Outdoor & Indoor Planetarium Center (I), a photo from Aveiro, North

Photographer's Note

I Took this picture a few hours ago when I was looking for complementary pictures of the indoor Planetarium that I post in my previous picture. The time was near 13h30, but is Sunday and this great indoor space only opens at 14h00 GMT, and so I couldn't enter to do my job, neither I only could wait for the maximum of 30 minutes.

So, I decided to change my future entrance date and tried some captures from a Outdoor versus Indoor view as a approach to different situations of looking life, sceneries and views. So, I forget my previous intentions and decided to show what I could got with this "Stop" horary entrance!

Possible this is a great confusion for all of us, if you don't observe with some attention this picture. I'm here but only my reflective discret approach at the outdoor glass door building versus the closed Planetarium indoor scenery.

This is the combined result of external, internal and my position view to this local at the momment.

This modern Planetarium is located in my Town and have near 10 years old. Here we have many cultural and technology events all the year. You have many showrooms, national and international visitors that share important and different cultural daily events.

Thanks to YOU all in advance and also I would like your opinion about this picture.

Hi, Fernando! It's a self-portrait, isn't it? Cool reflections, and you're right, it takes a while to figure out what we're looking at. Congratulations!
Best wishes,
Matt

Excelente idea, Fernando. Me gusta mucho el resultado, es con poco como "Alicia en el país de las maravillas". Me gusta incluso que se intuya tu cuerpo en la foto. Enhorabuena.

Excellent capture, Fernando. Very artistically and thoughtfully presented. I like the reflections, lines and mystery you bring to this shot. Its much like modern art. Very well seen and executed.

bantonbuju (51815) 2005-05-15 15:51

having read both the note and my collegues' critiques i'd like to say that for me this is a hi-tech, sci-fiction, abstract, modern shot very much fitting the planetarium concept;
very "innovative" image;
i like it a lot;

Fernando, I'm stupefy. A super reflection. The changing of the reflection by your own shadow on the window makes it an extraordinary shot. There is so much to discover in this multi-levelled scene

Hey Fernando great shot! I can tell you had fun with the light, shadows, and reflections. This is one of those shots that takes a good bit of looking at before you figure everything out. Great eye in seeing this shot too. Fantastic work Fernando!!

Hello Fernando,
Very interesting idea, a virtual shot well composed, the result is very nice. Keep this way. bravo !

kent_s (1911) 2005-05-16 8:53

Wonderful Fernando
This is just great it's very diffucult to say what's inside and what's outside. This would be a great jig saw pussle whit 1.000 pieces it would be almost impossible to solve

Well done as usual

Hi Fernando, I do see your image, although I cannot see it clearly. It is a very creative picture with abstract sense of twist of combination of indoor and outdoor images. The result is stunning. An excellent compo and an excellent shot.

wilkinsonsg (8662) 2005-05-16 12:36

I see your reflection and all the the others too! they all combine to create a very pleasing pattern - well seen and executed :)

lukkul (510) 2005-05-16 13:50

Olá Fernando,
Será uma aproximação bem mais frontal e aproximada do que a minha num anterior Post que efectuei, mas os reesultados são um autentico puzzle de convergencias e reflexos. Vários níveis num só e com uma boa qualidade. É realmente uma excelente e composição diferente e alto nível imaginativo e creativo.

Parabéns.
Luís.

apazevedo (5469) 2005-05-16 14:42

Olá de novo, Fernando!
Pois é, realmente fiquei um pouco confuso ao primeiro olhar, mas depois olhei com mais atenção, li a nota e pronto, já está!
É realmente um simples mas belo trabalho, muito bem conseguido e com um resultado excelente, muito forte.
Continue a presentear-nos com as suas fotos, eu cá estarei sempre que possa e observá-las-ei com atenção!

fverde (1699) 2005-05-16 15:35

Olá Fernando!
Confesso que ao princípio fiquei um pouco desorientado ao olhar para esta foto. Depois li com atenção o seu comentário e finalmente fez-se luz... :). Estamos perante uma imagem lindíssima, feita de sombras e reflexos. Original, criativa e muito interessante. Um olhar diferente, só conseguido por um fotógrafo de talento e criatividade. Fantástica. Adorei, parabéns!

This picture give us four opportunities to enjoy at the same time.
Number one we are able to see an excellent photo.
Number two , we are able to see the reflection of your figure.
Number three we are able to see some of the internal areas of the planetarium and number four, we are able to see the wood ramp to reach the door and one of the streets of your home town.
It is like a puzzle.
Very well done Fernando.

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-05-17 3:44

Fernando, sure it is a great confusion if we look at both right and left side of the frame, but if i look in the middle I recognise you :))))
This is a good view whith a transformation by the reflection (and espectialy at he place where you are) of the solid element in liquid making perceive that a river in going from the construction to pass under the front one.
Great idea.
I like it

Hi Fernando - strange effect, it works really well here, it looks like 2 images superimposed

dsidwell (9783) 2005-05-17 9:56

A puzzling and delightful photo, Fernando. This is very artistic! I love the effect. The leading lines are so nice. Very exciting work!

mlopes (494) 2005-05-17 12:44

ahah esta é fantástica...

É preciso alguns momentos para te aperceberes do que estás de facto a ver... este é quase um teste de memória: Diga o que são e não são reflexos?

O reflexo do corrimão no exterior parece que faz parte do interior... a porta do fundo parece dar acesso ao infinito depois de passares for tantos reflexos.

Very well done fernando, it makes me think of a photo I post last year that needed to be looked with attention to get all the details. The reflection is amazing, very good catch, very creative, I like it, well done.

jrj (34843) 2005-05-19 14:30

Well made photo art kind of a shot F. Interesting patterns, reflection and play og lines in this one. Good job, I like it.

Niara78 (0) 2005-05-22 11:08

Nice effects, Fernando! Your own reflection here caused me to stare for a while before I saw what exactly I was seeing ;-)

mumek (20226) 2005-05-25 6:02

Another good shot of this Planetarium center, the mix of the reflection inside with outside makes you look intesive to discover all the separate elements like your shadow as an extra.
Excellent deep and sunny colortones
