The master work of the great architect Gaudi is the church Sagrada Familia, located in Barcelona. The principles he used from observing the nature to build this huge but magnificent piece are incredible. You don't see so much of the church here, only two of the many top towers. I was on the little high bridge connecting those towers. The many cranes around the church are pretty annoying but very necessary. I wonder when it will be finished.


TECH-INFO: I shot 5 JPGs hand held. Like most of my HDR tone mapped images, I used DxO for lens corrections, Photoshop to align and merge them into a HDR file and tone mapped it in Photomatrix Pro. I used pretty conservative settings in the latter program to obtain a very natural look. Afterwards I enhanced the cranes, sky and towers slightly in Photoshop. Also I had to rotate the image because I didn't held my camera perfectly straight. But hey, there were lots of tourists behind me waiting.
