The golden Plaza Photo

Photographer’s Note

Segovia is a city in Spain, the capital of the province of Segovia in Castile and Leon.
It is situated north of Madrid, just one hour driving.
The old city is spectacularly situated atop a long, narrow promontory.
It contains a wealth of monuments, including the cathedral, a fabulous ancient Roman aqueduct and the Alcázar, a fairytale castle that is perched at the tip of the promontory.
This is the Plaza Mayor, Segovia's main square.
It is the lively center of the old town, roughly half way between the aqueduct and the Alcazar, and has pavement cafes and a bandstand in the middle.
When lightened in the evenings, it looked like it was made of pure gold.

Hi Kris,
I prefer blue hour images normally, but have to admit here with all this gold black was a good alternative, the wet pavement adds even more golden highlights which is very nice and the person is well placed.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Kris.

Interesting night.
But I think you needed two changes: a wider view and also change the white balance... Well, now I've seen your exposure: also you needed a tripod and a longer exposure.

Regards.
