Barcelona is one of Spain's most
beautiful cities: the graceful lines of the
cathedral La Seu, deep in the heart of the

photogenic.

Barcelona this tour is for you!
The route:
At the start of the tour a brief introduction is given which includes some prac-
tical advice on photography in Barcelona. From the meeting point we head down
Rambla Cataluña which, with its wide leafy tree lined pedestrian walk way, is often
considered to be one of Barcelona’s most beautiful and elegant street! At this point
we study the movement along the street and how best to capture it using various
shutter speeds and a technique known as panning.

2. From the Bottom of Rambla Cataluña we move onto Barcelona’s most famous
street, the Ramblas. Along the top section of the Ramblas the living statues, which
this street is so well known for, provide excellent portraiture opportunities, and a
chance to work on technical aspects related to zoom, focus, angle and also study
how aperture settings alter the depth of field.
From the Ramblas we then move along the typical windy streets of the Raval
into the contrastingly large, modern, open plaza at Barcelona’s’ Museum of Contem-
porary Art, or MACBA as it is commonly known. Using this hugely popular and lively
space, we study the best ways to capture fast moving subjects.
After this we head into Barcelona’s world
famous food market - La Boqueria. With its my-
riad of tastefully stacked fresh fruit and vegeta-
ble stands and fish stalls there are many amazing
colors and still-life’s to be photographed here!
After being advised on the protocol of taking
shots of the market sellers and their wares we
will learn how metering and ISO setting and aper-
ture size can be used to take the best photo-
graphs in low-light situations.
Winding our way back round over to the
other side of the Ramblas we find ourselves in the Gothic Quarter, probably Barcelo-
na’s most famous area. Here we wonder the back streets going into the hidden plazas
tucked in behind the Cathedral, and taking in the charms of the Gothic architecture.
In this fascinating area we will talk about composition and the law of thirds before
attempting some dramatic images using the naturally occurring shadows and shady
areas caused by the gargoyles and ornate architecture that so typify the gothic pe-
riod.

3. To end the tour we head down to the simple yet magnificent Santa Maria del
Mar, which is situated in Barcelona’s trendy regenerated hot spot, the Born. Here we
finish up with a very simple 20 minute photography assignment, where group mem-
bers get the chance to go off and discover this fabulous part of Barcelona and put
into practice the tricks and techniques they have learnt during the tour capture the
areas charms. During this time your photography guide will of course be on hand to
answer any questions and critique the photos that you have taken. Finally everyone
can convene at a previously designated taps bar for light refreshments and a chance
to share and compare prize photos and get some final advice from your friendly pho-
tography guide.
