Streets of Barcelona #8 Photo

Photographer’s Note

The magic fountain of Montjuïc's first performance was on May 19, 1929 during the Great Universal Exhibition. The designer Carles Buigas submitted his plans one year before the exhibition and many thought that the project was too ambitious to be created, let alone completed on time.

Over 3000 workers were commissioned to work on the project and less than 1 year later the magic fountain was born.

The magic fountain is a spectacular display of colour, light, motion, music and water acrobatics - if you mix all these elements together in just the right combinations, you end up with pure magic! The magic fountain is a "must see" when you come to Barcelona

Hi Alex,
Well taken, excellent light and effect with a such light capture, good sharpness too.

It can't have been easy but you have taken this with perfect exposure. It must have been a beautiful sight.

Amazing colors, light and quality!

Hi Sasha, you really nailed the exposure here, and I like the symmetrical crop and how the illuminated fountains break the darkness dramatically. I have been there as well but don't have such a great picture of the place.

Cheers and Happy New Year
Sasha
