Stock Shot Project

The sky cleared long enough for me to grab some shots on top of the Acropolis.  Unfotunately, there was a lot of construcion with scaffolding to be avoided.  One of the ways I usually do this is to include something in the foreground to hide the construction and roaming tourists.  Here I used a wide angle lens focused on the foreground detaisl and included the Parthenon just peaking out behind it.

 

This shot was done with the 16-35mm Nikkor zoom set to 16mm and focused on the foreground column.  At f/8 I was still able to still keep some detail in the background building of the Temple of Athena Nike.

On my way back to the hotel the sky turned very dark and stormy.  This lonely column from the Temple of Olympian Zeus made a nice shot standing out agains the stormy sky.  I do not have Photoshop on my small travel laptop.  When I return from this trip I will rework all these images and replace them on the blog.
