Seville | Plaza de España Blue Hour

Seville’s Plaza de España was built in 1928 for the 1929 World Expo, which was hosted in the adjacent park. The Plaza was used as a place to exhibit Spain’s industry; today the buildings are mainly occupied by government departments. All around the Plaza are little alcoves with beautiful tiles depicting each province of Spain.

This picture was taken during blue hour, after the sun had set but before the sky was completely dark. I used a Hoya NDX400 “black glass” filter (9 stops) and a 2 minute exposure for this shot.
