São Luis, a photo from Maranhao, Northeast

Photographer's Note

The historical center of São Luis, very interesting, preserved and great. The absence of poles and aerial electric wires facilitates the work of the photographers. This photographed street, is put into motion in the majority of the days.

Very nice image, conveying serenity. I like the deep colours but I think, from a technical point of view, that the photo is issing an accent in the right, it is too empty there.
Regards!

Olá antónio,

Hi Antonio.

I like to take picture at this time of the day, where long exposition time gives this kind of dark blue sky, and have at the same time a very clear image. Very good athmosphere here. I like it.

Flavia (10352) 2006-05-11 18:19

Oi Antonio,

Que luz tem esta foto! Gosto das luminarias, dao uma impressao de estrelas a brillhar. O ceu esta fantastico. Estas facadas ajuleijadas sao o maximo, um delirio para os fotografos! Obrigado por atender maeu pedido e nos mostar um pouco desta beleza. Nao tinha reparado no detalhe da ausencia dos fios quando estive la, na epoca nao era tao aficcionada por fotografia, tenho certeza que se fosse hoje este detalhe nao pacaria despercebido!

Abracos,

Flavia

Hello Antonio,

I like this photo very much. The effect created by the lights down the street is amazing. The beautiful light coloured buildings really stand out great against the sky. The inclusion of some people and the patios in the street are great! Beautiful composition and great colours!

Greetings,
Ann

Ola Antonio,
I wanna go to bed but i can't there's again a good picture...
The place is very nice specialt taken at the blue hour,i suppose you've use a small aperture to make staring the street lights,the lines and the pavment in foreground gives a strong perspective,
good job!
regards,
vincent

Oi, Antônio! Não sei o que houve que minha apreciação não entrou... Mas, de qualquer forma, a foto é muito bonita, valorizada pela luz, pelas cores e pela composição, que ressalta a beleza e o ar lusitano de São Luís (para fazer par com a foto de Belém!). Parabéns! Um abraço! Miguel.

Bela foto!

ercanuto (226) 2006-05-11 22:21

Wow! I can't beleive this was posted without any post processing. All the while I thought the sky was added from a different picture. This is a great picture. A real photographer talent.

singuanti (15250) 2006-05-11 22:38

Hey Antonio. You should be proud of this one! I love the smooth painterly feel to it. The colors are to die for. Superb shot Antonio!!

Wahclellaspirit (3845) 2006-05-12 0:31

Hola Antonio,

Incredible lighting in the street scene! The yellow building and blue sky and reflections in the windows makes this an outstanding image. Very good depth and exposure, I like the cobblestone walkway, it is indeed an old city and stree.
Excellent............
Steve

pilpel-adom (3018) 2006-05-12 1:39

When I first saw this post, even in the thumbnail, I was sure it was a painting...and then I opened it and...WOW!
Really really pictural, can't put my finger on what made me feel this toward the picture, but the composition with the waiter and sitting man, the perspective...everything here is just lovely.
One of your best work!
Chen

Gerrit (43745) 2006-05-12 3:38

THe low POV gives the cobbled stones a fine centred position. The houses are bright and the waiter and costumer in the far left are very good aditions, like drawn in a comic.
Beautiful picture,
thanks and regards, Gerrit

andante (7092) 2006-05-12 10:00

Antonio, I like the composition in deep perspective and the oversized light flares. They enhace the experience of being there. It makes me want to sit down and ask for a beer.

Salud!
Enrique

bibiweb (8) 2006-05-12 10:55

Hello Antonio,
Incredible colours in the sky and on the buildings. I like the star shaped lights and the empty street opposed to the restaurant's terrasse on the left. simply beautiful!

jafadabret (56497) 2006-05-12 13:30

Antonio, une excellente perspective de cette rue pavée avec des lumières qui jouent les étoiles et des façades très colorées, tout cela fait un excellent cliché.
Jacques

ChristianS (2997) 2006-05-12 15:09

Hi Antonio,
Very nice picture! I like this sensation of quiet moment before the night, when the day is nearly finished.
Nice place for having holidays too I suppose...
Christophe

riclopes (35567) 2006-05-17 3:45

Olá António,
É de facto uma fotografia muito limpa e com um resultado surpreendente, tendo em conta que não houve tratamento da imagem. A perspectiva é excelente, as cores e a luminosidade são muito atraentes. Adoro a textura do empedrado à frente e o POV baixo dá mais impacto à imagem. Excelente trabalho e obrigado por partilhares!
Um abraço amigo,
Ricardo

svo555 (1028) 2006-05-17 4:25

simonekarl (404) 2006-06-22 13:47

Ciao Antonio, The impression is of an picturesque quiet town, I don't think I want to see it busy. :)
The facades of the buildings on the right look very interesting and colourful are they ceramics? Only shame is the effect of the street lights being a little too strong, and distract the eyes from the beautiful colour of the sky.

zeca (19762) 2006-06-25 0:51

Belíssimo postal Antônio! A nitidez é linda, assim como as cores e todos os detalhes da bela composição! Você usou algum filtro que cria os efeitos na luz?
abraço,
Zeca

Cricri (87288) 2006-06-28 9:29

splendid lights and scene!

ElAprendiz (30) 2007-02-13 8:39

Hi Antonio
A gorgeous nocturnal image of urban landscape. The depth of field, composed by the paved streets, the shade of the neon lights, and their architecture, offers a scene much enchantment. Perfect frame. Good work.
