Curioso, é a primeira vez que vejo um castelo decorado desta maneira. Sabes se foi só para a ocasião ou, se está sempre assim à noite? Eu estive lá há cerca de 4 anos mas foi de dia.
Obrigado pelos votos de Boas Festas. Aproveito para te desejar um ano de 2007 cheio de ALEGRIA e PROSPERIDADE. E já agora, com muitas fotos.

Hello José,

Superb shot for a timely presentation. I am amazed how well the photograph came out, considering the bright lights did not cause the aperture to close too much, of for the light meter to adjust to an "average light" setting. It is a perfect exposure.

The wooden pole used as tripod is ingeniuous, and well worth remembering. Years ago I used to cary a pair of "locking pliers" in my car. There is a large screw on one of the handles of teh locking pliers, in order to allow you to radically change the opening. That screw turned out to be precisely the same as the mounting screw on a tripod. Accordingly, I could clamp the locking pliers on any firm object -- the side of a table in restaurant, an iron fence, the bumper or door of an automobile, etc. The I would screw the camera onto the pliers. It made a perfect tripod.

Warm regards, my friend.

Merhaba Jose, my friend...
It's a wonderful night shot... The black background and its contrast between the castle's yellow are perfect... Also perfect point of view and lighting...

Hola Jose!
No estes triste, es una foto muy bonita! Es interesante ver al Castillo decorado para Navidad :D

Y aun tienes tiempo, puede publicar una postal para fin de año!!!
Hay tanto para ver!

Me gusta tu foto, y como las luces recortan al castillo de la oscuridad de la noche, lo notaste? Es como si hubieran trazado la linea para recortar la foto con una tijera!

Besos! Y Felicidades
Paula.

Olá José!
Bonita iluminação desse castelo! Assim como em Portugal, nessa época do ano os prédios ficam enfeitados aqui no Brasil também!
Parabéns e Feliz Natal para você!

Olá José,
even after Christmas now it is still inspiring. Looks strange with the light following the walls and is a good light composition.
Cheers, Ulf

Hi Jose,
good shot. Considering you had a 1 second exposure and used a wooden pole to rest on I'd say you got a pretty sharp image here!

TFS. Leon.

Hello Jose,
well captured night shot of this interesting castle. Good light control and maybe just a bit of lack of sharpness. Good work, my friend!
Tfs and I wish you a prosperous and happy New Year!

Great shot and very festive the way the battlements are all lit along the edges. Your improvised tripod worked well.
Happy New Year to you and your family.

Hello Jose,
Nice night picture. Perhaps just a little bit noisy. But I like colours.
