Re: Spain before my eyes

Hello LarryC.

In the case of "De la Tierra al Cielo", the colors and contrast in the
sky is achieved by using a polarizing filter. In the case of "Eolos"
there was no polarizer, just a UV filter so... well it's just a case of
luck, I think I should say. I looked up, saw the sun just behind the
windmill and took the photograph. I'm afraid there's no technique to
explain there, blame the camera for rendering the photo so nicely...
:-)

All of the photographs have been taken with a Canon EOS 350D (Digital
Rebel XT), using the kit lenses (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6).

Thanks for your interest,
Daniel.
