Thanks Maribel, Kellyee21 and Mara for your wonderful comments...

Kellyee21...I use Canon equipment with 40D as my camera and have 3 lenses - Canon 10-22, 17-55 and 70-200 IS lens...

I do shoot in Raw and most of the time I take multiple shots and merge them to get a better exposure... it is not as difficult as it reads though! just takes time...

Have fun...I will start processing "White Towns" photos soon so in a couple of weeks I should be able to post them...

Absolutly beautiful photos! I visited Seville and Cordoba in April and these photos bring back a lot of great memories. Do you shoot many of your photos early in the morning? Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing more of your gorgeous photos.

Vibhav, your photos are breathtaking beautiful!

I have never been to Seville but I do have a friend who was born and raised in Seville and goes home every year as she has all her family there. She and her American husband plan on moving to Seville when he retires. She has always told me how beautiful Seville is but I had no idea it is so beautiful!

Thanks roadlesstraveled, josele, loveitaly and amsdon...

roadlesstraveled...i do like to shoot early in the mornings or late in the day when the sun is lower to give better depth to images...on this trip shooting at late in the day was easier since sun used to go down by 5:30pm or so...

josele...you guessed it right! your work itself is so beautiful and inspiring... Don't get your hopes of pueblos blancos too high as we did little photography there and just relaxed...

amsdon...nope I am not a professional photographer...it is just my hobby... something that keeps me reminding of the trip way after I have taken it... with a little 3 year old, it is hard to keep that up though!

vibhav - these are fabulous!

I just booked my first trip to Seville for mid-March and can't wait. If I can get a handful of pictures as good as yours I will be thrilled.

Thank you so much Vibhav for your reply. I also have the Canon 40D (17-85 IS kit lense) and am trying to improve my skills. Actually a couple weeks ago I saw your Cinque Terre photos while I was processing mine from this summer. I have some of the same shots but your photos are highly superior.

I have some free time now so I am going to get out soon and shoot in RAW as well as try the merge (bracketing ?) technique. I am also looking to add at least one lense and I was already considering the 10-22 to start and then a longer zoom when I have more funds.

Thanks for your help. I am looking forward to seeing your other photos, you are truely an inspiration.

WOW.. stunning pictures!

I wish my souvenir coffee table book from Sevilla had pictures THAT good. Not just the professional quality but also the perspectives, angles, details.. wonderful.

You should definetely consider to get in touch with a travel magazine or similar to offer your photos. Thanks for sharing before you become a pro

Thanks sferguso, kellyee21 and Cowboy1968....this is humbling...

sferguso...you can not go wrong with Seville...you will have loads of fun...

kellyee21...yes the technique is called bracketing where you expose one shot for the highlights and the other for shadows and then merge the two to obtain proper exposure... the trick is to not try and push it so far that it starts looking unrealistic... Drop me a line if you need any specific help on that topic... I may be able to find some web resources and point those to you...

Cowboy1968...I wish I were a pro, then my hobby and work would be the same...unfortunately, can not do that and it is a tough profession! We also make coffee table books out of the pictures we take...it is probably the best thing we could do with out pictures...
