[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This one is another return to S.Miguel Island at May 2005 with my "WZ" camera from a high point of view and with a fantastic weather Vivaldi Simphony atmosphere that I hope you like and also in a day that you can pass by holidays or in work, have also this similar or better moment and view. This is taken in the most important administration Island that belongs to the Eastern inland face of this wonderful archipel of nine islands situated in the vast Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America.

This is a shot to RIBEIRA GRANDE a town very near the capital PONTA DELGADA but in this angle side and in a weather multi-faceted condition with a approach view to the North surroundings of this Island.

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

CRISTINA very well kwown here by the TE nickname SNUGGLEAPHAGUS, that was also born here, says about S.Miguel and Azores Islands: The Atmosphere and Colors are equal and transcribe the reallity of this local and natural ambience. In any island of Azores you have a raining momment at 12h00, sunny day at 12h15, haze time at 12h45 and possible a great rainbow to make a picture later after 12h59. I add to her words the scenery allways present with the Vivaldi eye catch sky and ground nature.

INFORMATION LINKS: Here YOU have another mood atmosphere in another day in the other side of the Island and for a better information you can see here: Link

Also YOU will see a complementray scenery in my Workshop work, that you must see or my Travelogue Information link in the left of this post page.

This is a natural and preserved Island that have many people linked to United States, Canada, North Europe ans also naturally to Continental Portugal.

Aditional Information: ISO=80, Focal Lenght=72mm and filtered by Neatimage with Sharpness by 25% after a samll touch of Hue and Saturation. It's difficult to shot here in this Vivaldi simphonic contrast but I tried my best to show you many details of this Atlantic Pearl.

I hope that You like this approach from a point of knowledge, culture, voyage, share ideas, people and moments in life.

The best to you all and Thanks for sharing.
Fernando

Hi Fernando,
Again a very beautiful panorama view of you, the misty background give a specially atmosphere, splendid air picture with the coast line and curvings.
Very well done my friend.
My PC is back.
Best regards,
John

Hi Fernando, I like the PoV in this picture. The sunlight through the cloud made a good highlight and contrast along the rolling hills and the coastline. A nice shot of the beautiful scenery.

Nice niew, very sharp, with a nice luminosity. Your composition is great. A good work!

Excelente Fernando!
Gosto muito de ver esta espectacular vista, já conhecida de posts anteriores, "entalada" entre a sombra escura e a paisagem em 1º plano escurecida por ela. Excelentes cores e equilíbrio da luminosidade. A atmosfera dada pela 'pesada' nuvem é de forte intensidade. Quase que diria que está a apanhar uma chuvada, ou em vias disso. Desta vez decidiu deixar o corrimão de fora e acho que fez muito bem. Parabéns por mais um excelente trabalho e muito obrigado pela partilha!
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo

Excellente vue Fernando. Très impressionant et félicitations pour la netteté. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs des collines. Bravo

Wow - the mix of ligth and a very special landscape seen from a high viewpoint attracks my eyes - the hills i lower right corner becomes extra visuable at the border of sunlight - thanks Fernando for a very fine job and as usual great informative note.

Fernando I love the details and the upper and lower enquadrement in this photo. A lovely landscape capture when the sun shines through the clouds like this. I think the dark clouds above really add to the drama and create the dark shadows on the land as well. The scene is nicely balanced in this frame too. A very rewarding photo for viewing! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Fernando. I like how our eyes can follow the zigzags of the coastline. That's a bit of a shame about the clarity in the distance but that's beyond your control. tfs Fernando.

Hi Fernando.

Excelent landscape!!! Superb view! The contrast land-sea is lovely and the clouds on the top is another great point.

Bonjour mon ami Fernando,
La vue est tout simplement superbe, un panorama qui comble le regard. J'ai l'impression d'être à bord d'un avion et d'admirer le paysage à travers un hublot.
Comme d'habitude, vous présentez avec talent vos photographies.
Félicitations pour ce partage.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Great view Fernando, I like a lot how the pcture is framed by the cloud and its shadow, nice work, compliments!!

have a nice week end,
Fabio.

Fernando, belle composition de ce paysage qui se perd dans les brumes du lointain. J'aime le vert des collines bien éclairées du premier plan. Beau cliché !

Hi Fernando,
A superb panorama view of this verdant landscape. The foreground lushness of rich fields and pastures contrasts well with the flatter, more built up areas below. I like the great mood of the sky here and the play of light and shadows. A wonderful capture, Fernando. This is a keeper.

fantastic view fernando,
well, I like the view it's from a good quality, nice point of view, great depth, good composition, well done my friend.

What a lot of detail to behold in this view. We can see the waves crashing and teh fields and buildings. Interesting how the dark clouds at the top are balanced by the shade at the bottom.
Kath

Olá Amigo Fernando
Excelente sinfonia de cores captada nesta excelente imagem aérea da Ilha de São Miguel.
Emobra faça referência às 4 Estaçoes de Vivaldi,...eu quando olho para esta imagem só me lembro do Adágio de ALbinoni...talvez pelo dramatismo das nuvens no cèu.
De qualquer forma é uma excelente imagem.
Obrigada por partilhar estas excelentes visões do nosso País.
um Beijo
Teresa

Hi Fernando,
Very nive POV, interesting frame with grey sky on the top and dark bottom, just a little detail, your photo seems to tilt a bit if one looks at the sea horizon.

Beautiful view Fernando, the clouds and the mixt of shadows and sunlight creates a very nice mood and the great depth emphasis this gorgeous view, well seen and composed.
Have a great week end, happiness.

A large amount of climate variation here - well seen and acted upon :)

boa foto com contrastes interesante e uma boa paisagem bem definida

abraço

Olá Fernando!
Tenho a certeza que Vivaldi se inspirou nos cenários paradisíacos das ilhas açorianas quando compôs a partitura das "Quatro Estações". Num relance, podemos encontrá-las todas nesta imagem deslumbrante que nos apresenta. Os contrastes fortes entre a luz e as sombras, o azul forte do mar, as núvens escuras que carregam o céu... uma imagem do Paraíso. Continue postando os postais ilustrados que registou nos Açores. Sou fã incondicional... Um abraço amigo e votos de óptimo fim de semana.
Fernando.

Hi Fernando...
What first hits my eye here is the surf! Beautiful ladscape captured in several layers... Awesome green... green... green..! Your POV really makes this one, all together a very pleasant photograph!

Olà Fernando
Very nice landscape with this dramatic sky; I note a good control of the exposure between shades and Highlights.
Obrigado

I love this one, Fernando. You got great light and the color of the green is so beautiful, especially when there's sun on it. The line of the coast works well, and the white water of the waves is nice. The sky is nice and threatening.
Very nice view!

An impressive landscape shot Fernando. I like the patterns of sunlight and the heavy cloud cover. Nice outline of the shoreline too. Good perspective and composition. Well done.
Aubrey

Hi Fernando

What a view, Fernando! Beautiful colours, the landscape looks like a fine patchwork :) I like the shadows cast by the overhanging clouds. So detailed...so much to look at :) Congrats!

My best regards to you :)

Hello Fernando,
Your notes are always so good and so very informative. And i love this shot...one of my favourites. I dont understand for the life of me as to where you were standing when you took this shot. On top of a mountain? I wish i can take some like this.
Very well shot with a great POV. Love theway the clouds hang on top providing a canopy for the entire landscape.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Fernando - fabuluous overview, the gentle slopes, cliffs and stormy clouds combine to make a wonderful image, this landscape reminds me of the Hawaiian islands seen from the air, greetings from Yemen.

Great result,excellent sharpness and details,a perfect panorama and nice to see it so very high,a great aerial POV,nicely worked.Thank you,Fernando
Regards
Isabela

Magnifica paisagem. As tonalidades e a quantidade de detalhes interessantes apenas confirmam que os Açores merecem bem uma viagem. Os recortes da costa devem proporcionar excelentes fotos de longa exposição ao inicio da noite.

Hej Fernando,
A breathtaking view over this area! The play of light and shadow on the fields is very nice and I also like the low clouds. Great picture, well captured!

Lars

Olá Fernando! Mais uma bela imagem para juntar à sua colecção :-)
Bela panorâmica com óptimo ponto de vista e cores. Gosto muito do "serpentear" da costa, do verde espectacular e do grande campo de visão, das zonas de sombra e luz. Gostei também muito de rever a outro foto que referiu no link da nota introdutória, excelente trabalho!

Realmente sãouma delícia estas paisagens de verde e azul. Ficou magnífica esta cor e a profundidade do horizonte.

- Very Beautiful panorama, fantastic aerial POV, congratulations for all !
