Ogni tanto emergi dall'oltretomba :-))

Interessante vista architettonica, ma mai più interessante della mia ultima foto naturalistica :-))

Ottima gestione della luce e bella resa cromatica.
Il vialetto in FG, conferisce una buona profondità alla scena.

TFS!
L'Assessore

ciao Silvio,
mi piace l'angolo di inquadratura con l'ombra in FG che apre la scena.
Bella l'architettura colorata di queste costruzioni con il selciato della stradina che conduce alla torre di fondo,
buona giornata

Hello Silvio
this is such a creative POV and wonderful composition. I love it! The clarity and sharpness are immaculate and the colours so outstanding. Inspired use of the fg shadow to create depth and your light management is flawless. A quality image and first class presentation.

Olá Silvio,

I enjoy how you managed the exposure. Very good tones and colours. Well composed with the place.

Silvio very good use of the wide angle lens in this setting. It appears to be a fantasyland location. I really love the design of this palace..thanks for sharing.

paololg (31442) 2011-06-17 6:01

Caspita che bella, peccato che si veda un pò la distorsione del tuo 10-24, ma per il resto è veramente una bella composizione, nitida, colorata e luminosa come si conviene ad una buona foto. Hai colto una bellissima luce che mette bene in rilievo tutti i piacevoli dettagli. Complimenti!
Ciao, passa un buon fine settimana!
Paolo

Ciao Silvio,
spettacolare la tua veduta sul palazzo, e che colore magnifico hai trovato nel cielo! Mi piace lo sguardo "a salire" che ci presenti ed è ganza l'ombra merlata in primissimo piano :-) complimenti davvero. occhio che nel titolo hai messo una R che non c'è ;-)
buon fine settimana
ciao
Simonetta

Ciao Silvio.
Hai fatto bene a comprarti quest'obiettivo, è un buon prodotto. La foto ci trasferisce colori e atmosfere molto belle, sotto un sole che appare "pesante".
Spero anch'io di andare presto a Lisbona...
Buon fine settimana
Renzo

Ciao Silvio, bellissimo scorcio, otttimo uso del grandangolo, se vieni a Castelluccio vedrai come ti ci diverti, ottima nitideezza e bei colori brilanti, mi piace l'ombra della merlatura in primo piano, bravo, ciao Silvio

macjake (39235) 2011-06-28 3:53

Hi Silvio
its funny that you mentioned you're having fun with your wide angle lens, thats exactly what i was thinking when i was viewing this.
the distortion of the lens brings the subjects strangely close to us.
and talk about odd buildings!
great visual here.
cheers

Ciao caro Jeppo

You're certainly getting your money's worth out of that new wide-angle lens. Love the perspective, it reminds me a little of Goncalo's photos (Bluejeans). Fantastic colours and shapes, the architecture is fascinating and you've chosen an excellent POV to accentuate the effects of the wide-angle lens. Great job, thanks for sharing.

Enjoy your weekend
Lisa

Ciao Silvio,
I am so jealous of this shot. I had the pleasure to visit this extraordinary place by myself but it was so crowded with tourists that I have hardly even seen the palace. There were hundreds of people EVERYWHERE. So I decided not to post any photo from there.
Your work seems very attractive and original. I like the shade in the foreground. I like the huge gate, and I like the road leading to the beautiful central view.
Great work,
M

Hello Silvio,

Asiulus (1176) 2011-07-05 14:06

Ciao Silvio. Nice composition, I want to follow that road and see as many colours as one can find there. It looks that the corners are a bit distorted, but that's what you get with wide angle lens and I actually really like this spacious effect.
Best regards!
Joanna

skippy007 (12500) 2011-07-06 2:33

Ciao Jeppo, Looks like a scene from a Disneyland movie, excellent colour saturation & enough lens distortion to make it interesting. Complimenti. La tamron 10-24 come la trovi? qui per via di qualità non ci manca niente.
Saluti
Santo

Take care, Ivana

Ciao włoskie skarbie from Switzerland,

Why I haven't seen this photo? You must have been here very early or very late that there are no cattled tourists. usually it is so full you can't make decent photos. Fine view. I have so nice memories from this place, visited with Aires. Have you met him?

Ciao, have a splendid day
