In 'La Juderia', a photo from Cordoba, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

C髍doba - In 慙a Juderia�

While sometimes TE members are struggling to get some people on their pictures, this time I had no idea how I could avoid them 

La Juderia is C髍doba抯 old Jewish quarter and an amazing network of lanes, patios and little gardens with fountains. It抯 really very beautiful to see. However, this part of town is highly commercialized resulting in a lot of visitors.

The picture in the workshop is almost an exception with no one who has suddenly jumped in front of the camera. Only a group of tourists a few meters further. I know, if I want to travel I have to accept that the rest of mankind also travels.
The only thing I could do was pointing my camera above all heads and then just have a higher portion of the labyrinth of streets. Well, I think the result is also a bit maze-like.

From Wikipedia (Spanish page):

The Jewish Quarter in C髍doba is built between the 10th and 15th century. This was the neighbourhood where Jews lived. It is located northwest of the Mezquita Catedral.

La Juderia is part of the historic center and one of the most visited areas by tourists in this 慍ity of Three Cultures�. In 1994 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Hello Paul,

I see that you succeeded in avoiding people in this picture :). Sometimes the people are important part of the composition, sometimes it is better without them, specially when there are herds of tourists in groups. What a busy composition, so many elements in a small picture. I like this colourful roof. Excellent picture.
I suppose that I will not see many tourists (if any) in my trip that starts this evening. I am very excited.

WArm regard s MAlgo
I like the Workshop picture too, nice umbrellas and here the people not disturb too much.

Dag Paul,

Ik kan uw tweede foto nog niet zien ietsje te vroeg voor TE. Ik kijk steeds on TE beta.
Maar uw foto is echt van hoge kwaliteit, ik had vroeger ook de S series van Canon, en goede toestellen.
Maar ik kreeg deze in test van Canon in Zaventem via mijn dienst en moest deze steeds terug geven.
Heel mooi Paul, pracht werk, heerlijke fotografie.
Bedankt.

Prettig en zonnig weekend,
John.

Good morning Paul,
You show the "Juderia" with a cheerful set of colors, contrast to what I remember from our visit in 06-1998 in Cordoba - I mostly saw white alleys with small shops, flower-pots decorating, not much more but a 40C temp.s'. Yet, here it looks a lot different, with vivid colors and more adorned shops. I assume tourism is greater nowadays over there, made the place flourish and that's a good bonus for photographers.
Real pleasure to look at this photo.
Enjoy your weekend,
Ike

Hello Paul,

Good sharpness and I like the tight framing. Lots of vibrant color and there is a lot to look at in this image. I've been to Cordoba but you found a pov that I missed. Tfs!

Bonjour Paul,

J'aime beaucoup la compression de cette image. Elle donne beaucoup d'informations et ce n'est pas le choix de restaurant qui manque dans cette petite rue 閠roite. Tr鑣 bonne id閑 d'image.

Bon samedi

Serge

Hi, Paul,
Good piece of Cordoba. Fine details of the famous Spanish city. Unfortunately, no time to visit the South.
Thanks for visit and comment of my latest post. Yep, we have the green hills in the summertime. But I also was surprised with this red color of soil in this region.
Best!
Serghei

Dag Paul,
Ik denk dat je de juiste oplossing hebt gevonden. Om deze hele groep weg te fotoshoppen was een schier onmogelijke opgave geweest en ik moet zeggen dat de onderkant van de foto best gemist kan worden. Het leuke deel van de voorstelling staat er helemaal op.(behalve dan de paraplu's
Groet Rob

Hi Paul,great solution this zoom on this alley,perfect to create a very very rich composition,full of colors and things to watch,very sharp despite the different perspective levels,i like it! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

jemaflor (148368) 2016-05-07 23:29

Salut Paul,
Bien vus et cadr閟 ces d閠ails de la rue avec couleurs et enseignes. Bon effet zoom qui 閏rase un peu la perspective et fait se superposer dans un esth閠ique patchwork tous ces d閠ails, int閞essant effet.

Uff, I feel dizzy of so many colors, shapes and details, a corner in this Jewish Quarter with so many details, signs, lamps and colored elements, you could not resist to take a photo, very well observed and captured

Hallo Paul,
Je hebt alle toeristen mooi weten te vermijden door alleen om de vele uithangborden en lampen aan de gevels in te zoomen. Het geeft een heel goed beeld van dit straatje. Het is vooral mooi om te zien hoe de kleuren zich in het midden concentreren en de muren en borden eromheen vooral zwart-wit zijn.

Ciao Paul
il teleobiettivo ha schiacciato i vari soggetti della foto, ma il risultato � molto bello, sembra un incredibile puzzle di parole e colori.
Saluti

Well seen and done better. I like it.

Hello Paul

Busy, vibrant, colourful. I like the use of the long end of your zoom to compress the perspective.

Hi Paul,

Very well seen and captured,
