Entrance to the Neo-Romanesque crypt I was in the Almudena Cathedral during the day, but somehow I missed that there is also a crypt under it. I noticed a sign later in the evening, when I was already returning slowly to the hotel. It's really a stunning place. I was the only one there at the time, so nobody was in the way and they have no problems if you use a tripod there. Get more info about this photo on my blog http://blog.hdrshooter.net
From top to the bottom It's stunning how much you can get into one shot by using a wide angle lens. I set up my tripod low and close to the seas, so I could have the seats and also the ceiling in a single shot. And it worked. I used the Canon 16-35mm lens here, at 16mm. It created quite a lot of distortion, when you are so close to your subject, but I don't mind. More info on this pohoto on http://blog.hdrshooter.net
Royal Palace Gate Too bad you can't take photos inside the palace, so here is one from outside :) But it was nice of them, that in the evening, you don't have to pay for entrance. (if you are from the EU that is :) ) Get more info about this photo on my blog http://blog.hdrshooter.net
