Day 31 ~ Lisbon Day 1 by nicoleterheide

Day 31 ~ Lisbon Day 1

Here is my first shot from my trip to Lisbon. This was taken on day 1. It is taken in the "Ruinas do Carmo". It's a ruin of a convent that was destroyed by the earthquake in 1755. It now also houses a museum with archeological items which are placed in the convent. The arches are still standing, giving this a fabulous look against the blue sky we had on our first day.

To take this shot I layed on my back on the floor with my camera pointing upwards. The best way to assure that I got the shot from the right angle. People probably looked at me funny, but I didn't care. Had to get that shot ;)
Great shot, comp & wonderful pov!

Thumbs up...and a fave...for doing what it takes to get the picture! It's a beauty! AND, my attitude is that in a half hour, neither you nor those passers-by will recognize one another...and you have your shot!

Great shot, I think all truly dedicated photographers have ended up in an odd pose in a public place in their quest for the best photo.
March 24th, 2016  
Amazing! You did a good job capturing this!

Well done for your unusual pov. As the shot scrolled up I thought at first it was the underside of a wicker chair.... Intriguing!!

Of course you had to get the shot!! Love it. That is such an incredible view, the arches are amazing.
