Sines' Carnival - Sines Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi everyone!

This year I won’t have any time to see the Carnival feasts, so I bring to you a view of Sines’s Carnival, at the last year.

Sines’ Carnival has a long spree and amusement tradition which dates before 1926 (so, we believe …). On the past year, this feast commemorated 49 years of realization.
For long time, it was a spontaneous act of the Sines inhabitants, but in 1956, a group of young people transforms this spontaneous action in something more organized.
From that time to ours days, this marvellous feast had suffered successive updates of conception and localization.

About Sines, it’s a small industrialized city located in Portugal’s west coast, 181kms far from Sintra and 158kms far from Lisbon, to the South. Here are installed the most important portuguese refineries.

Now, I leave you with this full coloured shot of this lovely Sines’ Carnival feasts in 2006.

Hi Rosa
A nice atmosphere. A taste of Brasil or other south American country.
Nice colors

Hello Rosa,

This is veritable symphony of colors on an impressionist artist's palette. The vantage point for the photograph is clearly optimum, as are the exposure and the sharpness. Well done,
Bulent

Wonderful colour & carnival atmosphere. Could be a bit sharper but the diffused light & low pov are great. Tfs!

cunejo200 (7243) 2007-02-18 7:50

Hi Rosa,
What a colorful scene. I like the fact that the three women have different poses and are looking at different directions. Good sharpness and DOF. Regards. Danilo

Hi, friend!
Very interesting photo with symphony of colours. Many, many colours. I think should be litle more sharpness. Interesting idea.

Hi Rosa,
Indeed a colourful and vibrant display. This low angle POV gives great perspective on the action, with a view beyond to the pastel hued buildings. Good clarity of detail and tightly framed. Well done...All the best.Demain.

Bonjour Rosa,
la carnaval était très coloré et ta photo l'est aussi, c'est dire que tu as réussi par ta capture, à nous rendre ces dernières intactes.
Une vue sympathique et festives, bien nette, qui nous plonge dans le fête.
Amitié de Belgique.

Olá Rosa,
Uma foto a propósito da época. Mas parece-me que as participantes não estavam muito contentes. Talvez o frio ;-)

Ola Rosa,
Uma bonita foto do Carnaval de Sines. Boa qualidade do trabalho. Elas parecem triste o que é um contrasenso, mas o frio talvez explique postura.

Hola Rosa.
Very good carnival scene with beautiful colors and motion, very nicely captured, your POV is great, maybe a bit more sharpness will help but this doesn't change the greatness of your shot.
Well done. TFS.

Hello Rosa.
Quite a shot...all of these bright colors in this very grey light. Not only that, but your subjects have very glum looks...what is the problem during this time of celebration? The busyness of this shot gives us an idea of the commotion going on during this festival.
The shot seems a little soft to me...maybe a problem with web posting?
Best wishes,
Chris.

Hi Rosa
Interesting moment. Beautiful colours. I wonder only why these girls are so sad...?

Só hoje é que vi este carnaval de cores e seriedade das participantes. Por acaso, não sabia da existência do Carnaval de Sines. Está muito bonita e como disse antes, muito colorida.
