Reflection and light Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Architecture is the encounter with the light of the form"

Calatrava has become one of the most renowned Spanish architects worldwide. This is because their concept of architecture combines the discipline of architecture, civil engineering, painting and escultura.Santiago Calatrava Valls was born in Benimamet (Valencia) on July 28, 1951.

Her work is inspired by the study of living things, their skeletons and their movements. Calatrava capture the organic forms in their steel and concrete structures, which in many cases of animal bones suggest. His bet on the white and the distributions that allow plenty of light passage is a reflection of the Mediterranean culture that wanted to carry throughout the world.

Me da la impresión que en este sitio en una mina
para los fotógrafos.... eso sí,
tu buscaste ese momento del día
(por ahí le llaman la hora azul)
esa combinación de entre las
dos luces hace que las composiciones
sean pura magia.

Un encuadre encantador.... felicidades.

Saludos amigo Luis.

Buenas noches Luis,

vaya! has vuelto a las fotos de los edificios futuristas... dais mucha envidia de tener una ciudad como esa... Me es muy difícil decir que foto es mejor de las que has puesto de esa zona, todas tiene una luz excelente. Gran trabajo!

Un abrazote y ánimos,

Gemma

Hi Luis,
very pretty blue hour composition. I wouldn't guess that it is Spain.
I would probably focus closer on the bottom left fragment because the shot is dominated by this building on the right. Still it looks very futuristic.

Hi Luis

That's a vertiginuous beauty that combines sensual and morbid elements, like this dying fish who beached on an unlikely shore and seems to expire. Your tight framed gives a good dynamic and the management of the light is remarkable. bravo.

Hola Luis!

Vaya fotaza!
De las nocturas esta es una de las mejores sin duda, la combiación de la apertura del diafragma y la velocidad es perfecta, la verdad este sitio es muy fotogénico jeje, cuando vaya lo que no se me tiene que olvidar es el trípode!
muy buen momento en la hora azul, buen trabajo!

un saludo,
Elena

hi Luis

I am really impressed with your architecture shots.

You know how best to expose and compose this POV. Of course I would like to see more reflection in the water and that maybe for another shot.

But I would say this is great work for f/5 and 2s setting. And I will add this pohto to my theme list.

tfs, bill

Wow, an amazing night capture. The color of the sky is outstanding and makes such a huge difference here since its blue tone allows us to see the outline of the skyline. Calatrava's curves create a nice contrast with the straight lines of the buildings in the back as well.

Great composition, just the right time of day...A+.

Hola Luis,
Beautiful nightscape! blue of the sky brings a strong visual impact to the image, which has an excellent composition with a perfect horizon. a brilliant impression of the lights is also so nice.

Hola Luigi
L'architecture futuriste, les prises des lumière a l'heure bleu + les reflets en fait une image réussie qui me plait beaucoup aussi
