Espinho

Photographer's Note

This a shot at ending day before my Previous where I captured the train for a special Fool's days TE invite, that you can see in my previous photo and members Theme.

This picture is also the last Pause in my recent Beauty Places Serie. This is my daily local and ritmic beautiful or not so beutiful scenery. It was taken in a ending time of the day, but a peaceful composition for view and thinking about nature surroundings and life.

The weather conditions: Ending sun light, some humidity and the sky where not the best. The Temperature arround 22 degrees and a nice peaceful SEA and Beach sky scenery.

You can see the approaching scenery from the two people in front of you here: Link

Thanks "TE" and all Members of this great "WEB" for sharing ideas and friendly comunication and support.

Nice photo Fernando. Where is this place? What a view of the ocean while drinking a beer or coffee!

I am off to the airport. I will be in Portugal tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be good.

Boa captura deste fim de dia e momento. Grande perspectiva e enquadramento embora possa ser alvo de alguns comentários como já alguém comentou pela positiva e fez muito bem.

Obrigado por mostrares o teu trabalho e por ler também as criticas bem positivas que te fazem.

Até breve e a minha simples opinião e critica!

Fernando,
On the thumbnail I thought this wa shot from a large motorboat, but you have captured a nice atmosphere on land I see now. It's a bit funny that one of the guys are standing on a darker area - it looks as if he had a long shadow, giving it a late day feeling. The light under the umbrella is well balanced.
Thanks,
Magnus

Boa publicidade para Espinho...gosto do ar despreocupado aqui manifesto.

singuanti (15250) 2005-04-02 20:47

Fernando there's something very compelling about this shot. The way the people are standing and positioned strikes me more of something you might find in a painting. Indeed this is a very artistic shot and you show a great eye in seeing this shot. Every compositional aspect is just right and perfect. Congrats, I'm impressed! Hey have you seen my non-nature post? Thanks for sharing this with us Fernando!

This could be from a 'spy movie' with the two mysterious gents being observed by the man having a drink.

Good POV, shame about the relatively overcast sky though.

Tonight you are back in the "correct" way and I have not to move my screen.
I like the proposed scenery here with these "two men in black". This is very well balanced for the three people, and the cover by the "parasol", a discussion could occur on the supplement half person at right but only a big manipulation would sweep him out without loosing the whole covering "parasol" which looks to me as an important element.
I like the colors and quality, and also feeling good in front of this photo like surely you have been in catching it.
Compliments and friendship
Jean Michel
see you tomorrow

Hi Fernando,
A placid place for pausing, with view on sea, a good cup of thee and blabber on with the neighbor.
Well seen!
John.

nice overall work here, I like the seated and the standing people, very good silhoutte too, and the composition is second to none, well done

Gosto do ar tranquilo e relaxado desta foto. Isto é um final de dia de trabalho perfeito, sair do escritorio apos 8 horas fechado e relaxar num sitio assim, a beber uma cerveja e olhar para o mar! bom momento captado de um angulo muito positivo e original. Um abraço, Mario.

jjbach (9326) 2005-04-03 19:04

Very nice and interesting composition. The place is great to drink beer or coffee loking at this wonderful, peaceful view! Very good lighting and atmosphere, I like it a lot!

Regards John

smartins (1967) 2005-04-03 20:29

Fernando, esta é sem duvida uma das melhores maneiras de se acabar o dia. Ficar sentada numa esplanada a olhar para o mar e a ouvir as ondas a rebentarem ;)
Adoro o ponto de vista a mostrar o ar tranquilo das pessoas que por ali estavam. Excelente momento capturado!
Parabéns,
Susana

Hi Fernando,
What a superb picture. It looks like a picture out of an interesting picture. James Bond is observating his opponents.
Well done.

Olá Fernando
Certamente que esta foto foi tirada num final de tarde num dia de semana...
Digo isto, pela calma que a foto transmite.

Claro que sabemos que ao fim de semana Espinho tem "bum" de enchente de pessoas.

Obrigado por partilhares, mais uma foto

ola fernando, this is an absolutely excellent picture! it makes me feel as if i was watching an american thriller an the guys were awaiting a boat trafficing drugs;
very nice, modern-like photo!

Didi (61589) 2005-04-04 13:30

Félicitations Fernando !
Vous avez parfaitement utilisé les points forts en cadrant le personnage attablé sur un point statégique qui attire mon regard vers lui.
La présence des deux hommes en noir me fait penser au film "MIB" Men in Black.
J'apprécie aussi la bonne maîtrise de la lumière.
Felitações Fernando!
Utilizou perfeitamente os pontos fortes que enquadram no personagem sentados sobre um ponto statégique que atrai o meu olhar para ele. A presença dos dois homens preta faz-me pensar ao filme "MIB" Men in Black.
Aprecio também o bom controlo da luz.

Nice graphic setting on this one Fernando. The light is good, the details of the 2 businessmen studying the sea, and the more relaxed guy with the drink - fine details adding to the overall impression.

john_c (24666) 2005-04-17 2:22

Actually, you have captured an extremely interesting daily life shot, Fernando. The scene with the men contemplating the water and the relaxed pose of the more casually dressed figure conjure up all kinds of images about contemplating life. The perspective is most unique. Well done.

apache (1426) 2005-06-09 7:33

Hi Fernando,
One of your shots that i like very much. Fantastic composition with the two men against the vastness of the sea in front. The third guy watching the other two adds strength to the picture. Wonderfully taken..Are they business associates of yours?

I was browsing through your portfolio and noticed I hadn't seen this one yet!
I'd like to be sitting at that table here :) It looks like a very peaceful place to be. Those two men in their harsh business suits very nicely interrupt the scene, while the casually attired man in front observes them...or maybe he just relaxes and enjoys the wide, silver sea? I like the idea :)

Kindest regards!
Nathalie
