Photographer’s Note

Sintra

Classified for UNESCO as Landscape Cultural and Património of the Humanity - during 19ª Session of the Comité of UNESCO, occured in Berlin the 6 of December of 1995 -, Sintra is one of those magical places where the nature and the man if had conjugated in a perfect symbiosis, as that to want to leave surprised us, relieved to the beauty of the workmanship. Certification of the ticket of many peoples and cultures to the long one of the times, that they had always known to respect the vestiges that the others had left, the expression that better classifies Sintra in its all is, for certain, the cultural tolerance

Oi, Gonçalo
Ficou bonita a linha dos casarões no centro da foto, emoldurada pelo verde forte e o céu meio ocre. O uso do Pl foi muito benvindo. Ótimo POV e enquadramento. Abraço, Consuelo

bakes888 (18353) 2009-01-16 13:05

Hi Goncalo. That tobacco filter adds a surreal feel to this shot. Good sharpness and details. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Bonsoir Goncalo
les couleurs du ciel sont superbes, très belle photo plein de verdure ce qui est rare au Québec en cette période de l'année.
Amitiés

siamesa (13247) 2009-01-16 23:30

Olá amigo,

Os casarões são uma mostra do respeito aos vestígios culturais de que você fala na nota.
O efeito da cor linda do céu é maravilhoso.
Parabéns.
Abraços
Maria

danyy (69499) 2009-01-16 23:41

Ola Goncalo,
l'utilisation du filtre tobacco donne bien ici. La netteté est au rendez-vous, on distingue la moindre nuance dans les verts de l'avant plan par exemple.
Best regards.
Daniel.

nivaldo (13419) 2009-01-17 5:04

Sintra ... Estive aí em Abril passado.
Uma linda paisagem invernal dese belo local.
Bonita composição, Gonçalo, parabéns!

Parabéns!

stego (22482) 2009-01-17 8:56

Olá Gonçalo,
É uma imagem muito atraente, em que, mais uma vez me agrada o efeito do filtro "tabaco". Se eu estivesse atrás da câmara, provavelmente estaria à espera que não saísse nada de especial, pois parece não haver grandes elementos de compo, mas o certo é que é uma foto muito agradável à vista e acho que isso não se deve só a beleza da vista e das cores.
Um abraço, José.

Olá Gonçalo,
concordo quando diz que o lugar é mágico. Apesar de não conhecer pessoalmente, da para sentir essa magia pela beleza da foto.
As cores do céu, a muralha envolvendo a cidade.
Maravilha.
Abraços,

Olá Goncalo,
dreamily this side of old Sintra,with the sky to be an eye catcher.I like the perspective of the scene as the WS that we can see the real scene with a warm filter.Well done.

Have a nice week,Danos

Hello Goncalo,

As usual in Portugal, the nature is right next too the houses. I love this green surrounding the buildings. Your tobacco filter is bringing a lot of warmth!

Have a great day!

Ola Goncalo

Such a nice color tone of the sky as a result of your filter to make this scenery more dreamy than normal. Interesting how a filter can make so effective change to the sky tone and you have used it well here.

tfs, bill

jhm (83378) 2009-01-19 5:27

Hello Goncalo,

It's a wonderful picture, perhaps are it my eyes but I think that the picture not is completely is sharp.
Very well captured, good composed a nice presentation too.
Nice done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Parabens ,

josepmarin (34131) 2009-01-19 7:07

Olá Gonçalo,
me gustan la luminosidad, las tonalidades y los colores que consigues utilizando este filtro, que aporta una gran calidez y dramatismo a la imagen.
Has equilibrado muy bien los elementos en esta composición.
Un bello trabajo.
Abrazos,
Josep

Hi Goncalo,
Well framed and good effect with your tabacco filter, interesting and original result.

gildasjan (24149) 2009-01-19 11:46

Bonjour Goncalo
Un très beau résultat pour cette image avec l'utilisation de ce filtre dégradé cokin.Depuis que je suis en numérique je n'utilise plus ces filtres mais j'en possède quelques et cette image me rappelle des souvenirs.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

riclopes (33135) 2009-01-20 1:44

Olá Gonçalo, interessante ponto de vista de Sintra nada habitual. Gosto sempre deste efeito do teu filtro com o céu encarniçado. O casario espremido entre o 'inferno' e o 'paraíso' resultou numa imagem fantástica, bem mais atraente que o WS. Curiosamente ainda se vê um pouco de céu azul lá muito ao fundo.
um abraço,
ricardo

gracious (20017) 2009-01-20 17:15

Ola my friend Goncalo,
I always loved your style of composition with those wonderful and warm colouration! just awesome!
good pov here on Sintra with sharpness and wonderful details
thanks for the notes as well
cheers
Tony

jafadabret (40369) 2009-01-21 0:27

Olá Gonçalo.
Tu as bien fait de mettre les deux photos pour qu'on puisse les comparer. J'avoue avoir un faible pour celle qui est sans filtre.
D'autre part le ciel y gagne en couleurs et la partie terre en luminosité.
Beau travail !
Amicalement,
Jacques

marietom (32084) 2009-01-23 3:43

hello Goncalo,

belle atmosphère, et très belles couleurs dans cette composition.
Bonne journée

Didi (36516) 2009-01-25 8:55

Olà Goncalo
Very nice sky on fire, the PP is well done, but it's possible to make it also with Adobe Element 5, the same kinds of filters exit but it's better to use them before compressing the picture.
Best regards

giorgimer (21478) 2009-01-26 1:07

Olà Goncalo,

beautiful view, I like the way the town is in harmony with nature.

Compliments!

Olá Gonçalo. Interessante vista de Sintra com uma boa nota a acompanhar. Interessante o WS que nos mostra a diferença entre filtros. TFS. Abraço. PAulo

Angshu (34141) 2009-01-28 19:52

Ola Goncalo
The use of tobacco filter once again makes this dramatic. We can see the comparison with a normal view in the WS. A good informative note about Sintra as well. Well done!
Um Abraco
