[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Photo taken during TE Meeting in Seixal with Aires Santos, Ana Dores, Filipe Rocha, Ricardo Lopes, Ana (Ricardo's wife), Gonçalo Lopes, Teresa and miself.

First if all I wish to thank every of the participants for a great afternoon and I hope you also enjoyed it.

About the photo, this used to be many years ago a boat used to carry cork from Seixal to Lisboa.
The boat was waiting near the coast line to be repaired when someone thought it was of a better use to burn it:(

You might also see a good photo on Gonçalo's gallery of this boat.

On the WS you can find photos with some of the participants of this meeting.

Hello Paulo,
What a dramatic shot!
The wreck looks to have ribs like some vast, marine skeleton! The ribbed lines in the sand and the sweeping lines in the sky all add to this feeling!
Great pov and good composition.
Best regards
Siggi

Olá Paulo,

Mais uma bela composição do nosso TE Meeting in Seixal.Estas embarcações são uma delicia para a fotografia,contudo bem merecia que alguém que mande limpasse essa baía para ser ainda mais bonita.Mas se calhar é pedir muito.No momento certo captaste um grande céu, boas cores.Juntei a foto ao tema que já existe.
Um abraço e, abrigado pela visita hospitaleira,
Filipe

wow...wonderful capture. Althoguh the boat is the main subject, the clouds are also very impressive. Nice work:D

interesting subject and composition, the exposure is fine, and shade has been brightened in PP i guess, a lovely picture

Oi Paulo ,
Os detalhes do barco ficaram magníficos este primeiro plano o chão parece tipo deserto com falta de agua , o céu ficou magnifico ,boas cores, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hi,

Great shot. I'm a big fn of such photos. Nice greens, blue of sky. That's almost all I need to feel well ;) I believe the tighter compo would make your photo more eye-catching. I made a little WS for you. I tried to make first plan more detailed with intense ground color which looks for me quite appealing.

Kind regards!

Bonjour Paulo,
un genre de ciel qui me rend fou, magnifique, détaillé, précis. Tout comme l'est la piqué de cette photo avec cette ouverture judicieuse.
Un cadrage exceptionnel.
Regards.
Daniel.

Olá Paulo!
Cá está o barquito:)!Gosto da composição e o céu ficou excelente, para além do barco queimado e solitário com a cidade ao fundo, que cria um óptimo contraste. Amanhã já junto qualquer coisa.

Hello Paulo,
It looks like the ground fight with this impressive sky...we lost this old and burned boat but we win an amazing photo...
A real pleasure for our eyes!I think it is a great place to enjoy a photographer's meeting!

Have a nice day,
Thomas

Ola Paulo
Linda esta foto do barco com a sombra. O ceu magnifico ajudou imenso e o contraste com o verde da agua admiravel
Um grande abraço
Aires

PS ja recuperei dos muitos KM's mas até me fez bem

Bom dia Paulo, que céu fabuloso. É sem dúvida uma bela carcaça que no seu triste abandono contrasta imenso com as cores do resto da imagem. Eu sou viciado em cores, mas pergunto-me se o dramatismo daquelas imagens a p&b que tu sabes tão bem trabalhar não ficaria aqui melhor. Por outro lado, gosto de ver a cidade lá atrás que talvez lhe retire o sentido poético do p&b. Seja como for, está bem bonita. Gostei da originalidade dos WSs :)) com o meu zoom vejo coisas... ;-)
Um abraço,
ric

Olá Paulo,
tu composición es sencilla y tiene una gran fuerza estética, lleva tu estilo elegante y me gusta.
El grafismo de esta barca quemada y el cielo con una bellas nubes que parecen pintadas es muy bueno, la luz y el color están my bien tratados, y aunque el contraste no es el habitual en tu trabajo, la foto es magnífica. Bravo!
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi Paulo,
Well framed this old boat, nice sky with a good blue colours and all these light clouds, a pleasant meeting i see, well the WS !

Aqui está uma foto com cores naturais e muito bonitas. Um pouco diferente daquilo que nos tens habituado a ver. O céu está magnífico e a vista geral é muito boa.
As dos WS estão também boas em especial a do Ricardo à procura do Superman!!!
António

Salut Paulo,
A superb compo here.
I like how you used the length of the boat in the picture diagonal.
Nice job,
Regards,
JB.

Hi Paulo,
great shot of this wreck, thanks to the perfect pov, which includes also the skyline of the town in the bg. What makes the pic very nice is the fantastic sky.
Very good work! Hope you all had a great time during the meeting.
Best wishes.

Hallo Paulo. With regarding the pictures in the gallery this photo is noticeable to me. It is interesting and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello
Paulo, the WS doesn`t count without Teresa...
Interesting boat, ready to sail :D. Good perspective and great sky in the background.
One more, about Ricardo - I think he took a photograph of his thought flying over the clouds...;)
Regards

Ola Paulo
A dramatic shot with the diagonal compo. of the old broken boat resting under a sky with dramatic clouds. Like how you used a lowish POV to fill the boat digonally across the frame..like how the shadows, though not pronounced, fill up the FG. Good work!
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Paulo, nice and dramatic landscape! I like the sky very much! Excellent colors and composition. Nice light indeed.
