the magic fountain, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Also in Montjuïc, the called magic mountain in Barcelona, there is a fountain called magic fountain or colours fountain.

Light, water and music in the same show. The water dances with the music and a lot of people contemplates this unique show.

Really a nice place.

I hope you like it.

Hi Carlos,
Very nice night shot and great exposure. I like the effect from the slow shutter speed. It gives dynamism to the shot. Very well done!

Regards John

Hola carlos
Nuestra famosa fuente de colores. Ya me extraña a mi que no tuvieras alguna toma de ella.
Yo la conozco bien ya por lo menos he visitado este espectaculo unos 5 veces en corto espacio de tiempo. Y si me permites te diré que mejoraria la percepción si esperaras a otra combinación de chorros de agua. Hay uno en particular que me encanta, que combina colores amarillo, rojo y azul. Los chorros exteriores son pequeños y aparece uno interior mas elevado. Creo que es el que más gusta. Además combina los colores de mi equipo.
Saludos y gracias por la critica de mi ultima foto.
PD: Haber si me enseñas aquellos truquillos que le enseñas a oscar.

This looks to be a magical event. Does it happen every night?
This is one of those occasions when the inclusion of the watching people make a good composition. It would also be interesting to see a faster shutter speed to see if it is possible to avoid the burnout.

Hi Carlos,
An intriguing, surreal ambience pervades this photo. I like the greenish tinge to the foreground and the flaring appearance of the magic fountain. The people really appear mesmerized by it, and you have captured the mood. Very fine work, Carlos. Its a keeper.

Hey Carlos. What a first-rate shot this is. The tripod was mandatory here. It's nice that with the longer shutter speed that there's only a tiny bit of blur expect for the people who are walking. Very impressive Carlos!

Hola Carlos.
Luce una impresionante fuente por la cantidad de personas que la visita en las noches y lo que explica Sergio en su nota. Bien captada con buen tiempo de exposición.
Abrazos
