[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Picture is for all the TE Members that like Nature and is also dedicated to:

1). A Portuguese TE Member that have interesting posts about S.Miguel that is ILENA LO with the nickname NATURALLAND that have the FIRE Lagoon in a splendid view here_1: Link and my previous post in a hazy day here_2: Link

2). To a new TE Member from USA that have also very good posts that is BRUCE CHRISTIANSON and with the nickname PHOTOLOGIC that you can see a splendid capture of a recent disappeared vertical ISLET at VILA FRANCA do CAMPO here_1: Link and other detailed Islets taken by me from PONTA do ESCALVADO here_2: Link

This is a return to the beautiful S.Miguel Island the second Eastern Island of Azores Archipel of nine brothers and sisters, that are live with nature in the vast central North Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America. THIS one was captured at Varzea-PONTA do ESCALVADO near a small fishing village called MOSTEIROS in the Western part of this Island that you can see at your right in my my next Link information. This is a very well known place where there are some particular shapped small Islanders emerging from the sea in a vertical way that you can see in detail in this previous picture here: Link

Now, I present this picture of the Monk a Vertical Icon Islander in a sunny day moment after Midday with the sun rays at near 120 degrees of my left and at my face the enchantement of the blue and the contrasting sea boardline wild nature coast. THANKS to them for their complementary great and excelent views of this Island.

TECHNICAL INFO: ISO=64 Focal Lenght=133mm and a very small crop at the lower base and also a small touch of Contrast.

IMPORTANT Note: I post 3 WS-Workshops where YOU can see a Google Map View with the near local of these shots that is referenced with a Green Camera Icon and Escalvado at the left of the Map, the second is a artwork Neatimage of this post and in the last one a similar view taken after this posted one. This nice particular Atlantic Island have harmonious mountains, sea scenery, walles and dolphins, cows with milk and excelent cheese for all the world, black and green Tea, pinneaple and also a great wonderful volcanic sceneries, It's a natural and preserved Island that have many people linked to United States, Canada, North Europe, Brazil and also naturally to Continental Portugal.

Thanks to ALL of YOU and I hope that YOU like this work and information.

Hi Fernando,

Good view over this wild coast. I like the colours but the white is a bit to bright I think.

Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Olá Fernando, que boa supressa. Adorei da perspectiva e da vista. Impressionante tudo! Um colírio para a vista. A cor do mar é mesmo belíssimo. E as ricas texturas das rochas dão um bom contraste. Muito belo sito, magnificamente fotografado. Vai a meus favoritos. Um bom fim de semana. Gabriel

Olá Fernando,
Un plano alto muy interesante para mostrarnos toda la espectacularidad de estos espléndidos paisajes. Me gusta el punto de vista y el encuadre. La foto tiene unos colores preciosos (sobre todo el mar), se aprecian muy bien todos los detalles, como la espuma de las olas rompiendo en las rocas, y le has dado una buena iluminación y contraste.
Bien hecha!
Un saludo, y buen fin de semana,
Josep

Olá Fernando,
BRR!!!! a grandeza deste local é arrepiante!! gosto muito da 'rudeza' do que nos mostra na foto. As cores, definição de imagem, e POV estão excelentes!
Parabens e um abraço amigo.

Beautiful sharpness and composition, very well done Fernando.

Hi Fernando
This is a great shot from above, good colours and fantastic POV. The light gives great strength to the colour and look of the shot; and the composition conveys the ruggedness of the coastline. Good shot and great impact.
Cheers
Aubrey

Hi Fernando,
Very nice point of view for your picture !
I like the power of nature well composed...
Congratulations !

Hello Fernando,

Another great photo of the ocean. You captured the feeling of the rough and powerful ocean against the rocks and the sculptures that the sea can create. The clear blue water is amazing!

I am leaving tonight to Portugal. I will be in Caldas for three weeks and I will be taking many photographs. I will also be in Obidos everyday to further capture the feeling of the town for Easter. I can't wait to try my new camera, a Fujifilm S3 Pro.

Your friend,

David....

Hi Fernando,
A real rough and wild piece of nature. Well captured from a very spectacular angle. Also thanks for your extensive note.
Groet Rob

Olá amigo Fernando,
Bonita imagem esta do mar a bater nas rochas.
Um perfeito contraste entre o branco da espuma da água e o bonito azul profundo do mar.
sem dúvida que nos mostra aqui um local maravilhoso do nosso Portugal insular.
Um beijo e bom fim de semana
Teresa

Olá Fernando,
Your post has taken me on a lovely trip thru Cristina's and Ilena's photos. So I guess that old village is gone now. I love the light and color in this well framed photo. I also like the framing in your workshop, perhaps even a bit better.
Regards, Pat

Hi Fernando. What a beautiful and rugged coastline. The deep blue of the water comes across well. You must have been rather high up to get this angle. tfs Fernando!

Hi Fernando,
Splendid contrast between the blue water and rocks, the few green vegetation on the rocks care for a extra colour nuance, the white sea foam line gives lovely feeling.
Have a nice sunday,
John

Hi Fernando...
The diagonal shoreline with the surf makes this very pleasant in my opinion!
Fine POV my friend, I also appreciate the colour of the waters around this rugged coastline...

Hi Fernando

A very excellent composed image - I like the diagonal coastline and the mix of "wild water" together with rough cliffs - thanks for the very informative note and extra links to give the true feeling of visiting this great place.

Best wishes
Jeppe

Hello Fernando,
The deep blue tone of water trying to wash out the rocks is looking great. The vertical island, (the main subject) is amazing. It looks like ruins of some towershape temple. The natural carving in the form of horizontal layers on this island including other rocky members are amazing and shows natural process of making rocks.
Good POV and great composition.
Thanks for sharing.

A spectacular seascape with marvellous colour, lighting & sharpness. I like the blue color & rock stack. A good pov & tfs. Felicitations!

Bonjour mon ami Fernando,
J'ai l'impression de survoler cette côte en delta-plane et d'admirer ce merveilleux décor.
Félicitations pour cette superbe présentation. Tout est beau, l'angle de prise de vue est parfait pour restituer la majesté de la nature.
Il y a du grand talent dans cette composition.
Amitiés.

Hola Fernando, Fabulous colours. What a beautiful countryside. Very impressive picture!

Regards Artur

Thank you for your kind words and for all the outstanding work you have done about the Azores and in particular Sao Miguel.

This is one of my favorite photos and it's most appropriated to continue the previous photo of Vila Franca islet in the Azores folder: subject, warmth of colors and quality of notes.

great area. nice colors.

Olá Fernando,
Mais um excelente trabalho a todos os níveis. Não só pela partilha e apresentação de novos membros, como da mostra de várias fotos complementares, pelo texto e experiências mostradas em ws. A vista é fantástica, mostrando bem o esplendor da natureza no seu estado mais selvagem. Aquela rocha é de facto muito interessante e o equilíbrio entre mar e rocha está perfeito. O trabalho com Neat image é interessante (se bem que altera um pouco a realidade) e não sei qual me atrai mais. Penso que a segunda imagem mais aproximada é a que gosto mais. A rocha tem mais impacto e a cor da água está espectacular. Parabéns por tudo isto e um bom domingo para si!
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo

Hi Fernando
Très belle vue, sur ces superbes falaises, joli travail.

- Whaoo! What a point of view! It is splendid of beauty and brutality, really a beautiful image of excellent quality both for the color the light and the sharpen, good end of sunday, cheers!

Hi Fernando,
A superb bird's eye view of this rugged coastline. One can hear the crashing of the surf and feel the harsh texture of the rocks. I especially like the tall outcropping standing just offshore. The greenish hue of grass/lichen on the rocks enhances. A very fine capture, Fernando. All the best.
John

Hi Fernando - beautiful rugged coastline, the fury of the sea goes well with the rugged cliffs it is trying to erode, the detached seastack is quite interesting.

Hello Fernando!
It's so nice with great POV,i like the color and excellent sharpness here,and the white waves when they reach to the rocks,excellent work.
Best Regards

A very dramatic coastline, Fernando! Your composition is very effective here. You give appropriate amounts of sea and rock in the image. Nice work!

Hi Fernando!
What an interesting rugged coast!I like the color of the sea and the stone formations.
Very good contrast and composition.
All the best,

Beautiful shore. I like the rocks and rough water. Nice colours too.

Hello Fernando,

Une vue impressionnnante, il y a de l'altitude et de la plongée. IL y a un peu de surexpositoin dans l'écume des vagues mais on sent leur puissance.
Tu aurais pu aisso, en sous-exposant un peu, obtenir des couleurs plus vives.
Un joli point de vue.
Daniel.

This bridge must be very high to provide you with such a high vantage point. There are lovely colours in the sea, especially where the foam mixes with the stronger blue of the sea. The light here is very good allowing you to capture excellent detail in the rocks.
You definitely made the right choice as your main post. The neatimage takes away the detail I am enjoying so much, and whilst the zoomed-in shot is good I prefer this wider view.
Kath

Impressive view Fernando, a really well taken picture for show to us this wonderful coast, nice work, compliments!!

ciao, Fabio.

Olá Fernando,
parabéns por mais esta magnífica escolha!

Os Mosteiros são sem dúvida um local belíssimo mas normalmente escolhido para ver o PDS :)
Esta é sem dúvida a prova que os Mosteiros são na realidade um local idílico .. a qualquer hora :)

Parabéns!

Joana

Boa tarde Fernando, you have chosen a striking PoV here to show us the rugged beauty of the eroded wind and sea swept rocks of the Acores. I also like the order in the chaos of stones. Great and enticing nature graphism, love the colours too! Thanx for adding the WS too.
Have a nice week and the very best wishes,
Bert

Hi Fernando, A nice shot of the beautiful coastal line with strange formation and angry waves. Nice contrast of the blue ocean wave with white wave and clear coastal line rocks. A well taken picture.

Hi Fernando,
Beautiful POV, this blue is very beautiful and perfect light for the rocks, well composed too.
Just a detail, waves are a bit too much white maybe overexposed.
later ...

E bom tê-lo de volta Fernando!!
Que cores e que angulo incrivel!!
Gosto desse tema, muito interessante e informativo. A estetica da imagem, alem do enquadramento estão otimos.
Saudações.

Hi Fernando.

The view is impressive. I like the different colours of your picture and how the waves "break" on the rocks. (This white colours is lovely)

The note is also good!!!

Rgs, Oscar

What a POV, Fernando!
Very nice shot with great composition made by two part, the soft part in the left and the hard part in the right.
Tanks for this exceptional shot.

Glad to see you again and post at the same time you did. Fortunaly a customer changed a date this afternoon at the last minute so, here I am.
This is a very nice maritime view and the success this composition had is certainly due to the quality of the shot and the exceptional configuration of the coast. You did well in framing as you have a wide part of the shore and this "monk" at the right place, a pity that the frame cannot give upper in the cliff facade, this could be more spectacular ( hé, hé its impossible with the cameras we have)
Good colors too
I like it

Beautiful wild place that you have captured well.
Hope you were prudent for this one.
The vertical POV is impressive and it shows the violence of the raging waves .
Have a good week

Fernando, bonjour !
C'est une photo toute en relief que tu nous présentes. J'aime la diagonale d'écume qui partage la photo entre rochers et eau. Les couleurs sont belles ainsi que la composition. Des trois versions c'est celle qui est présentée ici que je préfère.
