Photographer's Note

Série sobre minha Viagem ao PERU - América do Sul - De 06 a 22 de Setembro de 2007 - Visitando LIMA, CUSCO, VALLE SAGRADO, MACHU PICCHU, PUNO com LAGO TITICACA e AREQUIPA com o CÂNION DO RIO COLCA - nº 094 !

(Series on my Trip to PERU - South America - From September 6th to 22nd, 2007 - Visiting LIMA, CUSCO, VALLE SAGRADO, MACHU PICCHU, PUNO with the TITICACA LAKE and AREQUIPA with the COLCA CANYON - # 094 !)

MACHU PICCHU IV !

Walking around the ruins of MACHU PICCHU is an unforgettable experience, specially in the early morning, when you still feel pretty alone in that place! I was fortunate to visit it in a not too crowded day! Yet, I'd love to go back there and stay even lonelier, maybe in the late afternoon, for sunset!

And I think, by now, you all already know that I usually take lots of pictures when I visit a place! Thus, I'm trying to reach 100 (one hundred) pictures of my trip to Peru, trying to select the ones I think are the best and that show in an interesting way all the places I was while visiting that wonderful Country!
So, BACK TO PERU...

And now, 06 posts to go...

Hello Neyvan,

F/10 gives here an excellent result to depth sharpness.
The big stair leads us to the building above.
Also the ruin in foreground makes your picture attractive.
This is real perfect of color, very nice presentation.
Very well composition, good captured.
I find your work very well done. TFS.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hello Neyvan. Truly a world famous city of ruins. A decade ago, I was there. At that time, however, was a wet season. Your photo like it very much. Above all, the great point of view is fantastic. The composition is very balanced. Well done. Compliment. Regards, Wolfgang.

snunney (67346) 2010-09-19 4:46

Hello Ney,
The well selected point of view combined with the vertical format results in an image of great depth and some interesting graphical elements. The wall at bottom right helps draw the viewer into the scene pointing as it does directly towards the pyramid. Light, colours and sharpness are all good.

Hi Ney, what a good composition. There are so many layers in this which lead the eye from the foreground to the background with superb depth and sharpness throughout. This ancient architecture is fascinating, I wish I could travel to Peru one day. TFS and I wish you a good Sunday, Lisa

Bonjour Neyvan,

Endroit magique.La contre plongée démontre l'ampleur des constructions et l'utilisation par les bâtisseurs des flancs de montagne pour les étagements.

Bon dimanche

Serge

Hi Neyvan,

You are right, wandering in machu Picchu is unforgettable experience. i still have it in my mind - early morning, not yet many people, quiet, and the terraces comung out of fog... and somewhere lamas going through the gate. here it is in sun but somhow empty. Impressive POV, excellent sharp ness and colours.

Warm regards

Malgorzata

Buena profundidad para enseñar un punto de vista diferente de ese enigmático lugar...saludos Neyvan

Hi Neyvan,

I knew just a bit from school (so long ago!) about Peru and Machu Picchu. I know today a little more about it, thanks to you, through your interesting, pleasant and didactic work. Thanks for that.
Best regards.
Guy.

Hi Neyvan
une place magnifique qui me plairait beaucoup visiter :-( ta reprise du bas est insolite et intéressante, et rend bien la hauteur du perron sur le fond.
une bonne soirée
ciao
Simonetta

Um cenário que me marcou, mas que não pretendo mais reviver. Sofri muito com os efeitos da altitude ali!
Linda foto, Neyvan! Machu Picchu é um lugar meio místico para mim ...
Obrigado por compartilhar.
Grande abraço,
Nivaldo

Salut Neyvan,
Merveilleuse photo des ruines du Machu Picchu avec une perspective qui est surprenante. Excellente qualité d'image qui nous permet de bien voir les détails de la pierre. Une scène différente de celles qu'on à déjà vu et très intéressante. Beau travail.
Toutes mes félicitations et bonne semaine,
Amicalement,
Emilius

Hello my dear Neyvan

Great architecture shot from low angle approach.
Very famous and frequently seen sight but this angle shot is the first time for me. Nice composition and well calcurated framework as usual. Blessing on your great job and thanks for sharing, Have a nice start of new week and Best regards,
Takero

PS. Some friends ask me how many festivals we have in Japan. The answer is not offically comfirmed but around 20,000 is commonly said . I will take up them as much as possible for my life.

Hello Neyvan,
Another wonderful vertical composition from the famous Machu Picchu, interesting ruins, excellent light management, beautiful colors, very nice POV.
Have a nice day, Vasilis.

That is a very empty Machu Pichu!! Lucky you :-)
Nice capture, original, different angle of Machu Pichu.. sharp, just little bit over exposed on the left corner...

Next time in Peru, go trekking in Huayhuash.. mind blowing scenery I must say.

ney

tive pouco tempo par explorar o lugar como deveria ser fabuloso, além dos poucos minutos livres ainda havia o fato que uma chuva estava começando a desabar e eu tinha medo de acabar perdendo o trem para voltar a MP. aqui este ponto de vista não é dos mais clássicos, mas mostra a porta de entrada das ruínas, com o celeiro lá em cima de onde a guia nos explicava as coisas. linda luz, nitidez e pov. vc aproveitou melhor o local e teve melhor clima para o fazer.

abraços
