Pyramid of the Sun, Teotihuacán, México


nomade

Brightness/contrast correction for the grass on the foreground, some burning for the clouds.

... shooting, the light was not the best one (midday, many people around, flat light, etc.), this is one of the less worst of a great site.

Prior to go there I saw some shots of the place to get some ideas of the place and how to shoot it, and none of them were surprisingly original, only the "typical" dusk or dawn shots...

For my luck, at the end of our visit, the sky get cloudy and here's the result.

Strong composition. Would be better if the grass is not burned and more details of the pyramid looking structure are retained.

Ésta sí que es muy buena Néstor. Realmente sé de lo que estás hablando acerca de Teotihuacán. Me gusta mucho la saturación de los colores en un ambiente que es más bien seco. La versión en sepia es también muy buena pero esta me gusta mas personalmente. Lo único que tal vez no me convence, es el marco.

It is a good idea to have place this tree on the foreground. Just a little thing that bother me (scarcely): the three long blades of grass. I would have trampled it without remorse. Otherwise, it is a very good photo, in spite of the conditions you say.

Excelente postal Nestor !!!

Por lo regular, todos los días son acompañados por hermosas nubes que nos otorgan el conceptual

deseo de transformarlas en ninfas, mezcla visual y contraste emocional ... Para mi gusto, no era muy necesaría la saturación del cielo y un pequeño detalle es el marco ... Captaste belleza dentro de la belleza misma.

This is a very good shot; I have been there, and I know first-hand that it is an absolute pain to try to get a good picture of the Pirámide del Sol. You were actually lucky to have the clouds set in (but I see you tried to dodge the rest, so I think I know why you think it was a bad thing), because in broad daylight the pollution from Mexico City makes for an ugly haze (only time of the year this is not a problem is during Winter). I have only been there once with an SLR, and I hope to take a shot like yours. Tripods are forbidden, so getting a steady shot without high-speed film, and the utter lack of possible places you can shoot without obstacles is limited (that is, if you don't get a photographer's permit and get privileges for clear access).
