no me gusta demasiado la arquitectura de Calatrava, por diferentes razones... pero he de reconocer que tu le sacas un gran partido.
Una foto estupenda!

Enhorabuena!

Vicente Reig says:

Mira que me gustan poco las fotos de la la arquitectura de Calatrava, más que nada por que hay demasiadas, ya que es probable que tenga el criterio arquitectónico en el interior del recto, pero la foto es realmente impactante. :-)

Toni Blay says:

@Neil Zone: Actually looks like an imperial Star Destroyer! :O
I wonder if Calatrava may have to pay some copyright fee to Lucas...

@salvita_42: Gracias! Tus panorámicas de la CAC son extraordinarias ;D

@vitxo: Cuidadin donde pones el criterio arquitectónico, q a veces puede producir infecciones extrañas... xD. Estoy de acuerdo en que hay demasiadas fotos de la CAC rondando por ahí, pero no es menos cierto que es digna de ser fotografiada, ya no tanto en visiones generales que son más comunes, sino aprovechándo los miles de ángulos extraordinarios que ofrece.

Esta es la primera imágen de una pequeña serie de exposiciones nocturnas que tomé el viernes tarde-noche (lo que inicié en Paris necesitaba continuidad...), espero q os gusten tanto como esta. Salu2! ;D.

Truly Extraordinary, from the small thumb view, I thought it was an approaching ship. Wow, it seems to resemble a worriers helmet.
And gardens on the upper deck? Your eye could not have captured this view any more perfect, and the lighted walkways in the distance. A 10.
I see exif showing 10mm focal length. Makes me wonder what lens this is. My 30D needs major upgrade.
Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )

Toni Blay says:

Thanks Phil!.
The lens used is a EF-S 10-22mm, a must have for wide angles if you own a 30D. I'd purchased this beauty 7 months ago, and haven't regreted since then. ;D

Nacho.85 says:

Toni, tu foto me tiene enamorado, jeje. Me encanta la fotografía pero la practico desde la más profunda ignorancia, teniendo en cuenta conceptos básicos. Sin embargo, muchas veces tiro de HDR y cosas por el estilo para mejorar la calidad. SUpongo que con una simple camara digital no se puede pedir mucho, por eso acabaré comprandome algo bueno, pero antes estudiaré algo de fotografía.
Y que mejor lugar que Valencia para mejorar la práctica. En fin, lo dicho, tu foto es preciosa. A ver si le puedes echar un vistazo a mis fotografías y así me das algun tipo de consejo.
Un 10..!!
