Deep Blue Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Shot at dawn, about 15m before sunrise from one of the most famous beaches in Algarve, Praia do Alemão (German's Beach) in Portimão. I was expecting one much more colourfull sunrise but since the clouds decided not to willing me and did not permit the sun to rise with all its esplendour I decided to try and capture that rich deep blue from the waters in combination with those soft colours from the sky.
Tell me what you think, thanks!

Olá Joao,

This is a very clever photograph. It must have been virtually dark considering you had to use a shutter speed of 30 seconds. There is a surrealistic atmosphere in the photo. You've done very well. Bravo!

Um abraço,

Bulent

A exuberância conta muito no TE João. Tem que ser por isso que esta foto tem apenas 6 pontos.
Apresentas-nos um ambiente soturno e calmo, muito introspectivo. A tonalidade dominante azul daquela hora ajuda a este ambiente, quebrado apenas pelo suave rosa do nascer do sol. Tb a composição simples é coerente com o conjunto.
Dava uma boa capa de livro ou cd.

Abraço.
