The Fantastic Exterior Facade of Barcelona's Palace of Music

The colorful creativity of the Palau de Musica Catalana provides a wealth of visual interest. The intricate detail and design is in total harmony with the architectural elements in such a unique and unserious way.

It's difficult to shoot though, being in a very narrow street at a small intersection of two pedestrian streets. My 24-105 f4 Sony G Master couldn't handle the verticality so I decided to make a vertical pano from two horizontals frames.

I shot at 24mm, f 6.3 @ 1/125th ISO 320 on my Sony A7RIII. Both shots were imported into Lightroom, processed in DXO PureRaw, re-imported back into LR, Merged to Panorama and then edited from there.

The extreme perspective was troublesome and required tweaking adjusting the Distortion from Lens Corrections plus additional transforming of the perspective in LR. Colors got a bit out there and required some work to keep the pinks under control and desaturate the off whites.

The sky was bland to say the least so taking the file into Luminar NEO to see what Sky Replacement could come up with was logical. What turned out to be a fortunate happenstance was that this particular sky augmented the extreme perspective perfectly.
