[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of my favourite filmmakers is Aki Kaurismaki and among his films there are one, The man without a past that tells the story of a people who lives in containers like these of the photo, so somehow this could be a tribute to this director, but I know for certain he do not like tributes, he rather prefer to stay in a pub drinking. I remember one interview with him at the San Sebastian Film Festival, I asked him about his next project and he answered: "Dont know, probably to commited suicide". I think he really mean it.
Take care all of you.

Instant hit....................Miguel. The repetition of the colourful containers from a height charms the eyes...but what I like in this compositio is the much needed perspective...which is daigonal in nature.

Quality stuff,

Regards,

Rajeev

nice composition from a smart idea !
Simple original colorfull picture
Regards Stefano

Hola Miguel:

Lo verdad es que tiene cierto parecido a los edificios de las ciudades-dormitorio que rodean las grandes urbes, es una imagen interesante del puerto de Barcelona, buen encuadre, buen color, me gusta.

Saludos.

Hola Miguel.

La reiteración o repetición funciona muy bien en la foto y da un toque muy especial a la imagen.
Además es colorida y la nota que le acompaña le da mucho más valor.

Un saludo.

hola miguel,

nota interesante ma me gusta mucho esta composiccion porque todos los colores de los containers crean un bonito effecto.

algues no necessitan pajsages, ciudades i monumentos para hacer una foto bonita...es necessario un ocho bien entrenado que busca los detailles come esto.

perdona el mio castellano
Silvio

me gustan muchissimo las diagolanes y las colores, Miguel, mas me gusta tambien Kaurismaki, su rostro y sus ojos cansados.

gracias, querido, por la toma llena de colores y la repeticion. :)
(big effort to write in spanish without a dictionary: our languages are so close I make a lot of confusion!!)

Hola Miguel

¿que decir de esto?, la verdad es sorprendente...si no lees y no observas bien, cuesta saber de que se trata...resultona combinacion de colores y muy acertado tiro, solo contenedores y mas contenedores.

saludos.

They look like colored coffins to me. Aethetically pleasing. They give me a headache :-)
cheers,
CT

Miguel: now, THIS IS A SHOT - (sorry to shout) - what an eye you pulled out for this one. Fine stuff - geometric, symmetrical, replicative, colorful, abstract - it's all here! c

Hola Miguel!

Excelente titulo, y gran dedicacion a un gran artista, pero sobre todo, una tremenda foto, con gran encuadre y composicion, perfecto manejo de la luz, e impresionante grafismo! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hello Miguel

Superb idea and very beautiful composition
Simple original colorfull picture.
The graphisme of these containers is very nice.
Regards
Marc

Hola Miguel:

Es una imagen muy llamativa, con un aspecto gráfico altamente significativo.

Las formas lineales de colores, el excesivo alineamiento y orden, de verdad que permiten que nos detengamos a observar con detenimiento la escena de esta parte del puerto de Barcelona

Gran trabajo

John

Hola fiera.

La foto, de por si impacta pero si encima la acompañas con esta...pues te mueres. Una muy buena idea.

Cuídate tio!

Now that's a bleak quote of Kaurismaki Miguel, and it alters the conceptual stage for this pics significantly. Very graphic, dynamic and yes, evocative.
Take care,
Bert

I do like that. I do find that hypnotic and crazy... Endless, heady...
A great modern and inhuman abstraction.
Stéphane

Hola Miguel,

Estupendo el efecto gráfico de esta fotografía, tanto por color como por líneas y perspectiva. Es como un puzzle ordenado para crear profundidad y dar impresión de una textura peculiar. Me gusta el encuadre que no deja espacio para otra cosa que los contenedores... y me sigue sorprendiendo la capacidad que tienes de encontrar conexiones con el cine en gran cantidad de imagenes. Estupenda. Un beso,

Angel.

Hola MIguel!

Gráfica de cojones!
la luz y los colores te han quedado ...vamos a decir casi... perfectos (que luego te lo crees y la liamos) EL encuadre y las lineas en diagonal son dignas del mejor director fotográfico. Como dicen por aquí en algun comment, no hacen falta paisajes bucólicos para sacar una foto de 10!

nos vemos pronto reportero! un abrazo de los que en invierno ayudan a entrar en calor. Jordi

The choice...
To drink yet another glass of beer or to commit suicide...?

Hmmmm...?
Let me think for a moment...

Both choices seems to be quite rational and equally tempting...

Hmmm...?
I think I'd go for a beer, just in case that they don't have my kind of it 'up there'... You know...???

I know they have all the possible brands 'down there' ... You know...?

:-)))

.............

Incredible place, Miquel...

It is only when you see them all together - you can't help yourself but ask: Where the bloody hell we, the human race - where we are going ????

In the philosophical mood - george

once upon a time I was a chemical trader and we could not get back most of our containers from certain parts of africa..
now, some environmentalist friends placed one nearby a mountain road to serve as the guest house for volunteers..it really makes a nice small house...easy to heat, east to light with a small wind generator...

hugs from a noisy busy istanbul street, just woke up from a siesta :)...

The key here I think is the PoV. I've tried this kind of shot many times in many places, but never got as satisfactory result as this.

hello Miguel,

de jolies diagonales, et de belles couleurs, j'aime beaucoup cette composition graphique.
Bonne soirée
Marie

Hi Miguel,
Quite special shot, at least for me. I've always liked repeating patterns and transport is in my interest too. And I also like Kaurismäki movies. He's a special character and I can imagine meeting him being hard to forget.
This is from Montjuic? I was up there in January, but I had wrong lens there and direction of light wasn't favourable either. So I'm glad to see this successful shot.
Kari

Hola miguel, woow!
great graphic impact!
i love the high POV here, perfect to show the place
great work!
ciao!

Hola! cuanto tiempo!
un problemilla con Photoshop me tiene ausente del circuito, espero resolverlo pronto. De paso que te saludo aprovecho para comentarte alguna foto y decirte que la ultima foto que te comenté tuve un pequeño desliz con los smailies y te puse uno muy serio...ya esta resuelto ;-)

En esta foto el efecto grafico es espectacular. Todos esos colores! Lo que más me gusta es el encuadre que has elegido componiendo con esas diagonales. Sin ellas la foto perderia mucha fuerza.

un abrazo compañero y hasta pronto.

Javier
