Sea Rocky Tilt&MY 199th POST, a photo from Acores, Islands

Photographer's Note

This is a Picture taken from the boat with a personal TILT approach. This transport makes the daily public Sea channel voyage between Faial and Pico Island at Azores. Now I present you with a tilted view another angle of the known STAND DOWN Rocky Islander that stays near Madalena at Pico Island. This is a nice and curious rock formation with a Entry like a inverted vertical fish shape door or entry in the middle of the Islander, giving a narrow window to the other side.

PLEASE See my WS's for reference, Links and also my Technical Information for a better information.

This post is DEDICATED to TE French Photographers that also like SEA and are also oldest friendly critiquers of my work and posts, that are JMDAOUDAL, JEMAFLOR and DIDI that I thank very much for their positive critiques and good work.

To DIDI that I think he don't likes the TILT but I promised to him a different approach view in a past post of this nature in another angle and day that you can see here: Link

From him I received a good WS for complementary guide information.

ADITIONAL INFO: For a different view you can see this and the STAND UP Islander at a previous post here: Link

Also, you can see another picture from interesting Islanders at the S.Miguel Island here: Link

IMPORTANT LOCAL CAPTURE: If You want to see the Local where I took this picture I give a Google Map with a reference GREEN CAMERA ICON here: Link

Technical notes and Information: This was taken after midday from the boat, the weather was not so good, the Sun was near my right frontal view and it was a few brighty and cloudy moment.

ISO=64, Focal Lenght=38mm with NO cropping by my personal option, a smell of Hue and BLUE after reduction for post and of Neatimage filtering in the sky.

IMPORTANT Note: In my Photo Information YOU have a Travelogue of my voyage and two WS-Workshops. Both are pictures taken in a before interval of 30 seconds of this one with the same camera and without any filters. Now I have ones but here no.

These beautiful Islands are located in the vast Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America. They are natural and preserved nature wonders that have Sailors, Solitaire navigators and important world tourism and preserved Sportiv Game-Fishing with people linked to United States, Canada, Brazil, Europe and also naturally to Continental Portugal.

Thanks in advance and I hope you like this Tilt Artwork of Nature with this View. Best to you all.

Fernando

Olà Fernando
Il y a TILT et TILT; ici c'est volontaire afin de donner un effet spécial à la composition.
C'est bien fait, mais la vague est un peu surexposée; ce n'est pas de votre faute car la lumière solaire était voilée par un nuage.
J'ai fait un WS.
Merci de vos compliments.

Olà Fernando
Ele lá a TILT e TILT; aqui é voluntário a fim de dar um efeito especial à composição. É feita bem, mas a vaga surexposée ligeiramente; não é da vossa falta porque a luz solar era encoberta por uma nuvem. Fiz um WS. Obrigado dos vossos cumprimentos.

Boa tarde Fernando, and experiment from you with tilt, harsh contrast and a some over exposure......and why not! It dramatizes the image and amplifies the feeling of movement. There's als an almost abstract quality to this one that I like. Good work,
Have a nice week and best regards,
Bert

Gaby

weswang (18247) 2006-02-27 16:48

Hi Fernando, Congratulations to your 200th post. You have been established yourself with your fine collection of ocean pictures in TE. I have enjoyed all of them. A nice and creative tilt shot to show the special landscape in this picture. I have added this photo to the theme “tilt-society”. Thanks for the extra photos to show the details of the rock formations.
Correction: Congratulations to the 200-1 post :D

TeresaT (10806) 2006-02-27 17:59

olá Fernando
uma imagem bastante ousada esta com uma linha de horizonte bastante inclinada.
No entanto não deixa de ser uma imagem bastante interessante.
Afinal de contas a fotografia não é apenas aquilo que lemos nos manuais...e esta imagem é um exemplo disso.
Bom trabalho
Beijos
Teresa

Olá Fernando,
O mar... fonte inesgostável de inspiração, bem representado nesta sua foto. Gosto muito das cores fortes que captou.
Um abraço.
Paulo

singuanti (15250) 2006-02-27 22:28

Hi Fernando. Congrats on #199 and we patiently await your #200. The tilt spices things up and adds a lot of dynamics. You've got good contrasts via the silhouette. Nice shot!!

alford (4063) 2006-02-28 2:37

Hi Fernando! Looks like you've been bitten by the "tilt" bug! Did you really tilt did intentionally or were you falling from the boat when you took this? :) Nice experiment though, it makes the waves look stronger! rgds!

alvaraalto (42280) 2006-02-28 3:48

Hi Fernando,
I thought I saw yesterday in a glimpse your 200th picture. I’m I wrong or did you miscount? (I noticed Papagolf 500 – Galmeida 200 – funny) Anyway well chosen tilting here. This give a lot of movement and schwung to the picture and makes it much more exiting. You feel like you are in the boat by yourself.
Groet Rob

papagolf21 (152599) 2006-02-28 4:14

Bonsoir mon ami Fernando,
J'aime ce tilt, cela donne l'impression d'être à l'intérieur du bateau et de ressentir le mouvement des vagues. J'apprécie toujours autant votre façon de présenter les images en atelier, elles pourraient faire l'objet également de publication.
Merci pour vos notes également toujours très riches et pertinentes.
Amitiés.
Philippe

riclopes (35577) 2006-02-28 4:44

Olá Fernando,
Um tilt artístico a preparar a 200th. Muito bem. Cada vez aprecio mais os trabalhos fora do convencional com assinatura. De vez em quando sabe bem!
Aqui resulta muito bem, como se o peso da ilha rochosa fosse demasiado, obrigando a espuma a subir do lado fireito. Gosto muito do aspecto brilhante e atractivo da água e daquele salpico a meio da composição. A espuma, ligeiramente sobreexposta joga bem com a solução e o DIDI fez um bom trabalho de ws. Tenho tanto para aprender...
Bom trabalho e obrigado pela sua partilha fantástica no TE!
Um abraço,
Ricardo

ChrisJ (160036) 2006-02-28 5:13

Ola Fernando

You must be saving 200 for something special? Not a shot for those who suffer easily from seasickness. The tilt is okay here, as it adds context. Parabens & obrigado!

Amirsun (2122) 2006-02-28 5:27

Hi Fernando!
Very nice shot with good idea for this angled composition, well seen and well composed.
Tanks for posting.
Regards, Amir

efigesta (12188) 2006-02-28 5:42

Ola meu amigo

Ja 199 fotos? e todas com a qualidade de fernando e esta é mais uma que não me canso de dizer que representa bem o nosso mar e as coisas boas que temos, bom pov e boas cores
obrigado amigo
manuel

jhm (203039) 2006-02-28 6:32

Dear Fernando,
Indeed you have to as a artwork, maybe unusual picture of you, but I appreciate your experimental image, I like the contrast in these picture, and certainly the different link in your interesting note.
Have a nice day,
John.

jmdaoudal (82) 2006-02-28 6:40

Hi Fernando,
Thanks for citation, and be sure that it is a shared pleasure to be on the site in contact with you.
True its been a long time we share here and have talked about a lot of thing from photogtraphy or other subjects, and this will go.
The composition, as usual When I have time I try to critique with the subject, the artistic and the technical point if it is a technique I make myself works, and of course here this is Tiltizm and the famous Theme from Zepi.
Won't develop about the subject I like much from Azores, for sure we will go there once in our life after visiting with you and portuguese or American photographers. For the tilt this is a difficult technique that has not yet any theory but only what the eye can appreciate, and here I would say the Tilt with a Human subject is easy as you use the person as an Axis in the frame, and for a landscapre very difficult because you have with this principle to find this axis and and project. So here for Balance I would say the Rocks is a bit to important and High and the seascape not enought projected in perspective...
So the construction in looking like this is a bit flat and not enough perspectived. But this is My POV and I am the only Theorician in the world for this :-)))
Friendly
Jean Michel

Hello Fernando,
Interesting experiment,-a tilted landscape.A good action shot anyway with those strong waves from the boat.
Greetings,
Hermann

feather (51130) 2006-02-28 7:10

The use of the tilt here could be an analogy for your motion on a rough sea. What I really like about this is the little triangle wave near the centre. I await #200.

Hi Fernando,
nice tilt composition, interesting view in motion, nice colours and superb sharpness. Good work.
Rgs, Aleksander

fverde (1699) 2006-02-28 14:25

Olá Fernando!
Tal como eu, o mar é para si uma paixão... Gosto muito desta sua abordagem com uma composição simples, mas muito bonita. A inclinação exagerada mas propositada da linha do horizonte torna a imagem mais dinâmica e interessante. Um regra básica que valeu a pena quebrar. As cores do mar e do céu acrescentam o resto. Um abraço amigo e votos de um óptimo Carnaval!
Fernando.

cjmm (4479) 2006-02-28 15:12

Hi Fernando,

You got an interesting result by tilting the image; it produced a visually attractive photo.

The sharpness is very good.

And well, now I expect some special celebration for your 200th!!!

Best regards, un abrazo,
Carlos

Hello my friend,

[joke one] your photograph strongly leans, then I propose a WS to you to rectify the horizon. [/joke off]

Very good idea to have instigated the photograph by leaning voluntarily the camera, in more the clapot of the wake of the boat adds the key final of this superb photograph.

Very beautiful creation, abraço, Armandino.

john_c (24666) 2006-02-28 16:58

Hi Fernando,
I agree with Bert's comments that this has a bit of abstract quality to it. I like your tilt and the dynamics with the foaming water. One feels as if one is careening along on some wild ride with the spray in the eyes....Very well done.
John

supereira (9576) 2006-03-01 5:34

Gosto da inclinaçãqo da foto.Bom contraste entre as rochas e o mar.O céu esta excelente.Boas cores,luminosidade e nitidez.Bom trabalho!

jemaflor (135448) 2006-03-01 6:46

Hi Fernando,
Well done this tilt to give a dynamic effect as the waves ... and to give perhaps sea seek ;-))
Thanks for your attention in your note.
Regards.
Jean.

kent_s (1911) 2006-03-01 7:12

Hi Fernando
Ok nr 199 is a rough sea in a slope what will 200 be we can't wait.

Well done
Hälsningar
Kent

dsidwell (9783) 2006-03-01 10:25

One of the things I like about this photo is that sharp wave right in the middle. It makes the tilt work, because it adds a kind of "edgy" mood to the image. Nice work and fun experiment, Fernando!

HNIK (1104) 2006-03-02 2:54

Hello Fernando!
Sorry for my absence...this is another great shot with very interesting framing,the wave that goes down to the rock,great work with nice colors(especial blue)
Best Regards

AiresSantos (56155) 2006-03-02 5:17

Ola Amigo Fernando.
Esta foto é diferente pela inclinação, simples mas de grande beleza.
A cor e o POV estão excelentes.
Um abraço,
Aires

FORJP001 (3819) 2006-03-02 9:52

Hi Fernando,

Your workshop is well appreciated; It contains additional informations on this lovely place.

Here the photopgrapher succeeded in puzzeling the viewer. The horizon line is not at level, and the sea is calm. Photographer succeeded in giving the illusion of a lot of surge and pitching in a calm sea.

Jean-Pierre

P.S. 199 posting pictures is quite an achievement...Congratulations

aznegrao (10316) 2006-03-06 13:32

Eu tambem gosto de ousar. Nesse caso o horizonte inclinado criou dinamismo, alem de um toque surreal a bela composição.
Abraços.
Amigo.

Giorgio (11279) 2006-03-16 6:43

- good tilt for this beautiful image, well done and cheers !
