land road Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

If you go to Bonito, prepare yourself for long land roads. That's the typical way to get to the grottos, clean water rivers and water falls.

Photos of Bonito by Google image search.

This is an image that was in the drawer since 2008.

Olá Carlos,
Beautiful how this long red earth road leads us through the green landscape. Beautiful sky.
The picture gives the feeling of endless open space.
Best regards, Paul

Olá Carlos,
Interessante sua apresentação de um tema menos explorado nas fotografias de Bonito, a estrada. Ela é certamente o elemento de destaque, com sua linha reta dominante até o horizonte montanhoso, envolto por pastagens e um céu timidamente azul, avistável no topo do quadro. Quanto ao desenvolvimento desse tipo de tema, meu gosto pessoal é por maior impacto: uma tele capturando as ondulações da estrada até o horizonte, tudo chapado; uma grande angular incluindo algum elemento no primeiro plano, etc. Essa milimetragem cria alguma dificuldade para conseguir esse tipo de efeito. O resultado é uma vista mais plácida da cena, o que também funciona. O scan está excelente e o pp, como sempre, ótimo.
Abraço,
Victor

Carlos,
Nice contrast here between the red clay road and the green surroundings. Your composition is great using the road to lead the eye into the shot. The photo has nice balance and symmetry as well. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Vames (4356) 2009-01-31 5:03

hola Carlos,che bella fotografia!nice work my friend!

delkoo (33966) 2009-01-31 5:12

bonjour Carlos,
A fine composition making good use of the road as lead-line. your composition is well planed too, half for the sky and half for the ground, the color of the road enhanced the interest of the place.

best regards

Hi Carlos,
Striking red clay road against the green and blue. Great road through open space and farm land. Road could bring up a lot of dust in the dry season. Have a good weekend. Regards. Latiff.

Floydian (30970) 2009-01-31 6:04

Hi Carlos,

No surpise that the red road is the great winner in this photo. From the thumbnail is was already popping out, seeing the large version is making that red even more dominant. Clouds are perhaps a bit to bright, but the blue and green below create a very good contrast to that red....nice work.

Regards,

Henk

COSTANTINO (22205) 2009-01-31 6:39

Olá amico mio Carlos,
Bellissima foto ,bella prospetiva con la rossa strada che da una grande profondita
alla tua splendida composizione ,grazie per il ws,
buone weekend
saludos,
Costantino

JCG (24851) 2009-01-31 7:01

Hi Carlos,

I am surprised to see this deserted road when it is known where it carries out by consulting the link on Google !!! The color of the road gives a good contrast with the sky and the remainder of the landscape. It is a beautiful prospect and depth. Good glance Carlos et thank you for the Internet link.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Ola Carlos,
What a superb depth in this beautiful view of the land road! this is the most beautiful colour balanced of nature!

many thanks for the sharing
have a great sunday
Tony

rodgerg (23125) 2009-01-31 8:02

Olà Carlos,

The POV very well selectd gives a great prospect to the mountains in the BG. The red colors of the way is very well collected and arise very well in the image. Good photowork.
Amizades,
Roger

siamesa (12465) 2009-01-31 8:57

Oi Carlos

Eu sou fã de cores saturadas como as de tua foto.Essa tem um impacto visual forte e a estrada leva a imaginação para longe...
Abraços
Maria

gervaso (5020) 2009-01-31 8:57

Olá, Carlos!

Taí um lugar dos mais bonitos do Brasil! Até a típica foto de uma reta na estrada fica mais bonita com essas belas cores! Estrada de terra é sempre mais bonita que o asfalto, apesar de que a sua outra foto como esta também está sensacional!

azaf1 (15541) 2009-01-31 9:19

Hi Carlos

I wouldn't like to get stuck if it rains in a place like that but certainly the colors offer a palette attractive to the eye. Great perspective, open horizons and perfect blue sky

wgreis (5906) 2009-01-31 11:31

Bonita foto Carlos,
a tonalidade quase vermelha da terra da estrada se destaca. A proporção entre solo e céu ficou muito boa e a pequena montanha à esquerda é um convite para subir e explorar a região.
Parabéns e abraços,
Wagner.

Gerrit (35491) 2009-01-31 12:15

Hi Carlos,
excellent composition and great landscape. The red earth road is fantastic.
Regards, gerrit

lucasgalodoido (16537) 2009-01-31 12:34

Olá Carlos,
essa é das boas, a estrada, prefiro essas a asfaltadas, mas entenda por "asfaltadas" no Brasil, são bem piores de andar que essa... Bonito contraste na imagem.
Parabéns e Abraço

francio64 (10464) 2009-01-31 12:59

Ciao my friend!
Una foto con un DOF incredibile. La strada sembra non finire mai!
Eccellente il contrasto cromatico tra il rosso del selciato e il blu del cielo.

Well done!
Francesco

nivaldo (12862) 2009-01-31 17:02

Para ver o que é "bonito", todo o sacrifício vale ...
Será mesmo que vale |
Dizem que Bonito não é bonito, é lindo!
Um ótimo POV, Carlos!
Grande abraço,
Nivaldo

Charo (31651) 2009-01-31 17:58

Olá Carlos,
A cor vermelha da estrada faz um nítido contraste com o verde eo céu.
Excelente perspectiva e profundidade.
Um abraço,
Charo

riclopes (32865) 2009-02-01 1:03

Olá Carlos, pelo link que forneceste, parece que Bonito é mesmo bonito :P Aqui daria-me prazer fazer umas dezenas de kms de bicicleta por este estradão de terra. Este tipo de perspectivas são sempre atraentes, mesmo que simples. Parece que sou puxado a grande velocidade até um ponto invisível algures no horizonte e gosto da dinâmica dessa sensação. Além disso a cor da terra avermelhada faz um belo contraste de cor.
um abraço,
ricardo

jlbrthnn (36972) 2009-02-01 1:43

Bom-dia Carlos,
A estrada monótona e direita oferece-se sem fim ao olhar. O enquadramento dá-lhe muitos coloca e de importância, e a sua cor combina-se harmoniosamente à paisagem e céu. A profundidade é evidente. Bonita imagem do imenso Brasil.
Passa um bom Domingo
Cordialmente
Joël

paura (37848) 2009-02-01 2:14

Carlos,
Parece que a estrada não tem fim e que nos convida a percorre-la. O equilíbrio da exposição está muito bom para apresentar a linda imagem.

Abraço

Paulo

npecanhuk (13093) 2009-02-01 2:29

Olá Carlos!
Gosto muito desse tipo de fotos, que incluem estradas e caminhos! Aqui a coloração da terra é destaque! Bem como o constraste dessa cor como verde circundante! A vegetação e os morros do horizonte também são itens interessantes e belos dessa fotografia de que gostei bastante!
Parabéns, abraços e até mais!
Neyvan

Bluejeans (31613) 2009-02-01 6:08

Oi amigo ,
Magnifico trabalho de scan , é uma linda paisagem com esta estrada vermelha de terra batida , é uma grande recta leva o nosso olhar para o horizonte , belo contraste de cores, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Bom Domingo

danos (31716) 2009-02-01 6:14

Olá Carlos,
nice the contrast of the reddish road between the greenery fields the spread on the far distance.The sense of depth is great as i think the low POV.Well done.

Regards,danos

fulvio52 (8314) 2009-02-01 8:46

Hi, Carlos.
Great view, it sure looks like a tropical equivalent of Nevada's, Utah's and Arizona's straight-as-an-arrow secondary roads. And Fuij films, whether Velvia or Superia, are always welcome in this house. I reckon the combination low perspective/brilliant RGB is perfect for this one, that road seems to never end... which is I guess what we all want! Excellent shot, colorful and dreamy. TFS! Have a good day, buddy. I'll see you soon.
Un abbraccio,
Fulvio.

alvaraalto (5227) 2009-02-01 13:49

Hi Carlos,

Great presentation of the endless road to eternity that must be somewhere in the mountains.
I think the symmetrical POV express perfectly the straightness of the road.

Groet Rob

cfreire (11647) 2009-02-01 15:40

Oi, Carlos
Que foto legal! Gostei desta perspectiva que deixa a estrada, nesta terra bem vermelha, num "V" invertido e que segura o nosso olhar até ao final do plano de fundo. Ótimo POV e enquadramento. Linda mostra. Abraço, Consuelo

Beautiful landscape! Great POV, excellent light and nice sky.
Well done.
All the best.

avene (10886) 2009-02-02 21:43

hi Carlos :)
red, green and blue - photo for a new RGB logo? :) or for a take off towards unexplored lands? I like a lot the strong perspective here, it immediately draws the eye in and doesn't let go. the symmetry works relly well to emphasise this perspective, very nice work.

best,
Kristine

shevchenko (9756) 2009-02-02 22:14

Hi Carlos,
Good pov for perspective effect, lovely natural view, just like travel back to old time without man made architecture, thanks for sharing a relaxing view.

Hallo Carlos!
This could be Laos or Cambodia too.I had very simillar views there.
Amazing depth and good colorcontrast.

BWJ (1771) 2009-02-03 5:26

Hello Carlos,
This is an amazing landscape with gorgeous contrasting colors. The deserted red road gives the feeling of endless space and freedom. It is very beautiful.
Kind regards,
Betty

Flavia (10202) 2009-02-03 8:42

Oi Carlos,

Passei muito pelas estradas planas do Mato Grosso, tinhamos que ficar de olho pois meu pai acabava sempre dormindo ao volante... Sou doida para ir a Bonito que infelizmente nao conheco, espero que tenha mais fotos do local guardadas na gaveta. Voce sempre consegue transformar as suas fotos de estrada em algo interessante, com esta aqui nao foi diferente. Gosto da composicao com os limites da estrada coincidindo com os extremos inferiores do enquadramento.
Abracos,

Flavia

trekks (14260) 2009-02-03 9:08

hi Carlos

We used to have this kind of wet slippery roads in the rain more than 30 years ago for travel through Sarawak and the roads were really not flat and nice like this one. A lot of potholes and uneven surfaces to make drivers crazy. Brazil is located quite near to equator like Malaysia, so your landscape is similar. Your shot is interesting to show the road and farms along each side. The color of the road really makes a great contrast to the green space and the sky. Nice work.

tfs, bill

hola carlos
the depth of the photo is impressive, accentuated by the superb perspective of the road, the perfect symmetry, and the very good POV giving the corners of the photo as starting point of the road!The colours are superb and contrasted,and the sky is a wonderfuil element to achieve the beauty of the landscape!Superb!

Pascale

axiotea (15929) 2009-02-03 10:06

Olà Carlos
It looks like the soil contains iron because of its reddish color tone which make a nice contrast with the greenery. The perspective along the road is just great and I like to see the mountains fading in the far. A good depth as well.
Abraço
Marilyn

Hello Carlos,

A red road,great perspective.
What a luxe in Brasil, no cars and no people to see.
Here in Europe are all roads completely full with cars makes this image pleasant for look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Best ragards,
John

ocskaymarci (2508) 2009-02-04 10:09

Olá Carlos,
This photo doesn't really look that "old"! ((: Both the landscape and the colours are beautiful and various. I like the perpective you chose for this endless road, it gives a nice depth to the photo.
TFS!
Cheers,
Marci

denisn72 (6895) 2009-02-04 16:40

Hello Carlos
Amazing colours of that road! The low point of view please me very much. Impressive details and the blue of the beautiful sky fits so well with the green and the orange sand of the road. I agree, the road seems so long!! Thanks for sharing...good job!
Best regards
Denis!

ola carlos
the light might not be teh best on its own, but it sure serves well to bring out the color of the road. hehe, we had our own share of these gravel roads in chile: not that red though :) im am sure though my rental truck must have lost a bunch of screws along the way ;)

cheers,

I have received notification about your answer to my post on the forum, but haven't got one about your comment to my photo :-(.
let me know if get notification about this comment via forum.

pero.. no me gusta tanto el horizonte situado on medio de la fotografia. How about kneeling down (i know that U probably didnt want to loose the part of blue sky)

Scharan (13951) 2009-03-11 13:52

Olá Carlos

Que foto maravilhosa. Esta estrada nesse tom avermelhado em contraste com os inúmeros tos de verde ficou um show. Ótima perspectiva e um
lindo céu para completar...
Parabéns pelo lindo trabalho.

Hello Carlos
This road looks very romantically and alluringly. In comparison with Ukrainian ground roads it seems to be rather passable by car or bike. But what I like above all is its color. The reddish road, green vegetation and blue sky make the scene to be beautiful. Very artistic picture!
Best regards,
Sergiy
