Sportiv Deep Ocean&Azores Beauties Photo

Photographer’s Note

This actual Post is dedicated to the "Week of the Sea at Azores" moments that have in a transport from Pico Island and Fayal near Horta at the end of day.

To all my friendly TE Members that are asking me to post another of these Islands I show and DEDICATE a sportiv moment and Deep Ocean and Jet Sky approaching by a boat shot camera by me and here is one more that I took some other ones to post in future. So, your nice request and my CONTRIBUTION.

At August month and specially at the second week there are many nautic events and popular tradition festivities in the town, that you can see in this post with a sportiv international activity when I was arriving by boat from Pico to Horta and also in my Travelogue and Portfolio from by other previous posts that you can see in my left info of the page.

If you want to see the Local where I took this picture I give a Google Map with a reference CAMERA ICON here: Link

In my Photo Information YOU have two WS-Workshops that are complementary or near views and are also good important ways of comunicate and share Info that you must see also because they are important as a reference. One first moment is here: Link and the second post here: Link

IMPORTANT COMPLEMENTARY Notes and Information that you can See here: ISO=80, Focal Lenght=27mm with HUe by one step and Neatinage in the sky for a better result after reduction post to TE.

The weather was a mist of nice beuatiful sky and the time was 2 hours near sunset. The sunrays at my 180 degrees backwards.

These beautiful Islands are located in the vast Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America. Fayal and Pico are part of the five Central Islands, that are visited all the year for several thousand of tourists and sea navigators from all the world. It's like a world Sea and Water Network Comunication.

NOTE: This Travel Serie is particular to these Atlantic Islands with harmonious mountains, sea scenery, walles and dolphins, cows with milk and excelent cheese for all the world, great wonderfull volcanic sceneries and nature and I will try to catalog in different selective ways to post.

These 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 the best for you all.

Fernando

weswang (18223) 2006-02-25 13:16

Hi Fernando, A nice catch of the dynamics of the wave and the jet. Good to show the trajectory of the jet. Beautiful horizon line and the diagonal waves. The coastline has added a nice background to the fun scene.

Hello Fernando,
Beautiful islands indeed and a great action shot with good timing.I like especially the wide range of blue tones here.Well composed to with that diagonal line of the wave.

pablominto (41398) 2006-02-25 13:28

Hi Fernando...
An awesome surf and some fine action captured!
Beautiful lines in your composition, quite dynamic even without the jetski... Very pleasant inclusion of the coastline!
Nice work again, my friend!
Greetings,
Pablo -

TeresaT (10733) 2006-02-25 13:28

Olá amigo Fernando.
Mais uma excelente imagem...com o de costume...esta numa outra vertente ..a desportiva.
Gostei da forma como enquadrou o motonauta, pois assim pode ver-se o rasto que ele foi deixando na água...e dá a impressão de que ele vai saltar para fora da imagem.
Gostei muito.
Beijos
Teresa

Bonsoir Fernando
j'aime beaucoup cette photo très dynamique. La lumière est excellente et le cadrage décentré est bien vu
Bravo, belle réalisation
Xavier

singuanti (15240) 2006-02-25 22:24

Hi Fernando. Wow did you hit the shutter at the perfect time or what. This is such a dynamic and fun shot. The faster shutter speed was just the ticket for stopping the action so crisply. Nice catch Fernando!

jmdaoudal (82) 2006-02-26 1:38

Sportive moment from Azores, well done with colors and quality, I am not very found of this sport, because here in summer it make a lot of noise on the quiet sea and around MY islands :-))) But I must admit it is spectacular.

Graal (58786) 2006-02-26 3:04

Hi Fernando,
interesting view, dynamic shot and scene. I like the composition and colours. Good captured and well done.
Rgs, Aleksander

Vato_Law (11696) 2006-02-26 4:14

Olá Fernando,
Bom enquadramento do sujeito na imagem, boas cores e luminosidade.
Gostei desta sua nova vertente, a desportiva.
Parabens.
Um abraço.
Paulo
P.S.: Com tanta inspiração a escrever as notas introdutórias nunca pensou em publicar um livro com estas suas fotos e notas? é que realmente são tão completas que qualquer dia vou ler primeiro as notas e depois tentar adivinhar a foto que lá encaixaria :-)

markstaples (15670) 2006-02-26 5:02

Hi Fernando
A great action shot ... a lovely diagonal leads us to the jet-skier. The shot is also nice and sharp and has great colours. Very well done.
Best wishes
Mark

ChrisJ (70443) 2006-02-26 5:15

Ola Fernando

A superb decisive moment shot, of the jet skier, with excellent sharpness & color. I also like the lighting & contrast. Parabens & obrigado!

feather (50168) 2006-02-26 5:26

Wonderful catch with the jetskier in flight. The lead-in line from the edge of the foam leads our eye right to him. Very well chosen shutter speed to freeze the motion.
Kath

riclopes (33135) 2006-02-26 5:26

Bom dia Fernando,
Adoro esta série das motas de água! Mais outra excelente captura com a mota no ar, após ultrapassar mais uma 'lomba'.
A composição está muito bem conseguida, com a agradável diagonal da espuma ao encontro da cena e a vista do rasto do 'artísta' em direcção à silhueta da ilha lá atrás. Fabulosa qualidade de imagem e duas espectaculares imagens de complemento em ws. Muitos parabéns!
Um abraço amigo e bom resto de fim de semana chuvoso (é desagradável para o Carnaval, mas também faz falta...),
Ricardo

jinju (14265) 2006-02-26 5:35

Hey Fernando. great action pic. You got him nicely to the side (though would be better if he was going the other way) and the scenery is magnificent. Lovely bluecolors too.

jhm (83378) 2006-02-26 5:46

Hi Fernando,
Splendid moment for take this wonderful shot, excellent capture with the jet high above the water, also the of course the track in the calm sea he left behind.
Good composition too!
Best regards,
John.

efigesta (12181) 2006-02-26 6:07

Hi Fernando,
Strong picture back to the Azores.
The deep blue color of the ocean is impressive; nice composition.
Thanmks and regards, gerrit

carper (65742) 2006-02-26 8:12

wauw what a capture my friend,
a very nice shot from a fantastic sea and a well taken composition, it's jumping almost out the picture, very good job.
gr. jaap

Emile (20151) 2006-02-26 10:09

Hola Fernando.
This is really what we call a decisive moment, the man jumping in the air while you catch this great shot. Very good colours and sharpness and the white foam on the wave give you a nice contrast. Good lighting and composition.
Well done.

wilkinsonsg (8646) 2006-02-26 10:23

Interesting POV - is this a crop? - it just seems that a little detail is lost on the sea.

john_c (24635) 2006-02-26 11:02

Hi Fernando,
A dynamic, crisp and clear shot. This action scene is portrayed with drama, as the wall of white waves angles in a tempestuous line with the sportsman and his craft well seen in an ideal location in the frame. I like the contrast between the foamy water and the deep rich blue hues beyond. An inspiring and skilfully captured shot.
John

dsidwell (9745) 2006-02-26 12:38

Very nice action capture, Fernando! by putting him almost leaving the photo, it gives a feeling that you can't control him, and makes the capture seem even more exciting!

alvaraalto (5303) 2006-02-26 13:12

Hi Fernando,
Super blue picture. The composition is marvellous. The meeting of the water-scooter and the waves is thrilling. Excellent work.
Groet Rob

faubry (32429) 2006-02-26 13:33

hello Fernando, this shot is very dynamic and a lot action, we can see the foam line of the scooter.
very beautiful blue colors, i like your shot but i should have prefered the scooter on the left side... what do you think about it?
soon
thanks
francine

papagolf21 (56765) 2006-02-26 16:50

Bonsoir Fernando,
Une très bonne photo de sport nautique. La lumière est parfaite, les couleurs très bien rendues, le sillage du bateau sur lequel surfe le scooter des mers est un régal.
Très bonne prise de vue.
Amitiés.
Philippe

huynt (5077) 2006-02-26 20:54

Hi Fernando
Wow an interesting active shot. I like the white waves. Huy

barrufeto_77 (25943) 2006-02-27 1:10

Hi Fernando.

Nice composition. I like how you show us on the right side the "estress" of the sportman and on the left side the calm & peace of the coast.

Great colours too.

REgards, Oscar

supereira (9576) 2006-02-27 6:48

Boa composição e do ponto de vista.Gosto do detalhe do homem com a mota de agua.Excelentes cores,luminosidade e nitidez.Excelente atmosfera.Bom trabalho!

jemaflor (39759) 2006-02-27 7:22

Hi Fernando,
very well composed with two parts, interesting dynamic effect, congratulation.

AiresSantos (42964) 2006-02-27 8:21

Another excellent capture of the Azores islands. Beauty and dynamism in the landscape. Perfect sharpness, depth and colors.
Thanks and greetings my friend,
Aires

fverde (1699) 2006-02-27 9:11

Olá Fernando!
Mais uma excelente foto da série dedicada aos Açores, aqui numa vertente ainda não explorada: os desportos náuticos. A sensação de movimento é fantástica, com um enquadramento muito bem conseguido, dando a impressão que a mota de água quer sair da própria foto... Óptimo POV, com o rasto da água (que eu imagino resulta do movimento do barco em que seguia) a resultar num efeito visual impressionante e a conferir maior dinamismo à imagem. Venham mais fotos como esta, é um prazer para os olhos. Abraço!
Fernando.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2006-02-27 9:38

great work here, I like the moment captured here, very good timing, well done

jafadabret (40369) 2006-02-27 10:39

Bonjour, Fernando.
La vague du premier plan donne du relief au cliché et nous amène au sportif sur son embarcation. Le reste de la photo fait un très beau décor avec de belles couleurs.
Bien fait !
Jacques

fabio_ts (13674) 2006-02-28 3:31

Fantastic action shot Fernando, I like a lot how you have composed it with the sea-bikers on the extremly right side... well done my friend, compliments!!

happy week,
Fabio.

Giorgio (8776) 2006-03-01 2:09

- Beautiful very dynamic image, I like the unusual off-centring of the subject, well considering! giorgio

pitai (3925) 2006-03-01 6:59

Ola Fernando surpreende a excelente definição desta imagem. cores, texturas e a profundidade estão insuperaveis. eu so acho que o moto de agua ficava melhor um bocadinho mais centrado. Do resto tudo bem. impecável como sempre. um abraço, Gabriel

DLM (6447) 2006-03-01 16:33

Great action shot fernando with great POV,nice and sharp too,TFS
Dave.

apazevedo (5469) 2006-03-01 18:13

Mais um pouco e a moto de água desaparecia de cena, Fernando :-)
Não, agora a sério: esta imagem está excelente, extremamente dinâmica. A diagonal provocada pela espuma e o trajecto serpenteante da moto, visível no mar, bem como a excelente definição e contraste, fazem desta uma bela imagem, muito bonita, mesmo!

PJE (19533) 2006-03-03 19:56

Very dynamic framing the action of waves in thirds in this frame. Very nicely done my friend. A real treat to see this activity.

aloyho (6109) 2006-03-05 7:43

Hi Fernando,
This composition is superb and full of energy. I love the way you let the skier break the horizon and there is so much tension by placing him so near to the frame. While the background looks quiet , the foreground is active and exciting. A well balanced shot and excellent POV. Congratulations!! Have a pleasant weekend.
