Park of the Nations by night, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Dear friends of Trekearth

This is is a new up market area of Lisbon. The former grounds of the 'Expo 98' were not left to abandonment and is now called 'Nations Park' (Parque das Nações). Used both during the day and at night, it offers numerous attractions: you can use its promenade by the river for a run, for a walk or just to sit and enjoy the view of Vasco da Gama Bridge; visit some of the pavilions that are still open like the Oceanarium, the Virtual Reality Pavilion, the Knowledge Pavilion, Macau Pavilion, attend live concerts in the Atlantic Pavilion; enjoy the cable car ride; cross the street and go shopping in the Vasco da Gama Shopping Centre; have an exquisite meal in some of the finest restaurants in town or just have a drink in one of the relaxed bars! As you can see, there is a choice for everyone.

The park was built with the general theme of "The oceans, a heritage for the future" and some 142 countries and international organizations participated. Today it offers a unique and exciting experience!

I hope you like it.

Hello Aires! Very interesting and creative composition. The long exposure created an intriguing visual effect along with a capture of a "ghost" person in the lower right.

Very well done!
Doug

Hello Aires,
Une photo très bien réussie; le cadrage est original, l'effet de la lumière avec l'eau
crée une ambiance graphique.

Hi Aires,
This is a composition loaded with shapes of all sorts, and it works. Effective perspective. Good colors, contrast, and do I see a person's reflection to the right. Good job. Best wishes. Danilo

Hello Aires,
Interesting lines!
The see-through effect is amazing and very well captured, all presented in this fine composition...
Well done on the low lighting, intersting "shadow" in the lower right corner!
Greetings,

Olá Aires,
muito bonita esta foto nocturna do Parque das nações.
Estas linhas de água criam um efeito gráfico muito interessante.
Essa figura "fantasma" no lado direito é um pouco intrigante.
A exposição está perfeita.
Beijos
Teresa

Bonjour Aires,
c'est très graphique et coloré comme composition.
J'aime un peu moins les fantômes sur la droite.
Le cadrage et l'exposition sont au top.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Olá Aires
Uma ótima foto noturna. A água mais as luzes criaram um efeito muito interessante, gostei!
Parabéns, grande abraço e boas fotos!!!
Vera.

hello Aires.
This is a very nice ghosting effect of the individuals in the foreground. Your handling of the exposure has given this shot a little surreal feeling. Good lighting behind with a nice contrast between the flouresent and incadescent lighting. The dhot looks very nice because of the reflections do to the water, for sure something would be missing without them.
Regards,
Chris.

sebcz (2345) 2006-10-07 3:36

Interesting result achieved, Aires. I admire the quality. Lights, warm surfaces, everything is just perfectly clear. Even the sky is dark blue, behind those arches of light.
Well done!

Olá Aires,
it is a very nice shot of this play with light. With this POV I can watch each lamp in any reflection. It is excellent and the strange effect of the ones on the right adds more.
The note is very interesting.
Regards Ulf

Wanda1 (15142) 2006-10-07 14:38

Hi Aires,
A wonderful night shot, very creative. I like the colours that are created by the lights. The lines in the foreground create a nice effect and the mystery person is great.
Regards
Wanda

Excellent night photo. The landscape seen through the water curtain is very interesting. Nice colours. I like the spectral silhouette from the right.

Hola Aries

Excelente pov y composición, la idea de mostrar este lugar através del agua de la fuente está genial.
Un gran tiro
Sergio

jlynx (12647) 2006-10-11 9:53

Here the splendid example of the party with enlightened and with the shadow, without skipping of values. These factors here dominate and efficiently fill the picture. Shadows of people in the foreground are the fascinating addition which the resoluteness brings to life the whole.
Best regards,
Jurek

Olá Aires!
Eu não podia deixar de eleger esta foto como uma das minhas favoritas!
Lindas cores, bem escolhido grau de luminosidade, e o tempo de exposição que escolheste permitiu criar aquele belo efeito fantasma que aqui vemos. Boa definição, como já é habitual nos teus trabalhos.
Bjs e obrigada pela partilha!
Rosa
