When walking down Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, at the intersection Carrer de Provença, you will not miss la Casa Milà - La Pedrera.

La Pedrera is a pioneer building designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí.

It has a natural ventilation due to its architecture which made air-conditioning systems unnecessary. The walls in each apartment can be changed individually and there is also an underground car park.

Fantastic if you think that it was built from 1906 to 1912.

The building is a concrete and iron construction with load-bearing columns but without retaining walls.

Low angle photography gives you a different perspective on things. It's an unusual perspective that makes the viewer think about your picture.

Leading lines can draw your viewers attention to the message of your photograph. It tells him what to look at and low angle is a perfect tool to highlight those lines.

The open and airy courtyards of the building provide a place of transit.

The three inner courtyards, one round, two elliptical, are design features that the architect used to provide the rooms with sufficient light and fresh air. Almost all rooms have windows with daylight, which was very unusual for the time.

La Casa Milà has one of the most famous roof terraces in the city, which is characterized by the 28 famous sculptural chimneys and ventilation shafts that Antoni Gaudí designed for this unique building.

There are also 4 domes on the roof.

Low angle emphasizes shapes and structures and it makes objects look bigger, longer, even taller.

Some of the structures on the roof are covered with fragments of marble and broken Valencia tiles.

Putting them in the spotlight with low angle forces your viewer to take a closer look, to take a break and let the picture affect him.

There are also water tanks on the roof, often snail-shaped.

Low angle photography gives them a unique touch. Shapes and forms become more interesting.

I love taking pictures with low angles.

Not only for the above mentioned reasons, but because to me it is a form of being humble. It makes ourselves be little. It honors the object you take a picture off.

Low angle is philosophic and poetic because of the special perspective.

I took these pictures of the famous La Pedrera on a trip to Barcelona. We followed in the footsteps of José's past. His roots are in Barcelona.

It is a fascinating city and a dream for low angle photography due to its amazing architecture throughout the entire city.

I will use these pictures as my entry for the Photo Quest.
