Court of the Lions, Alhambra

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 16 May 2018 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Looking past the throngs of tourists toward the Court of the Lions which is in the heart of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain.

Built by Muhammad V between 1351 and 1362 it's a truly beautiful and uplifting architectural space.

Pretty light and architecture on this one.

I was just thinking of you Ian as I got a new 10 stop ND filter and am now running around trying to find something interesting to capture. Need to go back through your archives for some inspiration.

@Jason Kravitz: Hi Jason - it's more about the tourists than the architecture isn't it - or how we interact with the architecture of famous buildings. I would have tried a long-exposure shot at this location to 'remove' the people from the shot however tripods are banned at the Alhambra. Re the 10 stop - if you're looking at any of my daytime shots where the exposure time is 2 minutes or more I will have used a 6 stop as well as my 10 stop so 16 stops altogether.
