Walk in the Park, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Two months after I've bought the tobacco filter, I've finally found some time to try it and here is one of those. Hope you like it.
This was taken in Park of the Nations and we can see the Vasco da Gama Bridge, the Atlantic Pavillion and Vasco da Gama Tower.

Hello Paulo,
Beautiful mix between the two parts of the picture and wonderful contrast between the textures and the colour of the wooden surface of the bridge and the clouded sky.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Paulo,

Nice effect achieved with the filter, seems to add a warmth to the clouds in particular. I like the way you have used the bridge to lead the eye into the image.Great details too.TFS

Oi amigo ,
O céu ficou magnifico como eu gosto o filtro deu um ar bem dramático as texturas das nuvens se destacam na paisagem , gostei muito do corredor de madeira quase com tons pretos e brancos , bom enquadramento da foto,parabéns pelo uso do filtro :)

Um abraço Gonçalo

P.S. -adicionei a foto ao meu tema

uma bonita vista desse parque mesmo, e ficou interessante nessa imagem o uso do filtro, tão usado pelo Gonçalo. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

Ciao Paulo, I do not specially like the filters, as I prefer natural colours, but I find this try of your new toy very attractive. Very interesting composition so rich in details. Splendid place.

Oi Gonçalo!

Longroute (19600) 2010-03-17 4:37

Olà Paulo,

you are showing us a great composition here!
The perspective give by this bridge is really interesting and fine and the sky is incredibly dramatic and effective. The solitari man is quite good in giving the human scale and a fine focal point. The tobacco filter gave you a pleasant atmosphere, as if a thunderstorm was arriving.
An excellent work.
Compliments,
Donato

hardyuno (4652) 2010-03-17 10:32

Hello Paulo,
the color of the filter is used to, but the contrasts are interesting and well-lifted out.
But the POV, sharpness and depth is really outstanding good. Obrigado
Saudações

Olá Paulo.
Gosto bastante.
Está tudo bastante nítido como já nos habituaste e a composição é muito interessante tendo em conta que tanto o passeio de madeira como a linha do teleférico criam a sensação de profundidade.
O filtro está aprovado!

Tudo de bom,
Márcio Costa

jhm (202823) 2010-03-19 4:53

Hello Paulo,

The pier care for perspective and depth.
We see almost an extraordinarily sky, the colors speaks itself .
I like the clarity and the sharpness of the image with the texture of it to have captured perfect
Composition and presentation are very well. TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Excelente utilização do filtro tabaco
O POV esta óptimo. A foto quase parece a preto e branco no primeiro plano. Este lugar presta-se a fotos magnificas como esta aqui
Um abraço e bom fim de semana

Hi Paulo, Great depth and great sharpness, Fascinating patterns created by the woodwork on the path. There are so many interesting little images in this whole picture that just makes it fascinating. Well done and good information. Have a great Sunday Ricx

belido (19934) 2010-03-22 4:48

Olá Paulo,

ficou interessante com o uso do filtro. Traz todo um dramatismo à cena. A inclusão do senhor traz senso de dimensão e o formato em panorama cai bem. Muito boa luz e nitidez. Parabéns!
Abraço,

Olá!
Uma foto que faz lembrar as do Gonçalo Bluejeans. Geralmente não gosto muito de filtros destes, mas reconheço que ficou um efeito interessante, possivelmente ajudado por aquelas nuvens monumentais. Bonita perspectiva da passadeira ou ponte de peões.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

s_lush (16602) 2010-03-29 9:03

Hello Paulo,
Although the color palette is slightly shifted in this nice image, the contrast and reproducing of 3D objects, in particular clouds, look very naturally here. As a result of this the lines and volumes are marvelous in the shot. Extremely well done!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hola Paulo.
Hi Paulo.
Very nice composition, the Gateway creates a good depth to the image, an area very modern and very attractive, the sky is too hard, I think through a filter. Superb picture quality and good management of light. Well done.
Have a nice weekend.
Best regards.
Luis.

maloutim (13617) 2010-04-11 11:42

Hi Paulo!
I love the contrast between the grey bottom part and the pink dramatic sky!
The Vasco da Gama bridge adds some elegance and interesting depth to the picture!
Are the cable-cars there to have a ride and enjoy the view over the Bay?
Thanks for sharing!
Kind regards.
Marie Louise.

Hi Paulo,
I must say I like the tobacco filter. The effect is very interesting. You have used it very smartly here.
The sky got enhanced and received more color, the foreground was emphasized. The bridge makes plenty of nice geometric shapes.
Very well seen and caught,
M

foibles3 (1479) 2011-02-24 12:28

This is a very striking image! The sky is an direct contrast to the pale planking of the deck. Your composition takes the viewer deep into the shot.
Cheers!
David

kiks (12805) 2011-06-05 14:04

Hello Paulo, the tobaco filter that you use gives a lovely mood to the landschape specialy in combimation with the grey pier.
