Seixal Colours and Textures I Photo

Photographer’s Note

Today I was giving a look at my old archives and found this... Maybe nothing so special, there's no soul hanging around or some beautiful building.
Now, look at those colours, at the textures these old facades deliver.
I'm a lover of colours and strange textures and this one fullfilled both.

Hi Paulo,
there's no beautiful building? for me that's a beautifull building. As you say gorgeus colours and textures, for me that makes this house beautiful and interesting at the same time. TFS. Rafa.

Paulo,
Os detalhes da superfície da fachada da casinha estão interessante ao extremo. As imperfeições, como o musgo, são muito fotogênicas.

Abraço

Paulo

That's what I really like. An old wall, an old door, superb texture, fine strong colours. Really impressive set of elements.
Regards!

Bonjour Paulo,
beaucoup d'art et d'esthétique dans ces couleurs de délabrement.
Une photo qui nous présente cette vieille façade un peu comme dans une peinture.
Magnifique couleurs comme d'habitude.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Gosto das cores e das texturas das tuas fotos mas acho-as, por vezes, muito deprimentes. Será que não existem lugares mais bonitos para boas cores/texturas?
Tecnicamente, a foto está perfeita com cores fabulosas e uma nitidez extraordinária.

...and i am a lover of this style of postprocessing where you dig out the stains, cracks and textures in general...and portugal is a paradise for that old architecture lovers who so much enjoy the style...
i'll be following your series for sure...

You are right, the contrast in textures between the left and the right of the door are rather surprising, as are the very different colors. Clearly a wall with a long life.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hi Paolo,

Very nice shot on this wall, I like the colors, your treatment... Just a pity that there wasn't a cat in this place :-)

Regards,
Stéphanie.

Paulo,
Beautiful colors, amazing light management... The Vato_Law touch in this one ! :o)
The chromatic balance is great, I like a lot these strong graphics.
Regards,
JB.

Such deep, rich colours Paulo. And the different textures are so well defined, you can almost "feel " the roughness of the wall on the left compared to the one on the right. Very well observed shot. Best regards, Roberto

Olá Paulo!
Precisa de uma boa reforma essa parede, mas em compensação criou uma ótima foto, ja reparei que existem muitas nesse estado de conservação em Portugal, ou então vocês portugueses gostam de fotografar esse assunto!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hi Paulo,

Plein de textures très belles, dans cette image. Un coin dans lequel je me serais régalée, tout comme toi. Très joliment composée, ton image.

Ola Paulo
Este é um excelente exemplo de uma bela foto feita de coisas menos belas.
Excelente enquadramento, detalhes e definição
Um grande abraço e boa semana
Aires

josepmarin (34269) 2007-11-11 11:45

Olá Paulo,
bella foto, lleva tu firma, las texturas, los colores y el aspecto general de tus fotos las hace muy especiales, y me gustan. Como ésta, realmente impresionante por su sencillez y perfecto encuadre.
Estas viejas y deterioradas fachadas tienen, gracias a tu trabajo fotográfico, un gran nivel estético.
Perfecta.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi bad guy ;)
Beautiful colours and textures of the door and wall.
Interesting image.
Regards

cherryripe (19237) 2007-11-17 13:01

Hi Paulo
You sure don't need a person or cat here, as you say, the colours and textures say it all. Your heavy contrasting and saturation accentuate them all the more.
Regards
Nikki

Hi Paulo,

Fantastic colours and interesting textures, I like the contrast of the two different facades and the way you used the door to separate them, also I like the texture of this type, you looked good here, and you have captured a great image, mysterious and full strength.

Regards
José

Angshu (34243) 2007-11-20 19:47

Ola Paulo
An old wall, lots of textures, strong colors, abstraction in simplicity. The door is a separator between the smooth texture on the right & the beaten one on the left. Well seen, conceived & composed.
Regards
Angshu

Olá Paulo,
Esta está perfeita.
As texturas destas paredes bem velhinhas foram captadas na perfeição.
As cores estão fantásticas e a luminosidade está cinco estrelas.
Muito boa mesmo.
Beijinhos
Teresa
