Ice Age Valley Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken of my early stage of my unknown ambition for landscape photography, i was trying HDR and it worked quite well, i am pleased for the cloudy weather at the time it gave a mood to the seen,

Tech data: Canon 400D, Sigma 10-20 DX at 10mm F22 shutters speed varios. merged 5 pictures with photomatix and then edited in Photoshop CS for some corrections in color and in the river.

Hi Joel,
fantastic shot ! Your composition stands out with a great POV. The small lake in the foreground gives depth to your shot. TFS
Best Regards
Manuel

This landscape contains the whole variety of shapes and colors. This variety makes it very rich and interesting.
I think personally I would like it to be sharper, but I guess it is the matter of personal preference. In any case it is beautiful.

Eu conheço este vale mas só de cima e de ter passado na estrada a caminho de Manteigas. Mas, devo admitir que a vista cá debaixo é tão espectacular como a de cima. Gosto das cores mas penso que lhe falta contraste. Outra coisa que falta realmente é a nota. O trabalho fica incompleto sem um pequena nota sobre a foto. Faz parte da praxe!!!
A propósito, bem-vindo ao TE.
António

PS. Fiz um WS rápido. Espero que gostes.

Hi Joel.

Welcome to TE and thanks for this amazing present. I think this is the kind of photo where is not necessary say "I like because...".

Well done and keep it on.

Olá Joel,
Vale glacial do Zêzere, não é?
Gosto muito destes detalhes e cores relativamente suaves.

É o maior vale glaciar da Europa. Fica na subida de Manteigas para a Serra da Estrela. É lindo, bela foto.

Hello Joel,

I like much this point of view with these natural colors.
I am not for a too thorough saturation when one is in front of such a beautiful landscape.
Best regards
LAurent
