[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken from the same place as yesterday's Photophoto, but a few hours later. I liked the point of view so much that I decided to go back there in the late afternoon with my tripod. I am still trying to master the art of night photography. I hope this is a step on the right direction.

Hola Daniel! Desde luego que la dirección es la buena! A primera vista no me gustaba mucho que hubiera tanto naranja, pero la verdad es que sí me gusta. Incluso se le podría quitar un poco de cielo azul para quedarnos con esta tonalidad sólo en el río. Muy bien la exposición y la nitidez.
Buen trabajo!
Un abrazo,
Inés

You sure had an new angle making this shot Daniel. Usually most photos are done by the banks at the left side of the bridge. Good idea and an impressive result - perfect blue hour photo - interesting place Porto..

Hi Daniel,
a really nice postcard photo have you taken. The rest daylight and the illumination of the buildings works great. Superb warm Colors. Very exciting. Congratulations.

Hi daniel,
A stunning nightscape here with warm vivid colors and lots of detail as night falls. Very pleasing for the eyes and TFs. Gerald

Salut Daniel,

Très jolie prise avec une lumière qui perce encore, une douceur dans le ciel et une belle netteté sur la ville illuminée. Juste dommage ce bout de béton dans le coin gauche du bas...

Amicalement,
Stéph.

Ola Daniel,
Uma belissima foto nocturna da cidade do Porto, a minha cidade.
Excelentes detalhes, luminosidade e cores
Bom Domingo

Hello Daniel
This is pure mastery on exposure. Very strong perspective with the bridge spanning across the river. The blue hour sky in the BG and the artificial lights & their reflections look amazing. Having seen the view in the day time thanks to the link in your note, we can appreciate this effort even more. Excellent shot!
With Regards
Angshu

Very good blue hour shot, Daniel, very deep composition due to the strong perspectives of the bridge and the river... looks a bit like Toledo from this POV, you are right...

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Daniel,
You seem to resolve your focusing problems with your 400D ;)
Excellent long exposure, and superb sharpness. The POV is genial and the compo with the bridges is very good. This should be amongst the best images of Porto. TFS,
Deniz

Ah delightful Porto, with the Dom Luis bridge from the Eifel-school in a prominent role. Love the angle, all the warm hues and the crispness. Beautiful work, Daniel!
Bon dimanche,
Bert

Olá Daniel

Fabuloso trabalho.
Cores luzes que prendem a atenção...
Uma bela foto noturna, cheia de encanto.

A clear and interestingly lit shot of this town and bridge. The orange and blue sit nicely together... and the shot is well framed.
Good work with this...
Cheers

Hola Daniel,
Bella toma con mucha limpieza y excelente luz y colores. Estupenda perspectiva sobre el río Duero y la ciudad.
Buen trabajo
Cordialmente

Excellent lighting and colours. Just another superb night shots of yours!
Best wishes,

Great postcard from Porto. The Dom Luis bridge is an icon and you perfectly portrayed it in all its beauty. Great exposure here. Just a pity about this foreground triangle in the bottom left. It would be even better without it. Colors are very very good.

Hola Daniel, mmm se ve muy bien esta toma de Porto. Una de mis vistas favoritas. El atardecer y la iluminacion crean una excelente combiacion y dibujan muy bien la silueta del centro Historico.

P.S. Porfavor manda de nuevo tu email. Ahora estoy en los USA, e intentare contestarte lo mas rapido que pueda. Gracias

Hola Daniel,
Excelente foto en la "hora azul". No solo por el color pero tambien una perfecta composicion desde un aventajado POV.
Muy buen trabajo.
saludos
