Montpelier, Vermont - the smallest capital city in the USA with an estimated population of just over 7,000. Shot with the Olympus E-5.
I've taken a few pics of the US Capital but never this side. Here it is from our trip to DC back in April. A pano taken with the Nikon 20mm and stitched in Photoshop. May it never experience another day like it did on January 6th 2021 and all those involved with the attempted overthrow be held responsible.
Built in 1938 as a Marathon Gas Station, this delightful structure is now the home of the Springfield Bicycle Doctor. In the years between being a gas station and bicycle shop, the building has been occupied as a laundry and dry cleaners, real estate office and, more recently, a barber shop. The current owners, Robert and Cynde LaBonte, purchased the property in early 2012, and have since remodeled the original building for their bicycle sales and repair shop, and have added a small storage building.
a short fly to Dresden - the saxonian capital. Enjoy the view from the Frauenkirche and think about Canaletto. Why he love Dresden?
Lisbon is Portugal's largest city and capital. The 25th April Bridge spans the Tagus river.
In October of 2016 my wife and I along with good friends visited parts of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France as part of a western Mediterranean cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette.
Esta es la capital de la isla francesa de Córcega. Aquí se puede apreciar La Ciudadela, que está situada en un sitio estratégico para proteger a la ciudad de Ajaccio de los posibles ataques marítimos. El fuerte fue construido en 1492, y luego hubo ampliaciones a partir de mediados del siglo XVI. Se destruyen numerosos edificios, entre ellos la iglesia Sainte-Croix, primera catedral de la ciudad. La ciudadela cuenta con un “castello”, un torreón y seis bastiones. No es posible visitarla, puesto que pertenece al ejército.
Very early morning hoot in the capital and a nice chance to capture an iconic landmark without the crowds.
I thought this was a different perspective of the capital building. I was waiting for the green light to cross to the other side of a busy street. This is looking down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Took another shot of the Capital Wheel at sunset during the blue hour. I was trying to capture the vibrant colors of the sky, the lights of the Ferris wheel, and the reflection of the water all in one shot. Did some work in Lightroom to bring out the colors.
Quito, la capital de Ecuador, se ubica en la altura de las laderas de los Andes a 2,850 m. Fue construida sobre los cimientos de una antigua ciudad inca y es famosa por su centro colonial bien conservado, con varias iglesias de los siglos XVI y XVII, y otras estructuras que mezclan estilos europeos, moriscos e indígenas.

On my previous trips to Utah I passed over visiting Capital Reef National Park being more than a little bit out of the way and being restricted by vacation scheduling and limited by how much you can travel with a bunch of screaming whining kids in the back seat. This time being retired I decided not to pass it over this time and I was glad I did. This is one of the best views from the park from my visit that day.
Fall colors and a small stream all added to the amazing scenery that surrounds Torrey Utah and Capital Reef.
Located near the double bends of the Kentucky River in the Blue Grass Region at Frankfort. Image taken near the grave of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca on a bluff at the Frankfort Cemetery.
View of one of the entrances to the Goya Metro station in Madrid, Spain.
In this corner of the Salamanca district, Madrid, three streets meet, Calle de Alcalá, which linked the capital of Spain with the town of Alcalá (ancient Roman Complutum) and which cuts several streets in this district diagonally.
There also meet Goya painter street and general Narváez street, which at that intersection changes its name and is then called Conde de Peñalver street, which was previously called Torrijos street. (Source: Wikipedia)
The photo was taken with the new 7Artisans 9mm F5.6 lens, version for Z mount, which is super wide angle lens, but not fisheye, but rather follows the concept of a "rectilinear" lens.
It is a lens that allows for great creativity, has a good luminosity and has great sharpness.
The clarity is such that I have had to blur the license plates of several cars.
Since there are no connection pins with the camera, there is no exchange of aperture information, nor does it have autofocus.
In this case, despite the clouds, the luminosity was so high that, even using ISO 64 and an exposure time of 1/80 sec, I had to close the diaphragm to F8 to achieve a correct exposure.
ENTRADA A UNA ESTACIÓN DE METRO, 2025
Vista de una de las bocas de entrada a la estación de Metro madrileño de Goya, España.
En este rincón del Barrio de Salamanca, Madrid, coinciden tres calles, la calle de Alcalá, que unía la capital de España con la localidad de Alcalá (antigua Complutum romana) y que corta varias calles de este barrio en forma diagonal.
Allí también coinciden la calle del pintor Goya y la calle del general Narváez, que en ese cruce cambia de nombre y pasa a llamarse calle del Conde de Peñalver, que antes se llamaba calle Torrijos. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
La foto está hecha con la nueva lente 7Artisans 9mm F5.6, versión para montura Z, que es una lente super gran angular, pero no es ojo de pez, sino que obedece al concepto de lente "rectilínea".
Es una lente que permite una gran creatividad, es muy luminosa y tiene una gran nitidez.
Es tal la nitidez que he tenido que difuminar las matrículas de varios coches.
Al no tener pines de conexión con la cámara, no hay intercambio de información de apertura, ni tiene autofocus.
En este caso, a pesar de las nubes, la luminosidad era tan alta que, aún usando ISO 64 y tiempo de exposición de 1/80 seg, tuve que cerrar el diafragma a F8 y así lograr una exposición correcta.
