When you capture that perfect image with your camera a sense
of gratification installs upon you. For this same reason travel
photography is an element of the tourism industry which yet had to be further
developed, many companies around the world offer the chance for people to
travel to remote places on the world to view and capture it at its
best. Digital photography is fast becoming an innovative form of
travelling among enthusiasts and it is for this same reason that I would like
to show you how Gibraltar and the South of Spain might be interesting for your
next photography tour.
Gibraltar offers enthusiasts an array of possibilities in
terms of photography, whether you enjoy panoramic or you simply like to capture
the perfect portrait picture. Gibraltar is a tiny peninsula situated in
the Southernmost tip of Spain and has been a British colony since 1704, it is a
place steeped in history and is well known for its 426 metre high Limestone
Rock and the Barbary Macaques. Although these are Gibraltar’s main known
features, I can assure you that this place will astound you beyond
imagination. If you make the ascend up the rock to its 412 metre high
accessible places you will be able to capture how brilliant of a location Gibraltar
ever was as it stood at the entrance to the Mediterranean. No wonder this
was such an important fortress during the World War 2… Gibraltar’s tunnels
housed General Eisenhower during the all-important axis vs. allies. As
you walk through these tunnels you will be able to capture how exactly the
military lived day in day out. Gibraltar has more tunnel roads than
actual roads outside the Rock.
It is a place where you can capture a photo of 3 countries
and two continents, I would say that is rather remarkable. As you stand
at the top of the Rock on the eastern side of the Rock you will be able to see
the Mediterranean sea which blurs out into the far distance, on the western
side you will gather a fantastic insight of Southern Spain and the all-important
port of Algeciras. However, the most fantastic photo is certainly of the
Jebl Musa, part of the Rift Mountains. 26 kilometres from Gibraltar lies
the wonderful continent that is Africa. Morocco a fantastic place of
which I shall also write about soon!
If you ever have the time to visit this world renowned piece
of Rock placed at the entrance to the Mediterranean bring you digital camera
with you. You will be amazed as to how enriched Gibraltar is in terms of
capturing that right photo.
Check out soon for my next entry on Photography in Southern
Spain, places enriched with cultural diversity and wonderful landscapes.
