Plaça de las Caramelles, Barcelona.
Festive Colour
A few festive nighttime images from around the centre of Barcelona.
Photographer
Carrer de la Portaferrissa, Barcelona. Shot on HP5+ rated at ISO 3200 and processed in DD-X 1+4.
Porting
Porter, La Boqueria, Barcelona. Possibly the only photograph that I have shot there that was not explicitly about the tourists…
Untitled
La Boqueria, Barcelona. I do not usually like to post photographs from behind people, but in this case I quite liked the correspondence between the different shapes in the image.
Winter Garden
A short set of images taken at the Jardí Botànic Històric on the Monjuïc, Barcelona. This particular garden was originally established in the 1930’s by recycling constructions from the 1929 World Fair, before the what is later creation of what is now the main botanic garden in 1999. The garden is quite small and shady (never a bad thing given the summer environment here), and is notable for its collection of medicinal plants.
Busted 3
La Boqueria, Barcelona. This is quite a good place to practise technique with (on) the tourists, who are usually quite flatted to be photographed.
Busted 2
La Boqueria, Barcelona.
Busted 1
The first of three images where people realised they were being shot (photographically). The M7 is a good street camera, but dressing up in a day-glow yellow t-shirt probably undoes any subtlety that the camera has.
Barcelona Light and Shadow
Four very loosely connected images on the theme of light and shadow in Barcelona. This is one of the best times of the year for early morning light, as you can catch the streets before the tourists escape from their hotels.
La Playa
La playa, Barceloneta.
Alley
Ciutat Vella, Barcelona.
Market
La Boqueria, Barcelona. Leica M7 with 50mm summilux, HP5+ rated at ISO 3200, and processed in DD-X 1+4.
Cataratas del Iguazú
Another couple of days off from work and a chance to revisit the Cataratas del Iguazú. These amazing waterfalls lie along the border between Brazil and Argentina and are surrounded by a beautiful tropical forest, which in the 19th century once covered almost the entirety of this region. The falls can be visited from both Argentina and Brazil – and both sides are just awesome. All images were shot with an Olympus E-M10II and 12-50mm kit zoom.
Barcelona Nights 3
Police car, tourists and illegal street trading, Moll de Bosch i Alsina, Barcelona.
Review: Capture One 10
Phase One has just announced the latest update to their flagship RAW processing software, Capture One 10, with a raft of new features and improvements – and a €99 price tag for the update. Is it worth upgrading? Capture One is a RAW developer that was originally designed primarily to support Phase One’s digital medium format backs, but which is today a much more capable package that supports numerous camera types and which now rivals heavyweight software such as Adobe’s Lightroom. I have been using Capture One since version 7, and […]
