View of the rooftops of the charming Spanish town of AlbarracÃn, as seen from the city walls. The town's been shortlisted to become one of UNESCO World Heritage sites. It probably deserves to be inscribed on such a list.
Unfortunately, there's very little information in English on the web about this place. For those of you who can read Spanish you may want to flick through the wikipedia entry on the town.
Traditional faroese boat house. I used long exposure to get the sky smooth, but I in order to get the grass right, I had to take another shot and combine the two. Is that cheating?
KlaksvÃk, Faroe Islands 2009
40 sec. exposure
Rooftop houses seen from another rooftop in Kwun Tong. Most of the houses are vacant as the building will be torn down and redeveloped next year.

Taken in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. The small tower in the foreground is called a "mirador". Sort of a lookout spot or a widow's walk.

On my last night here I managed to get up onto a high balcony and get the rooftop shot that I wanted.
On a side note, I was surprised by the processing on this one. This is s a 30 s exposure at f/20. The last light was just dissapearing and I only had time for 2 shots. Both were underexposed.
I normally follow the 'expose to the right' principle in my landscape photography, but have recently been reading that ETTR applies more to Nikons as Canons are better with the shadow detail. I had in mind to do some experiments sometime in the future, but got to do one inadvertantly with this one.
Without any processing, the sky was well exposed, but the buildings were just black. I was bowled over by the amount of detail and natural colour I revealed by pushing Aperture's shadow slider to 13. It completely saved the photo.
Will definitely have to try some more examples.
I take photos for fun and for my business blog (Say No! to the Office), food company website (The Tapas Lunch Company) and Spanish food portal (Spanish Food World).
