Vacation - mex city
« on: January 13, 2017, 18:57:31 »
A few images from a trip I did before new years

These are in and around a museum, hosted in a Castle in an area called Chapultepec - meaning hill of the grasshoper - it is a large park in the middle of Mexico city

#2 and #5 are my favorites.  The slightly flared fountain enhances a dreamy quality.  The stained glass just makes me want to be there!

Thanks for your comments

The stain glass corridor is my favorite spot

Thanks for the picturess, a very interesting place and really nice perspectives!

I love #4: the contrast between Old (foreground) and New (background) plus the dreamlike quality of the background due to the haze.

P.S. Were all pictures taken with the same camera/ lens combination? Some of the exifs weren't displayed in my browser.

I also love the Stain-glass corridor. Very impressive and nicely photographed.

I had the V1 with the 10mm f2.8 and 18.5 f1.8, these pictures were taken with the 10mm lens, all at f2.8 , except the 3. door where I used f4
The trend to build big impressive buildings in this area seems to be a constant
The haze is mostly pollution

Thanks again for the comments
