Blue hour. Pedro, my 11 years old son, and I started to walk at 4:00 in the morning, solar time (6:00 am CET), when the dawn had not even broken. The day was the Solstice of Summer, June 21. We were hiking the hard west face of Bola del Mundo, one of the highest mountains of Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, in Madrid, at the very center of Spain. Suddenly this family of "Capra Hispanica" appeared in a cliff in front of us. This species of wild goat is nearly extinct. But twenty years ago a group of individuals were re-introduced in this National Park and under this protection they have flourished there. This group of young animals were very active, moving very rapidly in the walls of the cliff, playing with the precipice and from time to time even fighting among themselves. The light of the rising sun was still covered by the high mountain we had in the East and, hence, there was very low light. I was shooting with my Canon 70-300f L lens with only 400 ISO, because I was looking for dawn landscapes and did not expect any action. So when Pedro suddenly saw these wild goats and alert me of their presence (nothing like the eyes of a kid for discovering animals), I had no time neither the ability to change the ISO, and I had to shoot the fast moving animals at 300f with a low speed (1/20). Thus, most of the photos that I took of the moment are useless. But not this one. (File#: 2015-06-21 04.44.33_2_DxO).
