Are the dreams of the fishes in high dynamic range?

Today I've been taking pictures of my city with my 8mm fisheye. It's a very interesting lens, but It is not for use everyday. I haven't used it for a lot of time, but today has been the day.

I think that to compose with it is very difficult: they are a lot of objects in the scene due to the wide angle of vision. I try to find the symmetry, because  I think that it's the best option in these cases.

A 8mm produces a great distortion and a unreal sensation. This sensation can be increased with the HDR post-processing.

These are my pictures of today:

I hope you've enjoyed.

Spring's Colours

Spring is here, and It is followed by a large range of colours. The green of the grass, the vivid colours of the flowers, the sky so blue...

Here, some pictures of my latest walk in "Los Cerros de Alcalá".

View all these pictures and more in Panoramio.

Addendum: a HDR version :)!

 

A walk through Alcalá

Last year I had a "mini-photographic project" every weekend. This year, my photographic activity has been reduced by the bad weather and the lack of time (and of ideas?).

In middle of this creative crisis, a good friend told to me about one of her projects. She was going to take pictures of her city to make cities' postal cards.

I decided then that I would be going to take pictures of my own city. Pictures about monuments and buildings, principally in the old and historical area of my city. Tourism in my own city.

From my point of view, "beauty" is in every place around us, in the "beautiful things", and in the "ugly things". Because of it, my pictures of this post are not all of them pictures of "beautiful and tourist places", there also are beautiful "ugly places".

That is my vision of the urban area of Alcalá de Henares.

I hope you enjoy.
