Roof Chimneys, Idanha-a-Velha, September 2018

September 23, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Sony a6500, 16-70mm f/4 Carl Zeiss
Settings: 23mm, ISO 100, f/6.3, 1/200sec

During my last trip to Portugal, I visited some towns that belong to a network of Historic Villages (there are 12 in total). One of them was Idanha-a-Velha.

These three chimneys on the roof caught my eye and decided to make an image of them.

I had to work the scene quite a bit, since the background was pretty busy (see second photograph).

Giving up the roof, I got close to the house and focused on isolating the three chimneys. I thought they could work pretty well against the silhouette of the roof and a dark sky.
