to Barcelona, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Yes, this picture is dedicated to Barcelona.

This is a litte tribute.

I guess you know this place: this is the magical fountain (in the Carles Buigues Square).

Weekends you can enjoy a wonderful show where the water dances with the music and the light is unreal but also very very impressive.

As you can see, everytime thousand of people come here to see it.
It is placed in Montjuпc, one of the mountains of the city and at the background you can see another of the mountains: the Tibidabo.

I hope you like it.

Hola Carlos,
maco homenatge a Barcelona, d'un dels llocs que em consta et fascinen, i que йs molt fotogиnic si la foto es fa bй, com йs el cas.
La gent que omple el lloc i el seu moviment donen un agradable dinamisme a la imatge.
I quи puc dir dels colors de l'aigua a la Font Mаgica? Senzillament fantаstics.
Bona feina.
Una abraзada,
Josep

Hola Carlos
Very nice, busy and lively and with wonderful contrasts of the fountain colored water against the blue hour sky, superb !
Have a nice day JY

It must be wonderful to sit here on a warm evening and enjoy the water show. The pink waters make an unusual contrast with the blue hour sky. The moving people are a bit disturbing, but there's nothing to be done about that and still have the lovely motion blur in the water.

Hi Carlos,Clever of you to have seen the potential of this shot using the slow speed approach.The overall colours blend so well together, the deep blue is such a perfect backdrop.No wonder the people are so fascinated by this colourful scene.Thanks Tom.

Bonsoir Carlos
tu as fait ressortir une belle ambiance de ces jets d'eau colorйs. J'aime bien la longue pose et l'effet que cela donne sur les jets d'eau. Belle luminositй.

Hola Carlos.
Muy buena dedicatoria de esta foto a Barcelona, no hay dudas que es un punto de reuniуn los fines de semanas de gran cantidad de personas para disfrutar el colorido de la fuente y pasar un buen rato de diversiуn. La foto esta muy bien captada desde un alto POV y a pesar de tomarla con un trнpode hay personas fuera de foco por la baja exposiciуn que en mi opiniуn no es malo ya que le da acciуn a tu magnifica composiciуn.
Un fuerte abrazo.

Absolutament brillant la combinaciу de colors!

giorgimer (35017) 2009-08-21 13:23

Hi Carlos,

we knew this spectacle but missed it, what a pity! You managed exposure very well, the limited ghosting means that people stay still to see it.

I have been so many times to Barcelona, yet I managed to miss this show every time... I am going again in two weeks, I hope I will be able to see it this time!
it's good someone moved while you were shooting, this makes the photo livelier and has us see also other details.

Hola Carlos
No tenias que ir muy lejos para tomar esta bonita foto. Claro que me gustan los colores pero tambien me gusta el ambiente con una mezcla de gente normal y fantasmas.
Que tal la vuelta de tu vecino ?
Un saludo
Nikki

Bona nit Carlos,
Magnнfica la fotografia. Colors, ambient, la Font Mаgica, llum, moviment. Vaja, millor que les postals .... M'agrada molt. I veure al fons el Tibidabo ..... йs la 'cirereta'.
Tot just avui t'he 'descobert' ......
Salut !

Ola Carlos ,
Bonito ponto de visгo sobre esta fonte tem umas belas cores deve ser muito bonito pela quantidade de pessoas que estгo nesta praзa , gostei muito do azul do cйu , parabйns!!
Um abraзo Gonзalo

Las cabezas mutiladas del primer plano inferior son irrelevantes ya que la atenciуn se dispara hacia el espectбculo cromбtico de la fuente y el bello azul del anochecer con las luces y la colina del fondo ...Me encanta la atmуsfera veraniega y los puntos humanos esparcidos por la plaza

Buen viaje a Budapest Carlos

Don Carlos!!

Esta se me habнa pasado!!

Precio color y composiciуn, has sabido captar bien el ambiente, con todo el mundo tranquilo y mirando las fuentes como extasiado, como si fuese la primera vez!!

Lo del sujeto en movimiento es un puntazo!! A veces nos molesta este tipo de resultado, pero en este caso particular queda muy bien ya que acentъa el sentido de la foto...

Saludos

Manu

Charo (51290) 2009-10-01 13:33

Hola Carlos,
Algъn dнa la verй...es curioso como atrae a tanta gente para contemplarla, tengo que enterarme que dнas al aсo la abren para ver si me coincide con alguna visita a Barcelona.
Me gusta mucho el contraste de color que proporciona la iluminaciуn de la fuente con ese cielo en su hora azul.
Muy bonita y excelente perspectiva, me encanta ese "fantasma" triplicado.
Un abrazo,
Charo

macjake (98262) 2009-10-24 12:14
