Between Land, Sea and Air: A Photo Exhibit in Migjorn Gran
What’s the Show About?
The exhibition hall of Migjorn Gran is hosting “Between land, sea and air,” a collection of 24 colour photos taken by Rubén Díaz and Bià Pons. Each photographer contributed twelve images that celebrate the light, calm, and colours of Menorca.
Who Are the Photographers?
Rubén Díaz
Originally from elsewhere, Rubén has lived on the island for 25 years. He’s an active member of the Photoclub F‑Llum de Ferreries and loves chasing the first rays of sunrise.
Bià Pons
Bià is a true Menorcan, born and raised on the island. Like Rubén, he belongs to the same photo club and shares a passion for capturing the quiet moments of daybreak and twilight.
Why Dawn and Dusk?
The photographers focused on the early morning and late evening because those times offer a special soft light. This light creates a feeling of peace and lets the colours of the sea, sky, and land shine through in a way that midday sun can’t match.
How Did They Take the Pictures?
Long Exposure
By keeping the shutter open for longer, they turned moving water and clouds into silky, smooth stretches that emphasize stillness.
Panoramic Views
Wide‑angle shots sweep across the horizon, showing just how vast Menorca’s landscapes can be.
Drone Photography
Flying a camera above the coast and countryside gave them unique angles that reveal the island’s shape from above.
What Makes This Exhibit Special?
- The photos blend different techniques, giving viewers a varied visual experience.
- Both artists have deep roots in Menorca, so their work feels personal and authentic.
- The show is a community effort, organized with the town council, the Amics de l’Art de Migjorn Gran, and the local photo club.
Fun Extra: A Raffle!
Visitors can enter a raffle to win one of the exhibited photographs. The draw will happen this Sunday, so anyone who stops by has a chance to take home a piece of the show.
When Can You See It?
The exhibition is open this Saturday and Sunday from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Migjorn Gran exhibition hall.
Conclusion
“Between land, sea and air” offers a fresh look at Menorca’s natural beauty through the eyes of two passionate photographers. By focusing on the gentle light of dawn and dusk and using a mix of long exposure, panoramic, and drone shots, Rubén Díaz and Bià Pons invite visitors to feel the island’s calm and colour. If you’re looking for a relaxing weekend activity that combines art, nature, and a little bit of luck with the raffle, this exhibit is worth a visit.
