Category: NFS Spain Photos

This winner of best photo in the NFS Flickr Group this month is Luke, with the above, wonderful portrait, “Shepherd near Segovia”. Luke said:

“I took it last summer in a pueblo between Avila and Segovia. He seemed to have the ‘thousand yard stare’ that you don’t get living in the city. In that area of Castilla there are occasionally blue eyed, red skinned people who don’t fit the stereotype ‘Spaniard’. I guess they are from the Celto-Iberian or Gothic/Visigothic gene pool?”

You can check out more of Luke’s great pictures on Flickr.

Keep adding your Spain photos to our Flickr group, every month we display the best image here on the blog!

It’s been a long time since I posted regular photos of the month from the Notes from Spain Flickr Group. It’s time to bring this feature back to life, and we would love it if you have great Spain photos to share.

All you have to do is join the Notes from Spain Flickr Group, and post your best Spain photos there. Every month I’ll take a look at the group and pick the very best Spain photo to post here on the blog. The first new ‘photo of the month’ will be picked on March 1st, so get posting!

The Alpujarras are a magical mountain range beyond Granada and the Sierra Nevada… See more photos here… Podcast to follow soon…

I read a great post about photowalking the other day, and have been inspired to start taking my good camera everywhere with me again (my EOS 350 SLR, as opposed to the wonderful but less dynamic Ixus 700).

I used to be an avid photographer, but in recent times have let it slip – there is just two much extra media to play with (audio, video, writing…) Let’s see what happens. The image above (large version) was taken in Bolonia, Costa de la Luz, one of my favourite beaches on the planet, which thankfully is not winning in the 20minutos.com ‘Best Beach’ competition – please take time to vote for one of the other finalists, to keep Bolonia off the map!

And don’t forget to check out our Notes from Spain flickr group every now and again, there are some inspiring photos on there. Why not add one of yours?

Can’t help it, I’m a sucker for clouds, and for desolate landscapes for that matter too, so this month’s NFS Flickr Group pic of the month award goes to Nodriman (Germán) with this stunning photo of an old military barracks near the sea, a few kilometers north of the city of Ciutadella in Menorca.

Menorca is a place I have yet to visit, and I suggest you take a minute to have a look at Nodriman’s other Menorca photos – mouthwatering stuff – have you ever seen sea that colour before?

Oh goodness, I need your help again. How can I choose an NFS Flickr pic of the month from this lot? Just have a look through the photos on the most recent four pages (which roughly correspond to March) and tell me which you like best. The quality is astounding. Let me know your favourites, and I’ll publish them here later this week.
