Porto

Uploaded: December 09, 2010

Description

I took it yesterday, cropped & adjusted curves.

I'm tired: I had to arrive on Wednesday evening, but Frankfurt Airport was closed, so we landed in Munich. As the airline could not find us hotel rooms, I had to spend the night on a restaurant table... not very soft! I finally managed to get to Porto by yesterday noon through Madrid. Still, I managed to take about 400 photos in 3 hours. After that, I had to go to the conference.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 25.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

My daughter used to travel alot for her business and while it seems glamorous to us, you show that there is alot of times when it just is no fun. I am so glad that at least you got some time to do some of this gorgeous photo shoots and I think if this is any kind of indication we are going to be in for a treat. Gorgeous way you follow the city coastline. The colors and the designs of the buildings is so beautiful and I just love that layered look as you go from the coast line up the hill. Incredible work of art my friend. #9090775

Fantastic BIG Cityscape ... Wonderful capture.

Winter travel can certainly STINK, sleeping on a table only makes it worse. Get some rest & hope you get back hope easier...

Happy Shooting
