Edit: new shots added at the bottom of the thread

So I had a few days to shoot some Spanish landscapes and cityscapes. The skies were predominantly clear, and the weather extremely hot, so this is the best I could come up with. I made a huge mistake of not renting a car, so that more than halved of what / when I could do. C+C welcome

All shot on 1D mkIII (my lightest camera ) and a 2.5kg selection of lenses. It took me 2 weeks at work to recover from that trip.

#7 #8 and #10 are great, you can feel the warmth and the fresh air

Very good set. Not too keen on the night time shots.

Not too keen on the night time shots.

OK, could you tell me why please? They were really main aim, apart from the conference I was attending the day before.

I'm loving the night time/blue hour shots.

Number 11 in toledo...... Great depth to that one.

A lovely set of shots - everyone a winner for me... keep them coming...

I think night time shots need to be in colour, so that's why i am not too keen on the b-w. The other two look a little soft to me, but as i said i like the daytime shots.

Excellent set of images, all clear and crisp with good use of light. Too many to comment on individually, unfortunately.
