Athína Twilight || Photographic Tall Tales
As a photographer, I’m thankful that I get to experience these amazing locations at their most beautiful moments. So how exactly did I find this particular view of the Acropolis in Greece?
Well, while I could be all melodramatic (like most photographers are) and tell you that I auditioned hundreds of rooftops, or that I hiked many miles and climbed millions of stairs, or that I captured this slightly before a dozen Greek Gypsies crowned me their supreme ruler and carried me away to Mt. Olympus in a golden palanquin with an escort of flying unicorns , I’ll just tell you the truth… There weren’t any unicorns…
Don’t get your unicorn joke, but great shot. I be more interested to know how you got the moon to look so big and shot the temple with no cranes or construction quipment there (everytime I see the place it has cranes and scaffolding in the way)
Hey Eric, the moon is scaled up a bit to offset the wide angle distortion. Getting the shot with no cranes was just luck.
Nice shot. I thought you would have to dodge the rioting proletariat.
hehe…Elia, you crack me up….OK, “Supreme Leader of a Dozen Greek Gypsies”….breeze on….breeze on….
I’m not surprised about it really. What gets me is that they lied to me about having unicorns. Very unprofessional, IMO.
That just sucks. I mean – no unicorns? What? Especially after you created a beauty like for them. You deserve the unicorns.
