A pictoreseque Town in Catalunya

A jump back in time in a pictoresque Gothic town on the Costa Brava, not far from Barcelona (1h 30 mins by car), with a beautiful medieval atmosphere.

A nice photo @Alecat . Do you like black & white photography? I would like to see it a bit lighter!

Hi @Alecat ,

It’s an amazing photo! Although I don’t like to edit my photos, there are moments when they look better with effect. Is photography your hobby?

I love to take photos in my free time and to learn new photography techniques. You might be interested in this one: 3 versteckte Orte in Bulgarien um wunderschöne Landschaftsfotos aufzunehmen.

Hello @AdamGT ,

blackandwhite photography is not my favourite photographic genre, but in this case I decide to exagerate the contrast between the light and dark zones to underline the architecture texture and to give a dramatic content to the photography :wink:

Yes, photography is my hobby. Do you live in Bulgary?

I have seen your post about

Amazing naturalistic and landscape photos! Which camera do you use?

Alex

Hi @Alecat ,

That’s great! Yeah, I am from Bulgaria. Thanks for the kind words! I am using Panasonic Lumix, it’s not a professional camera but for hobby it’s fine.

I had aPanasonic Lumix with a Carl Zeiss lens and it took brilliant photos on some of my adventure travels when a small yet capable camera was needed @PoliMC . It was truly a pocket rocket. Here is an example photo of Mt Everest taken with the Panasonic Lumix camera!

Hi @PoliMC ,

Actually I do not know very well the Lumix Panasonic. Looking at your photos it seems a very good camera.

I have a reflex K5 Pentax for semiprofessional use, then for everyday use I prefer the excellent camera (with wide angle) of my LG V30 mobile phone because I can take it with my everywhere.

In the future I have a plan to buy a mirrorless…

Hi @AdamGT ,

does the Lumix camera have interchangeble lens? Is it a mirrorless?

Your photo of the Everest is amazing!

Hi @Alecat ,

Thank you! Yeah, it’s good to experiment different types of photography techniques. Which model do you want to buy?

Hi @Alecat and thank you for your comment. My Lumix camera is an old model and I used it when trekking some 600 kms through the Himalaya so it need to be small, lightweight and compact, which it was, and had to take good photos, which it certainly did but mine didn’t have interchangeable lenses and was not a mirrorless camera. I still have it!
