Andalusia is located in southern Spain and covers an area of 8 provinces. Andalusia is the second largest autonomous region in Spain. Beautiful Andalucía, the land of olives, oranges, sunflowers, beautiful mountain ranges and valleys, nice white mountain villages with beautiful squares, is a bridge between two continents, Africa and Europe, and is the point where the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. There is something for everyone in Andalusia, from culture to beautiful terraces, sights, long beaches, beautiful inland areas with beautiful reservoirs, mountains and nice villages to visit. Seville is the capital of the province of Andalusia. It has a colorful history dating back to the Romans. The Metropol Parasol was built in 2011, locally known as Las Setas - the Mushrooms. It is the landmark of Seville today. Designed as a giant sunshade with its 30 m high mushroom-like pillars by the German architect Jürgen Mayer. Perhaps the world's largest wooden structure. Elevators run from the basement to the top. It has a beautiful view of the city via a winding walkway from the wavy honeycomb roof.
Enjoy the most beautiful journey around the most important places of the city of Seville. Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square, in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in 2011.
Andalusië ligt in zuid Spanje en beslaat een gebied van 8 provincies. Andalusië de op één na grootste autonome regio in Spanje en meer dan twee keer zo groot als Nederland. Het mooie Andalusië, het land van de olijven, sinaasappels, zonnebloemen, mooie bergketens en valleien, leuke witte bergdorpen met mooie pleintjes, is een brug tussen twee continenten, Afrika en Europa, en is het punt waar de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee elkaar ontmoeten. Er is voor elk wat wils in Andalusië, van cultuur tot mooie terrasjes, bezienswaardigheden, lange stranden, prachtige binnenlanden met mooie stuwmeren, bergen en leuke dorpen om te bezoeken. Sevilla is de hoofdstad van de provincie Andalusië. Het heeft een kleurrijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de Romeinen. Je treft er schitterende historische gebouwen, maar ook tapasbars waar ze de lekkerste gerechten serveren. En natuurlijk de flamenco niet te vergeten. Het Metropol Parasol is gebouwd in 2011, lokaal bekend als Las Setas de Champignons. Het is vandaag de dag het herkenningspunt van Sevilla. Ontworpen als een gigantisch zonnescherm met zijn 30 m hoge paddestoelachtige pilaren door de Duitse architect Jürgen Mayer. Wellicht werelds grootste houten structuur. Liften lopen van de kelder naar de top. Via een kronkelende loopbrug vanaf het golvend honinggraatdak heeft het een prachtig uitzicht over de stad.
L'ultimo ombrellone: vuole essere un smbolo e un saluto alla stagione ormai finita e comunque bella.
This is a b/w version of a shot I took last december and I already uploaded a colored version of it. The picture was taken at Marina Beach Club in El Gouna, Egypt.
Shot with my almost forgotten Fujinon 50/1.4 and extension tubes. The extension tube was equipped with a dandelion chip to enable metering.
The Fujinon lens produces some really lovely, colorful and smooth bokeh. Although the image above was digitally enhanced with Lightroom, including a color-shift for the background.

In decembre, it was still warm in Santa Monica (CA). I took this picture because I liked the geometry of these sunshades. In terms of composition, I was also interested in the large flat divisions of the image, a bit like in a Rothko painting. The sunshades serve to break the monotony, and I made sure to concentrate the objects in the dark blue band that the sea form in the center of the image.
In terms of post-processing, I wanted to give a feeling of the 60s. In Darktable, I started by using tone curves to make the sky and the sand lighter. On the sky, I made sure to increase the contrast of the cloud that was barely visible. I couldn't increase it more than what I achieved, because it was creating too much noise. I used color correction to make the sky more blue and the sand more yellow. I used a bit of low-pass filtering on the lower part of the sand and the upper part of the sky to make them smoother. I also used an equalizer filter on the lower part of the sand to reduce contrast. On the sea, I used color zones to make the blue of the sea darker. Finally, both to give that feeling of a picture with an old technology and to fight the smoothness introduced by the low-pass filter, I added grain on the top and the bottom of the image, where filtering had removed the original grain.
