(Series on my Trip to PERU - South America - The MACHU PICCHU Ruins seen from the INTIPUNKU - From September 6th to 22nd, 2007 - # 024 !)

INTIPUNKU IV

PORTE DU SOLEIL IV
PORTALE/PORTONE/PORTA DEL SOLE IV

This was one of the places the Inca People controlled the entrance of other men into their sacred city! It offers a 180 degree view of the Machu Picchu Ruins. Most trackers try to get there in time to see the sun as it rises early in the morning (those who have walked along the Inca Trail)! Although I had read lots about that place before getting there, the INTIPUNKU was a local hint! Gosh, I had to choose between that or climbing up to the top of the UAYNA PICCHU (the most famous peak around those ruins, the most photographed one). Having just one day around, having gone the day before to the top of the PUTUKUSI MOUNTAIN (hard work!!!) and seen post cards from the top of that peak that's know all over the World, I ended up deciding going to the SUN GATE and didn't regret a single moment! Maybe next time I'll take the other option!

ONE WS VERSION:
The same picture with a different cropping!

Hello Ney,
Excellent POV and composition, very good DOF, vivid colors. I like the nature frame with the two vertical stone walls.
Best regards, Vasilis.

Not having been to Machu Picchu yet I can only speculate but it surely seems to me that climbing up here to shoot the city in the saddle of the mountain is an utterly amazing capture. As I have said before you work takes us there not just presents canned wide shots of the city. Great work, can't wait to see more.

Bom-dia Neyvan,
Esta cidade extravagante pela sua situação montanhosa é que subjuga. O teu enquadramento genial sugere a altura vertiginoso e a beleza da paisagem e as inclinações arborizadas. Um lugar fabuloso, uma bonita imagem. Bravo.
Passa um bom dia
Cordialmente
Joël

Hello Neyvan,

You chose a very nice angle, the through look makes these photograph very nice, care for a very nice perspective and depth, leads us excellent to depth in background.
Very impressive with intricate detail and wonderful warm colours
Sharpness and clarity are superb and good presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

realmente lá deve ser um dos locais mais misticos não apenas da américa mas do mundo. Só de olhar sinto uma sensação diferente do local. Acho que o conjunto de arquitetura ancestral, paisagem e luz ajudam nesse aspecto em Machu Pichu.
Linda foto.

Hi Neyvan,

an impressive view of the machu picchu ruins and a very good POV chosen for taking theme. You get a real good overview at which heights the inca people build the city. I'm sure that some day I'll also stay on that point..

Cheers,
Edi

ney

mais um lugar que vc foi e eu não, gostei da maneira como vc enquadrou o cenário com as paredes de pedra. a paisagem natural ao fundo e o contraste dela com as construções ficou bem legal de se ver aqui. boa a luz e pov-enquadramento. realmente, uma pena que eu não pudesse ter tido mais uns 2 dias para correr tudo aquilo, mas de qualquer maneira visitei outros lugares. este tipo de viagem por vezes é como estar num self-service, a gente dá uma beliscada aqui e ali, mas o ideal é um restaurante com pratos completos

abraços

interesting view, just an idea: crop the top and reduce the gamma

Olá Ney,

Apesar da luz ser muito adversa, conseguiste uma bela foto. Gosto do "diálogo gráfico" entre as muralhas em 1º plano e as duas linhas de montanhas muito escarpadas e verdejantes. Nem precisava de se avistar Machu Picchu para ser uma foto excelente.

Ao contrário de muitos, nada tenho contra os formatos quadrados, pelo que gosto muito do WS. A escolha entre as duas é difícil mas inclino-me para esta, talvez porque a verticalidade do formato se adequa melhor à verticalidade das montanhas.

Um abraço,
José

Unique perspective on a universally familiar place. You've captured the details of this incredible stonework and put the place in wonderful perspective. Just a delightful shot. Thanks, Judy
