Tour Blog - Spain


A selection of photos from the downward leg of the journey...


ISO100, 310mm, f/9, 1/2000s, -1.6ev

We wild camped on the shore of a reservoir in northern Spain, with a village on the horizon silhouetted by the rising Sun. Taken on the 100-400mm, exposed for the sky and dialled down to minimise burnout as the Sun crested the ridge.


ISO800, 16mm, f/3.5, 1/25s, -1.3ev, noise reduction

Segovia Cathedral at night

ISO640, 30mm, f/6.3, 1/40s, -1ev, curves, desaturated, dodge & burn

Artisan workman's bench, Toledo

ISO100, 16mm, f/8, 1/60s, -2ev, tripod, cable release

Spanish windmill at Consuegra.
There was a film crew recording the final scenes of a movie the night we stayed at Consuegra which limited angles a bit, but happy with this one and the previously posted panoramic moon rise.

ISO125, 400mm, f/6.3, 1/640s, -1ev, cropped

Spanish dragonfly.
I didn't take my macro lens (only so much room on a motorcycle!), but still managed to get a few wildlife shots using my telephoto lens.

ISO100, 16mm, f/10, 1/80s, -2ev, selective blurred layer

A dreamy sunset in Andalucia

ISO100, 16mm, f/13, 1/60s, -0.6ev

Snow warning signs at the side of a roasting desert canyon road. It was high thirties (Celsius) and was always strange to ride past ice warnings, snow ploughs and ski lifts in the sunny mountains.

Nice shots Mark, I particularly like the sunset at the top :-)
