Where is the end ?, a photo from Lisboa, South

Photographer's Note

Hello friends,
Photo of the natural park Sintra Cascais beautiful this time of year because the flowers, this walkway through this area of dunes on the other side there is a campsite, but I was right here on this day was very hot sun about 30 degrees.

Good weekend

Natural Park Sintra Cascais

The Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais was created in March of 1994, and includes the area parallel to the coastal stretch from Cidadela in Cascais to the River Falcão, and the Sintra Mountain Range to the agricultural area in Colares.
The main purpose of this Park is to keep safe the fauna and flora of this blessed region.
The Park is divided in two distinct zones: the agricultural zone that produces especially fruit and wine, and the coastal zone, with its beautiful beaches, cliffs and dunes.
The Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais presents an amazing diversity of environments and landscapes, including dunes, forests, ponds, a beautiful coastline with sculpted rocky cliffs that put together astonishing beaches, the imposing westernmost point of the European continent Cabo da Roca, and, in the centre, the magnificent Sintra’s Mountain Range and all the area classified by the UNESCO as World’s Heritage.
In the territory of the Park diverse species of oaks prosper, as well as eucalyptus and pine trees and all the exuberant vegetation of Sintra’s mountain range.
The Park’s Fauna is also very diversified, and one can easily come across birds of prey such as falcons, owls or hawks and also maritime birds like seagulls and Procellariidae, several reptiles and amphibious species like salamanders and toads, and, of course, a great variety of mammals, such as vixens, moles and hedgehogs.
The Park is located next to the huge Lisbon metropolis, and amazingly, it has been able to preserve all the compelling territory of the westernmost point of the European continent and to harmoniously coexist with Nature and the human presence in a territory so looked-for construction, that has been suffering over the years a demolishing economical and technical evolution.

hello Goncalo
maybe there is no end, and this path leads until the end of the world.The perspective is so impressive that this is we could think.I like the shadows of the poles very much, and also the deep blue of the sky.

Hello Gonçalo,
A l,ong way to walk with no shade and 30 degrees. But the seemingly endless walkway has given the composition tremendous depth and the very dark blue sky and the sharp shadow of the railings tell us something of the heat.
Best regards,
Gert

NOTA Cuando puedas mira mi foto de Uruguay, es muy similar a esta

emka (58194) 2012-05-12 17:15

Ola, it seems this pathway has no end at all. You can walk, and walk, to the end of the world which is not so far, in Cabo da Roca. Spectacular shot, the depth is awesome. Excellent composition.

Sabbia Atlantica e camminamento tra le dune .
La natura crea luoghi da sogno ed il fotografo li condivide.
Senso del "senza tempo" e di spazio.

Ola Goncalo,

A splendid pov where all lines, including the shadows, lead to the horizon. Good light and a fine sense of perspective.
I might have been tempted to crop the sky a little to move the horizon from the centre.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Ola dear Goncalo

Such wonderful parkland, so untouched and uncontaminated. I love the vertical frame, the strong blue and white tones and of course the impressive perspective created by the vertical frame, the large foreground and the wide-angle lens. Thanks for sharing, have a beautiful day. Parabens.

Um abraco
Lisa

Trademark blue sky and a great pov/composition. No building in sight for once, pure natural beauty. This looks like an inviting walkway to follow.

Hi Goncalo,

The wooden walkway is sending my eye to infinity which is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and color of this area of the park. The late afternoon light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

josepmarin (55063) 2012-05-15 0:48

Olá, amigo Gonçalo,
buen título para esta foto, porque evidentemente la pasarela de madera parece interminable, y se pierde entre las dunas al fondo de la imagen.
Me gusta la perspectiva de la pasarela, su ubicación simétrica en el encuadre, y el grafismo que nos ofrece.
La luz y los colores están a un gran nivel de calidad.
Es una bella foto.
Um abraço,
Josep

jlbrthnn (79773) 2012-05-15 3:18

Hola Gonzalo,
De hecho, este paseo es casi interminable. La imagen nítida es, obviamente, muy profundo. La luz está bien controlada, y los colores son naturales. Bravo.
Buenos días
Amicalement
Joël

jmdias (45820) 2012-05-15 7:22

gonçalo

bom uso das diagonais aqui. gosto do contraste entre o céu e a parte baixa da compo. a textura das nuvens estava interessante. linda foto, bem feita.
PS: estou testando minha câmera nova, vamos ver se não me decepciono com ela. haha

abraços

Witaj Goncalo!
Przyjemna kompozycja.

Dobre kolory i ¶wiat³o.

kato (6789) 2012-05-15 17:03

Hello Goncalo,

You're capturing well this scape by a good perspective, a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the wooden walkway straightly extended between sand hills. It's good at color contrast for the ground/walkway and the blue sky, too. And, it's effective for the reflection of rope and stake projected to the walkway.
Have a nice day.

Kind regards,
mikio

mohammad_H (6600) 2012-05-15 23:28

Stunning DOF combined with your POV has created art with calming expressionism. Superb detail to color saturation and light management with beautiful clarity. Most Excellent Job Goncalo!!

TFS..............Your Friend from California..............Buddy

ikeharel (37378) 2012-05-17 2:02

Ola Goncalo,
Fine depth along the wooden trail, all the way till far horizon.
I'd crop most of the sky's space on upper part of the image, but this is only my preferences. The dunes covered with nice typical sea-shore vegetation.
Bom dia
Ike

adramad (27556) 2012-05-17 9:13

Hola Gonçalo.
Que fabulosa perspectiva la de esta imagen, ciertamente la pasarela parece no tener fin, muy bonito contraste con ese intenso azul del cielo y los campos arenosos cubiertos de hierba de forma alterna.
Muy buena la gestion de la luminosidad, con una optima nitidez.
Original y magnifica imagen.
Pasa un buen dia.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

eldancer1 (17088) 2012-05-18 9:03

Good question! And nicely presented solution. Very nice capture and good composition of the lines ending to the middle of the picture. Great lighting and good details. Wonderful colors with good saturation. Well done, tfs.

ChrisJ (86902) 2012-05-18 21:06

Olá Gonçalo

A classic textbook illustration of how to use diminishing linear perspective & vanishing point. Good sharpness & nice density with punchy light contrasts & superb color saturation. Parabens!

jhm (122474) 2012-05-19 0:48

Hello Gonçalo,

Perfect choice of your angle, this gives a lot depth and perspective.
