Allhambra – Granada, Spain – Images by gary little

 These are stunning images from Alhambra in Granada Spain. These were taken on a trip so Spain to visit friends in Nerja on the Spanish Riviera.

This an image of four generations of the Iris. Baby, Youth, Middleage, and Old.

This image was taken at the Highland/Cashiers crossroads. There was a whole host of bees and dahlias.

The image on the top is taken with the tilt shift lens. You can see the vertical lines are correct. The image on the bottom is without the tilt/shift lens. Both were taken at the same location with the same settings, 24mm, aperture priority.

The day was rainy, cold, miserable. The view was fantastic. The waves, the beach, the covered rocks, the island on the horizon. This was taken as part of a photographic workshop in creativity given by John Paul Caponigro who continues to give everyone great inspiration.
I present this in black and white because I believe it gives a more real representation of the feeling of that scene.

On the backwaters of the Chattahoochee river, these flying insects come out just after the first spring rain. Very reminiscent of an oriental silk screen. I used Flypaper textures.
