The places

Real places to stand in.

Zócalo, Día de Muertos

Zócalo, Día de Muertos

Mexico City · Golden hour, a crowd, marigolds everywhere

Thousands in the square under a giant Catrina, cempasúchil in every bed, the Cathedral in low sun. The fiesta scene: see what the oranges and the pinks do to skin, flags and flowers.

Calle Madero at golden hour

Calle Madero at golden hour

Mexico City, Centro · Low warm sun down a crowded street

The pedestrian street from the Zócalo to the Torre Latinoamericana, shoulder to shoulder at the hour these lenses were made for. Stone goes to honey; look at what the blues do to the shade.

Above Eje Central

Mexico City, Centro · Midday, a cumulus sky, traffic below

Ten storeys up at the corner of Madero: the Torre Latino, the dome of Bellas Artes, a sky full of cumulus and a river of cars. The rooftop view, and the sky the Blue Heavens gradient is cut for.

Plaza La Conchita, Coyoacán

Plaza La Conchita, Coyoacán

Mexico City, Coyoacán · Overcast, green, soft

A cobbled plaza, a baroque chapel and the trees of Coyoacán on a grey day: the neighbourhood afternoon that Olivelo or Diamond Green turns into spring.

A cove at Boca de Tomatlán

A cove at Boca de Tomatlán

Jalisco, Mexico, on the Pacific · Hard tropical sun, white sand, turquoise water

Jungle to boulders to a slip of white sand and the sea, on Mexico's Pacific coast. The closest openly licensed photograph to a Tulum morning; Caribbean Gold and Rosa make it the postcard.

Mismaloya cove

Mismaloya cove

Jalisco, Mexico, on the Pacific · Noon sun over a blue bay

Where The Night of the Iguana was filmed: a rocky cove, Los Arcos on the horizon, a hotel on the hill. Put on Electric Blue and watch the bay deepen.

Costa Baja at dusk

Costa Baja at dusk

La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico · Pink dusk over a marina and shallows

A beach, a marina and turquoise shallows from the air at the pink end of the day: the hotel-zone mood, from above. Baja Orange, in Baja.

Aarfontein pan, South Africa · Low sun, cracked pale ground, a flat horizon

No openly licensed 360° of Black Rock City exists, so here is the closest thing: a cracked pan with tyre tracks and nothing to the horizon at golden hour. The playa light, for the Mayan frame.

A promenade, sky on fire

A promenade, sky on fire

Sea Point, Cape Town · A fiery sunset over the sea

The sunset-bar hour Ibiza's west coast is famous for, photographed on another coast of the same Atlantic. Take the glasses off at the right moment for the afterimage.

A walk along the shore

A walk along the shore

Norah Head, New South Wales · Moving: sand, a rock shelf, surf, a lighthouse · moving

A 360° video, not a still: the camera walks the beach under the lighthouse, so the world moves around you the way a real morning out does. Look back over your shoulder as you go.

Riding the Old Ghost Road

Riding the Old Ghost Road

West Coast, New Zealand · Moving: a bicycle through beech forest and over a ridge · moving

On a bicycle, as Star asked: trees stream past, the ridge opens, and the lens has to keep up with a moving world. Olivelo and Diamond Green were made for green like this.

Venice at sunset

Venice, Italy · Low warm sun over the lagoon

An hour from the Treviso workshop where every pair is made. Watch what the oranges and the violet do to a sunset.

Mondello beach

Mondello beach

Sicily, Italy · Hard noon sun, white sand

The brightest world here. Olivelo needs this much light to come alive; Rosa shows how little it takes to soften glare.

A grey afternoon

A grey afternoon

Lythwood, South Africa · Overcast, flat, no shadows

The world LVB made the oranges for. Put on Pop Orange here and the afternoon becomes a sunset.

A café under LEDs

Indoors, artificial light · Cool LED and screen light

Where most of us actually live. Orange Skies and Rosa are the everyday lenses for exactly this.

St. Peter's Square at night

St. Peter's Square at night

Rome, Italy · Lamps, night sky

Electric Blue turns lamplight into moonlight. Caribbean Gold does the opposite and gilds the colonnade.

A field of sunflowers

A field of sunflowers

Countryside, midday · Full sun, blue sky, green and yellow everywhere

Caribbean Gold lifts green, and this is where you can see it. Diamond Green rinses the whole field.

Forest canopy · Last light, soft and blue

Quiet enough to feel what Purple Haze and Flamingo do to a fading day.

Piazza San Marco

Piazza San Marco

Venice, Italy · Evening, partly cloudy

Stone, sky and crowds. The pinks make the whole square look like it is in love.
