Temple of Hephaestus
by Rodney Campbell on Jun.02, 2024, under Photography
We met up with some friends from Sydney who were also in Athens and spent a few days visiting some of the historic sites (Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Panathenaic Stadium, The Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and so on)
Temple of Hephaestus

Stoa of Attalos

In the Stoa they also had an old school Camera Obscura (pinhole camera) setup showing a view of the Temple of Hephaestus. The first image is the projection inside the camera and the second the shot taken with my modern camera

Density
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 120 mm, 1/10 sec at f/11, ISO 64
Some tight zoomed in views of the city of Athens taken from atop Filopappou Hill
There are no sky scrapers here like many other modern cities. I’d estimate the tallest buildings are perhaps 10 stories high. But the consistent density of buildings just goes on and on into the distance

Filopappou Hill View
NIKON Z 7 + NIKKOR Z 24-120mm f/4 S @ 58 mm, 1 sec at f/8, ISO 64
The second sunrise location was Filopappou Hill. It’s higher and is further away (and more of a climb up to the top) but it has an excellent vantage of the Parthenon, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus (bottom left) and the rear side of the Acropolis
Alas with quite a lot of cloud about sunrise was a bit meh (it just got progressively brighter) and the best it got was this subtle shades of pink around 6:05AM
