The Venetian Towers Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Venetian towers on the Placa Espanya are known by this name because they are depicting the bell-tower of the Venetian Cathedral. They were designed by Ramón Reventós in 1928 as an entrance gate to the International Exhibition of 1929, and while they are now the entrance of the Barcelona Trade Fair. They are 47 meters high and they frame the María Cristina Avenue.

PP:
Slightly rotaded and cropped.
Autolevels + autocolors + autocontrast.

I like the long exposure here. The sky blue is diferent and the towers are with a beautiful contrast with it.
Good work.

yeah, cool light and amazing colors due to the long exposure time, the fish-eye-effect is not bad either, gives
the two towers a kind of dali-esque look.
good job & best wishes, thor.

i guess next will be the magic mountian not far from there?

Witaj Wojciech Kilar.
Two photos in the same day and the same place... interesting.

Everyday I see this place (in fact I walk between the towers because I live in Montjuïc, the mountain beyond the tower.

Good idea but I am sure about the use of the fisheye.

Regards.

Hello Wojciech.
I watched a bell tower in Piazza San Marco of Venice. The tower of your picture is just like it.
Thank you for a very interesting note and beautiful picture.
