Oceanarium in Lisbon *100th post* Photo

Photographer’s Note

*100th post*

Hi dear TE friends

Place: Lisbon, Nations Park, Portugal

Region: Municipality -Lisboa / Parish -Olivais

Theme: Oceanarium in Lisbon / Oceanário de Lisboa
To see: map view

Was taken, at the “Oceanário de Lisboa”.

This place was open for the EXPO'98 and it is one of the most interesting and big aquariums of the world.
I went there and I was amazed with all the species they have. But even more attractive - that really got my attention - was the effect on the adults. They where there, glued to the strong glasses... and mouths wide open.
I usually go to the aquarium just to contemplate the beauty and the peace of the underwater world. This photo was taken in Lisbon, in the Oceanarium - Official link: http://www.oceanario.pt - alternative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisbon_Oceanarium.

Here you can find a lot of fish specimens! I love this looks so calm and quiet... Hope you enjoyed it!

100th post* I certainly could have posted over 100 photos. But I prefer to make with calm. So I and you have time to appreciate the work.

I enjoyed very much my visit to the Oceanario and your photo catches very well its atmosphere - the people sitting and looking up into the blue is exactly the image that's imprinted in my memory. you managed to go very close to the blue of the water, my compliments!

Olá Filipe,

parabéns pelo 100th post!

A fotografia que escolheste é muito bonita, parece mesmo que as crianças estão dentro do aquário. Só falta mesmo as bolhas a sair por cima das cabeças deles. O controle de luz ficou muito bom. Parabéns

Abraço e bom fds

trekks (14260) 2009-05-29 4:44

hi Filipe

Most of us will be very fascinated with the aquarium attraction of seeing deep sea fish in so many colors and shapes. But to capture the scene is a very difficult task, especially without flash and to avoid reflection off the glass.

To use a tripod and set slow shutter also risk the blur in the fish motion. So I see that you have done well for 1/10s to get this quality.

Good work.

And congratulations for your 100th post.

tfs, bill

dip (12406) 2009-05-29 5:12

Hello Filipe,

Congratulations for you 100th picture to TE.
It's very difficult work and TE together, but I appreciate absolutely your pictures.
These picture is extraordinarily, I would think that the children middle of the Oceanarium sit .
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Good perspective and presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Cretense (54654) 2009-05-31 4:20

Ola Filipe and congratulations for this great milestone! I wish that you'll keep posting like this for many more hundreds to come!

Excellent photo, perfect choice for the "celebration", excellent framing and composition, impressive subject and wonderful light managment, under dificult conditions! congratulations!

Hercules

stego (22318) 2009-05-31 8:07

Olá Filipe,
Desculpa só agora te dar os parabéns pela 100ª.
É uma foto muito bonita e muito bem conseguida, sente-se "no ar" o fascínio daquela gente a apreciar o peixes como se estivesse dentro de água. Foi uma coisa que nunca tentei, mas imagino que deve ser muito difícil conseguir as cores e exposição esplêndidas que aqui mostras.
Um abraço,
José

parbo (10936) 2009-06-01 11:42

Olá Filipe,

Congratulations for your first hundredth of another beautiful posts on TrekEarth, its really a meaningful milestone.

Your capture is skillful, especially with its fantastic blue tones of aquarium's interior and silhouettes of visitors. The lights from top and fishes are just amazing. Congratulations twice, have a nice new week.

Parabéns e Abraço!

The partially silhouetted people in the fg add scale & context to the oceanarium. Good sharpness & lighting contrasts with superb colour. Tfs! Parabens!

Excellente réalisation.

Ally

fanni (8709) 2009-06-19 12:28

Hello Filipe,
please accept my belated congratulations! this is an intresting shot: the dark silhouettes of the "spectators" against the brightly lit blue aquarium! Fishes and people... people and fishes. Who is watching whom? Who are the real spectators in this funny show? ;-)
Excellent composition! Very good timing.
... and some food for thought, as well :)
Best regards,
Elena

Congratulations on your 100th post! You chose an excellent image with which to celebrate. I like the device of standing behind people watching the subject of the photo. Somehow having them in silhouette against the brightly lit scene is even more attractive. Well done

Superb picture mixing 2 different worlds. We don't see the border, and that's why it's so impressive to see persons without snorkeling gear admist the fishes.
Thank you for sharing

Excellent Oceanario de Lisboa! Wonderful light and shadow. Good contrast. Perfect shot. Superb work.

gervaso (4936) 2009-08-20 9:01

Olá, Filipe!

Se aparecesse só o aquário, sem os observadores em silhueta, não ficaria tão boa. A inclusão das pessoas também foi boa pra mostrar o tamanho dos peixes. A iluminação está excelente! Bom trabalho!

vasilpro (7929) 2009-08-20 9:39

Hello Filipe,
Amazing view, a very good POV and a beautiful composition with the silhouettes of the people. The colors are lovely.

wolf38 (12475) 2009-09-28 12:11

Hello Filipe. The water world is fantastic. Composition, light and colors are excellent. And the ultimate, there is no separation between the water and visitors to see. Overall, a masterful shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.
