Peru nº 040 - MACHU PICCHU - CLÁSSICA ! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Série sobre minha Viagem ao PERU - América do Sul - UMA VISTA CLÁSSICA DA CIDADE PERDIDA DOS INCAS - MACHU PICCHU - De 06 a 22 de Setembro de 2007 - nº 040 !

(Series on my Trip to PERU - South America - A CLASSICAL VIEW OF THE INCA LOST CITY - MACHU PICCHU - From September 6th to 22nd, 2007 - # 040!)

MACHU PICCHU - UMA VISTA CLÁSSICA, MAS SEMPRE INESQUECÍVEL!

MACHU PICCHU - A CLASSICAL VIEW, BUT ALWAYS UNFORGETTABLE!

MACHU PICCHU - UNE VUE CLASSIQUE, MAIS TOUJOURS INOUBLIABLE!

MACHU PICCHU - UNA VISTA CLASSICA, PERO SIEMPRE INOLVIDABLE!

Although this view has been overly photographed (many might say that!), to celebrate my 40th post from Peru here at TE, I decided that this would be the one! It's classical, but, in my opinion, never enough seeing or being reminded how magnificent that place is! Unless you visit it, pictures can impress you, but being there is much more interesting and thrilling!

FOR THOSE WHO DOUBT IT, IN MY WS I EVEN INVERTED THE POSITION OF THIS SAME PICTURE (VERTICAL FORMAT), SO YOU COULD ALL SEE THAT THE "FACE" REALLY EXISTS AND IT'S QUITE INTERESTING, FASCINATING AND INTRIGUING!

Hello Ney,
I like this composition, which makes good use of the strong graphical elements in the foreground to act as lead lines towards that world famous peak. Also, the pleasant light and natural looking colours. Good sharpness as well.

Bonjour Neyvan
c'est vrai que le Machu Picchu est un classique mais ce décor est d'une beauté que je ne me lasse pas de regarder, surtout quand la photo est magnifique comme celle-ci. Bravo.
Amitiés
Jean-Pierre

Hi Ney
I took a look at this series of pic from Peru...really good ones, so colorful and plenty of life! This is a classic view, as you say, but it's really nice and well taken, I like it!
Have a nice day

Hi, Ney,

Classic yes!

Clearly, it is shot so many times because it is such a special scene, both aesthetically and historically.

Your execution is excellent. The composition is strong, with a visually compelling foreground (the ruins), dramatic midfield (the sharp "nose") and the bright background (clouds and distant mountains) arrayed nicely in a diagonal across the frame.

The colors are attractive and the image is sharp.

Light management must be a challenge here because of the strong contrasts and high elevation (= extra UV). Did you use any filters? I'm guessing that a UV filter would help reduce the blueness of the background. A polarizing filter might also help sharpen the distant part of the scene.

Compliments!

Ola Ney!

really the face is there!

Good view and excellent colour tones, I think it is not easy to capture this in such good definition, thanks too to a clear day...

Good work!

Have a nice day...

Manuel

Longroute (10919) 2009-09-28 6:59

Hello Ney,

really a classical view of this enchanted place! And a one we always enjoy to see. And you are right it's quite impressing and magnificent. Apart from the face (quite evident in the ws) the mountain peak and the ruins themselves are so intriguing and evocative.
Your composition is very well balanced and very clear. I like the textures of the stonewalls and those green lawns in between them.
A very good work.
TFS,
Donato

Howdy Ney!
Amazing famous place. Wonderful perspective, wonderful long and wide perspective. Spectacular landscape.
Regards.

Hi Neyvan

Wow! One of my dream destinations! The other is Egypt. Superb high pov overlooking Machu Pichu, with good colour & sharpness. Tfs!

jmdias (20959) 2009-09-28 7:56

ney

dizem que os incas escolheram o lugar por conta desta silhueta também, pode ser coincidência ou mais um ponto decisivo no momento da escolha. linda vista, bem enquadrada, iluminada e com toda a magia do local

abraços

Hello Neyvan,
Wonderful view and very interesting ruins from Machu Picchu, an impressive composition with a very nice atmosphere. (I saw your WS and your POV give us clearly the face).
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

lucasgalodoido (17675) 2009-09-28 10:27

Olá Neyvan,
essa é clássica mesmo, mas é bonita e ainda mais como homenagem a 40ª foto no TE do Peru. Gostei, belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

magalik (1804) 2009-09-28 12:12

Bonjour Neyvan !!
Voilà un lieu qui me fait bien rêver depuis longtemps, depuis un fameux dessin animé qui passait à la télévision française quand j'étais enfant.
Une vue classique mais dont on ne se lasse pas ! Bon POV qui permet de voir les ruines mais également la superbe nature environnante.
Personnellement, je préfère la photo en WS qui est plus contrastée.
Amicalement,
Magali

siamesa (14005) 2009-09-28 12:17

Oi Neyvan

Acho que após uma visita aí tudo se torna inesquecível.
Além da magia do local, tem toda essa beleza milenar que você sabe como valorizar em suas fotos.
Abraços

Another excellent composition archaeological wealth that has your country.
Very beautiful natural colors and depth in your shot.
An excellent point of view or have seen many details of the ruins.

Hi, indeed classical shot. But always fascinating to look at. You were lucky - the place is quite empty!

Olá Neyvan,

Esta é uma paisagem esplêndida, que a gente não cansa de olhar. Acho que deve ser emocionante estar lá, sentindo o ar frio e limpo no rosto. Excelente captura, ótima luz, belas cores e boa nitidez.

Abraços

Neyvan,
Aquela alí é a pedra que dizem se assemelhar a um rosto deitado, né? Linda fotografia, com fotometria e demias ajustes muito bons.

Abraço

Paulo

Hola Neyvan.
Espectacular esta composicion sobre este lugar tan admirado y aunque sea tan fotografiado siempre nos deleita admirar su belleza, unos colores naturales y una bonita luz aporta tu buen trabajo.
Saludos.
Luis.

fanni (9359) 2009-09-30 13:54

Hello Neyvan,
I consider this point of view excellent: it shows the ancient city and the mountains surrounding it... and what is more, there's that lovely transition of colours from warm FG to very cold hazy BG. Very good sense of depth! I like it very much. And I wonder if I will ever see it in reality... most probably not! :(
Warm greetings from autumnal cold Moscow,
Elena

Bluejeans (34486) 2009-10-01 11:20

Ola Neyvan ,
Um lugar fantástico pelo menos conhecer uma vez na vida, como esta civilização consegui construir esta cidade tão alta , é um belo ponto de visão com um grande campo de visão sobre a cidade , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Ciao Ney, classic and wonderful view from amazing place, splendid light and colors, very well done, have a good week end, ciao Silvio

bona (3359) 2009-10-02 18:12

Essa vista eu lhe perguntei numa foto sua passada. Essa vista é realmente arrebatadora. E realmente a montanha lembra um rosto. Sabe se é uma ação natural ou foi obra dos incas em culto algum deus ou imperador?
Deve ter sido uma viagem inesquecível.
Andre
