A Spanish Wall

Expressing myself in words isn't easy to do, I can never seem to get my point across as well as other people I know, so I'm always really delighted when I get a great photo that tells a story on its own.

I great photo is one that needs no introduction, it's title doesn't need to be too witty or clever, the viewer simply needs to sit back and enjoy the scene. This photo of a Spanish Wall is my tribute to tranquilo, an oddly named expression of Spanish lifestyle since they are in fact anything but.

Landscape photos aren't really my strongest skill, I lack the patience to set up my tripod and get everything perfect. I much prefer taking close-up photos of flowers and insects, or street scenes with people, but any photographer who aspires to going professional one day needs to perfect all styles, so on this occasion I did setup my tripod, and waited patiently for both the tourists to exit stage left and the clouds to move just enough to give me some light.

I have found a great online tutorial for improving landscape photos if you're interested, over at the digital photography school.
