Flowers




Location: Animal Kingdom
Shutter Speed: 1/400
Aperture: f / 8.0
ISO: 200
Lens Used: 55mm-250mm 

This picture was more of a spur in the moment shot. Some of the areas of the park are joined by these small bridges. On them you see a nice body of water and you can capture and appreciate different flora and fauna. As I was going through one of these bridges this flower caught my eye and I wanted to see if I could capture it properly. I was testing the new telephoto lens and I was really happy with the outcome. 

Hope you guys like it!

Childhood Memories

Recently I have been watching some old cartoons from the 90's and it got me thinking to all those wonderful shows from back when I was a child. One of my favorite shows was Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life by Joe Murray. I loved the show for it's unique style and sense of humor. It was very different back in the day.

This is a quick, small sketch of the star of the show: Rocko!


Hope you guys like it!

Cheers!

Where dreams come true.

One of the things that I have gotten involved with is photography. It has become a muse of mine even if I am barely starting. I do find a lot of joy in the challenge of not only trying to capture something in a different point of view, but to also try and recreate what I see. From time to time, I will share some of my images.

Please bare with me as I am still a novice!


Location: Walt Disney World: Magic Kingdom.
Shutter Speed: 1/10
Aperture: f / 4.56
ISO: 400
Lens used: 18mm-55mm

This was one of the first shots I got with my DSLR. I am still trying to figure out composition and framing but this was a really fun shot to do. The biggest challenge was able to capture it at nighttime without using a tripod. That wasn't very easy! Being one of my first shots, I guess it holds a sentimental place on my list.so I decided to share. Hope you guys like it!!

Let the fun begin.

Greetings and welcome to my brand new blog; The Art of Ricardo Rosas!!

After much thought I have decided to embrace the wonderful world of Social Media! With the creation of this blog not only do I hope to build an online portfolio but also I would love to try and reach and interact with as many people as possible.

I have a lot of interests and I hope to share many things in here. You guys should expect art posts both from my illustrations as well as my new muse; photography. (All the images used for the layouts were taken by me. No more Getty Images!)

I might also write about things that catches my eye at the time of posting (Bioshock Infinite!!).

I really hope to be able to reach people and share my art. Join me in this journey as I try to become a professional and join the industry!

Many thanks for visiting this blog!

Cheers!
