A while back I posted photos of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. While there, I was drawn to a statue depicting Christ carrying his cross. I processed these in black and white to accentuate form and texture.

I love photography’s ability to freeze moments, then allow us to go back, in this case, back to Barcelona where I visited and enjoyed the sites a couple of months ago. Here are some photos I took while there of the sentinels on Casa Milà’s roof, processed for B&W with my new B&W tool.

The Sagrada Familia cathedral is just as impressive — if not more so — inside than it is outside. Here are some shots I took during my Barcelona visit. Once more, I took these with my Nikon D7000 and Sigma 8-16 lens.

While visiting Barcelona, we had a chance to visit Gaudi’s last great work, Sagrada Familia. Here are some photos of the front facade.

While visiting Santa Maria del Mar, expecting to take in some of the gothic architecuture, I ended up taking a handful of shots of a gothic Barcelona wedding. Though I had none of my usual wedding lenses — only the Sigma 8-16 — I still managed to capture a couple of nice moments.

Once the joyous occasion wrapped up and things settled inside the church, I had plenty of time to photograph the wonderful, yet austere and simple gothic architecture.

Just got back from a vacation when I had a chance to put my Nikon D7000 and Sigma 8-16 to a bit of a test. I also took the Nikkor 16-85 along, but the Sigma 8-16 was by far the funnest to shoot. Here are two photos from Montjuïc Castelle, Barcelona.
