Catalunya Spain in Photos a Magical Region

The Catalunya region of Spain is so diverse. From the architecture of Gaudi to the beauty of the Pyrenees it seems to have it all. I wanted to capture the beauty of Catalunya Spain in photos and put them all together in one photo story. We had the chance to experience so many great moments and witness some incredible landscapes. Catalunya is a place that surprised me so much that I want to encourage everyone to visit if they get a chance. So please enjoy….

Visit Catalunya, Spain

Have you visited the region of  Catalunya Spain? Housing Barcelona, Costa Brava and the Pyrenees we think that it is one of the most diverse regions of the country. There is so much to do and we have barely scratched the surface. We’ll be going back to Spain for the fourth time later this year and we can’t wait to see what’s in store in Girona and Costa Brava and to play in the Pyrenees one more time. We’re looking forward to capturing more of Catalunya Spain in photos. Now we just have to get ourselves out there to see the rest of Spain one day soon.

What are your favourite things to do in Catalunya?

  13. Breathtaking pictures! You are lucky to have visited these places. I am green with envy. Those colors and mood you managed to capture on camera is definitely pure talent. How much does one need to save up to get into tours like this? I really want to go on a holiday one of these days.

  23. Can’t wait to see (and experience) it for myself. I’m staying on for awhile post-TBEX and already have a long (perhaps way too long) list of things that I want to do and see.

  33. What an absolutely incredible selection of photos! The first photo looks like it was taken through a kaleidoscope.

    I really love the photos that you take where there is movement in certain sections and stillness in others. How do you create this effect?

    I have tried taking the same photo, one with a shutter speed set fairly fast, and another with it slower. After that I lay the two photos on top of each other in photoshop and try my best to color match them. Unfortunately it doesn’t achieve the results that you have here! Tell me your secret!

    Thanks for the wonderful photos, it looks like you had a great time!

    • Some of these photos were taken in HDR. I shoot 7 different exposures on my Canon 5Dmk2 using magic lantern. I take the photos using a tripod and layer them in post using Photomatix. That’s the secret:) Good luck with your photos and thank you for the lovely comment.

    • Thanks Cole. Yes, conferences are always super busy and we never get enough time to talk to everyone. Time flies by and then we realize that we’ve missed spending time with so many people. But it’s still nice to connect either way. Cheers.
