Photographer's Note
This is a picture taken in first of May to a Tourist just near the coastline of my birth town. When I was capturing some pictures of the beach he was taken SOME SHOTS to the splanade and people. I talk with him after the shot some seconds and he saw this picture, but really is not a TE Member. He said that I could publicate the picture and so it is my work and a message to TE members and their work.
Thanks to him and also for the simbolism to the new TE Book. This was captured with my Zoom Camera and is my first shot to take portrait to people in motion and with simbolic feeling to others that makes the some altruistic way.
NOTE: This was taken with good conditions of time and after minutes of the vertical Sun rays, that you can see in my Info view.
This is also a capture taken in my town birth place, that is situated near 18 km South of Oporto and that is a very well known quality town for Surfiii..iing, Fish, Fine Sardines, Touristic indepence and also impotant Casino games in Portugal. This was the weather moment and image of some coming from the beach to the near coastline bar.
This is a nice local for a "ALL Seasons European and Atlantic Beach", Landscape for photo from north to south, Beautiful people and Sunset moments in life that I have already post many moments but as soon I could I will post post more in different ways and seasons view.
IMPORTANT: You must see also these two PICTURES that BOTH were taken near of this place. The fisrt in the same date that YOU can see here: Link and the other and at night near this place here: Link
This post is a reduced image to post here and nothing special with PP only a rectification by contrast and a small filtering by NeatImage.
Have a great Summer holidays in North Hemisphere and at South with the best peaceful Spring or Winter climate. Thanks "TE" Members and this great "WEB" Site for sharing ideas and friendly support, with your fine Members.
If you are in holidays enjoy your place and if have no time see some pictures at TE to Refresh!
Best to YOU All and Thanks in Advance!
Fernando

Olá Fernando,
Um momento de atenção e concentração do fotógrafo, esta expressão facial característica, muito bem captada. Excelente nitidez, cores e luminosidade. Eu confesso que tenho medo dos retratos. O amigo fez um bom trabalho.
Abraços,
Leonor

A fine portrait of that unknown tourist and may be new TE photographer - I like the fine details and his effort zooming or getting the focus - thanks Fernando for sharing.

Hi Fernando. This is a new style from you but still excellent! I like the tight framing on the man and his camera. I like how oblivious he seems to your presence and that makes it all the more natural. I also like the sharp DOF. Well done Fernando!

Good idea to go on natural portraits also in contacting the person you take.
This is a hard job I trying to do myself at the moment and posting on TL (my secret base for tries :))))
This one is a good first one with a nice framing and a position of the camera wich is good.
nice attitude too caught here.
I like it

I like his camera, very old style. He isnt a TE member? Thats a surprise, seems like there are so many of us. perhaps he is a PBAse member:) I do like this photo, well related story in the note. Good tight cropping and a very familiar scene to us all.

Hi Fernando, This is an excellent action shot with a detailed close up portrait to the photographer. I like the shallow DoF here to concentrate on the main subject only. A well taken picture with nice contrast, sharpness, and details. Well done.

Olá Fernando,
Ele estava mesmo concentrado, e era engraçado ser um membro do TE... assim tinhas tido um encontro nao programado eheh
As cores e definição estão fantásticas. Pensava que havia um tema que era "Photographers in action" e era para adiciona-la a esse tema mas parece que fiz confusão...
Obrigado por partilhares,
Um abraço

Good clear sharp portrait Fernando. I like the way you have used a narrow DOF to blur the background.

Fernando,
Um close-up a um outro fotografo curioso. Está excxelente a definição, focagem e o resultante produção. Difícil mas bem obtida. As cores e detalhes estão bons.
Obrigado e um abraço.

An excellent portrait shot with great clarity and contrast. I especially like how well you have framed and cropped this shot, as it really has an impact. Your note is most apropos. Good work, Fernando.

Olá Fernando
Um dia, também, sou "apanhado".
Todos ná corremos esse risco de acabar por ser o tema uns dos outros.
Faz algum tempo que não via uma máquina igual, foi com uma assim que dei os meus 1º passos.
Gosto da espontaneidade transmityidade pela foto. Uma boa captura de um momento.

Boa tarde Fernando, this is a very nice addition to the photogr at work theme and a very good first try of a portrait. I'm also beginning to give people a more prominent place in my frames.
It's nice to see that people still use film SLR's. I like the angle, the sharpness and the rendition of the skintones here. The shallow DoF tops it off. Very nice!
Regards from Rotterdam,
Bert

Olà Fernando !
La netteté est parfaite que l'on apperçoit les pellicules sur les cheveux du jeune homme et l'on peut compter les poils de sa barbe.
Une image parfaitement cadrée.
Merci.
Olà Fernando!
A clareza é perfeita que apercebe-se as películas sobre os cabelos do jovem homem e pode-se contar os cabelos da sua barba. Uma imagem perfeitamente enquadrada. Obrigado.

Olá Fernando,
Interessante descrição do contacto com este fotógrafo e interessante tema ao qual o Jean Michel juntou a fotografia. De facto, nós os fotógrafos nunca aparecemos en imagens e apanhar os outros a fazer o mesmo que nós pode ser um jogo muito engraçado.
Esta fotografia parece-me muito bem realizada e tirada no momento certo. A definição é excelente e gosto dos detalhes e do cabelo fustigado pelo vento, que nos dá uma percepção mais real das condições no momento da captura.
Parabéns!
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo
