pictures.

 

So, I make true my dream of all one life, and now I own one complete system of
RZ67, the best film camera ever built, and I am starting shooting in this magic
format, in B&W, that I prefer for Film, but with Colour film too, developing the
B&W film by myself, giving me glimpses of my photographic childhood, and
obligating me to thin much more before press the shutter button, making of me a
better photographer, everyday.

 

So, some of the B&W picture I put here are coming from this camera, while some
other are took in monochrome mode with the D300 or the D70, but they are not the
same…much less fascination….!!!
