Some more attractive thatched cottages in this Dorset coastal village. On a TV programme recently, we were told that Dorset has more thatch than any other county in England.
"I've always felt like an artistic person. I can't draw or paint or sculpt. I never really had technical skills, but I've always felt like I appreciate really beautiful things, and part of taking a good photograph is being able to recognize beauty." Brandon Stanton.
I did not want to leave Manila without getting a nice picture of some of its monuments located in Intramuros, the historic and walled heart of a city that for over three centuries was the center of Spain's main colony in Southeast Asia. Soon the city founded by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, would see pass through it the Philippine Revolution and the American control of the archipelago, but lamentably after the devastation produced by the occupation of the Japanese army and the American bombings against them during World War II, little remains original between the walls of what once was called "Pearl of the East" or "Paris of Asia". However, some buildings have been restored and the history of Manila can still be relived if you visit among others, Fort Santiago, Casa Manila or Saint Augustine Church (which was the only one that miraculously survived after the destruction of the war).
Among the restored monuments, I chose to photograph the cathedral, whose reconstruction after the war was the seventh, since throughout history it had suffered earthquakes, fires and typhoons that destroyed it to a greater or lesser extent. It is a Neo-romanesque temple with very interesting details and a fine architecture, with a very bright interior thanks to its stained glass windows and white walls. Photographing the cathedral from the outside is a challenge, since the square in front of it is a pleasant place where people usually sit at nightfall. For this reason I chose to use beautiful red flowers in the foreground to cover the people, a decision that has made me spend several hours of work in the edition to mix the images with different focus. This technique is known as Focus Stacking, and allows more risky compositions, with the camera located a few centimeters from the elements that are placed in the foreground, but which creates really unique results and permits to show a great level of detail throughout the photograph.

"Siempre he sentido que era una persona artística. No puedo dibujar, pintar ni esculpir. Nunca tuve habilidades técnicas, pero siempre he sentido que aprecio las cosas realmente bellas, y una parte de tomar una buena fotografía es ser capaz de reconocer la belleza". Brandon Stanton.
No quería dejar Manila sin conseguir una bonita imagen de algunos de sus monumentos localizados en Intramuros, el corazón histórico y amurallado de una ciudad que durante algo más de tres siglos fue el centro de la principal colonia de España en el Sudeste Asiático. Luego la ciudad fundada por Miguel López de Legazpi, vería pasar por ella la Revolución Filipina y el control americano del archipiélago, pero lamentablemente tras la devastación producida por la ocupación de los japoneses y los bombardeos americanos contra ellos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, poco queda original entre las murallas de la que fue llamada "Perla de Oriente" o "París de Asia". Sin embargo, algunos edificios han sido restaurados y la historia de Manila aún puede revivirse si se visitan entre otros, Fort Santiago, Casa Manila o la Iglesia de San Agustín (que fue la única que se libró milagrosamente de la destrucción durante la guerra).
De entre los monumentos restaurados, me decanté por fotografiar la catedral, cuya reconstrucción tras la guerra fue la séptima, ya que a lo largo de la historia había sufrido terremotos, incendios y tifones que la destruyeron en mayor o menor medida. Se trata de un templo neorománico con detalles muy interesantes y de fina arquitectura, con un interior muy luminoso gracias a sus vidrieras y blancas paredes. Fotografiar la catedral desde el exterior es un reto, ya que la plaza que se encuentra frente a ella es un lugar agradable en el que la gente suele sentarse al caer la noche. Por este motivo opté por utilizar unas bonitas flores rojas en primer plano para cubrir al gentío, una decisión que me ha supuesto varias horas de trabajo en la edición para mezclar las imágenes con diferente enfoque. Esta técnica se conoce como Focus Stacking, y da pie a composiciones más arriesgadas, con la cámara a escasos centímetros de los elementos que se sitúan en primer plano, pero que da unos resultados realmente únicos y permite mostrar un gran nivel de detalle en toda la fotografía.
A 102-story skyscraper located on Fifth Avenue in Midtown, Manhattan, New York City. Currently it's the fifth-tallest skyscraper in the United States.
The iconic Flatiron Building at the intersection of East 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway.
The Flatiron Building / Fuller Building was designed by Daniel Burnham as a steel-framed Renaissance palazzo skyscraper with Beaux-Arts styling. The building was completed in 1902. The building at 175 Fifth Avenue, sits on a triangular lot, formed by intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway (East 23rd Street) and East 22nd Street.
The distinctive former Ridpath furniture building built in the Tudor Revival style stands empty on Yonge Street. I am not sure of the status of the plans to develop a hotel and condo tower on the site that would see the facade retained, after a proposal was rejected by the city. The building was completed in 1928 and designed by architect Mackenzie Waters. It was designated as heritage in 1974.
Happy Make Your Bench Anywhere Monday ... :)
When I wanted to capture this neat building there in Taos, New Mexico, I made sure to included the two women there looking up at something that caught their attention.
Liked how they were putting the wall there in use as their bench ;)
