Barcelona Magic Fountain of Montjuïc and Barcelona night life.

 

Lost in Barcelona´s night life.


Barcelona Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

During the summertime on selected evenings, when the fountain is activated, it attracts hundreds of visitors who watch the spectacular display of light, water and music.
The Font Màgica or Magic fountain is a large fountain built in 1929. When the fountain is active, it constantly changes color and shape.

The fountain was part of a project built for the 1929 Universal Exhibition. The exhibition took place on Montjuïc ( it takes a nice 20 minutes long stroll from the city center ), a hill just southwest of Barcelona's city center.

Due to the excellent quality of D700 full frame even with  3200 of ISO the images look amazing.

A view from the Mallorca pier


A story behind: All the three sunrises on the Mallorca (Spain) Eastern coast  were spectacular. The one above was taken during a drizzle. Protecting your camera and filters while taking a photo on the not-so stable wooden pier was a real challenge.

The picture was taken early in the morning and half an hour before sunrise. These unique moments of calm and solitude can be rewarding.


Location:
Alcudia, Mallorca, Spain.


Gear: Nikon D700, tripod. ND Reverse filter.

Aperture: f/11

Exposure bias: -0,3 EV


Focal Length: 16 mm

50
