Alien

This is the first of a set of shots from Valencia, the mini project is called 'Aliens'. Valencia had been high on my list of places to visit, and towards the end of 2015 I spent a few days there. I was not disappointed at all. Calatrava at his playful best.

 

Why Aliens though? I'd seen many pictures of these buildings and people likened them to fishes, and its often clear to see why. However I arrived late at night, and I wandered around without even taking my camera out with me - I just wanted to look and take in the surroundings. In the dark, there was something different to the shots I'd seen - they'd taken on a different appearance - they looked more like mechanised aliens just waiting silently - until the time was right. It was just a feeling but it stuck enough to become the title.

 

Recently most of my images have been high key - however there are some situations where this just doesn't work, all these shots are dark, taken either during the day with massively blue clear skies or at night

 

This was a 3 landscape shot vertical stitch
