Tram 28 leaving... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hi TE friends

Today, I show you a tram leaving in the very well known place of Lisbon - Alfama.

I hope you like it and I wish you a nice weekend

About the trams...

A tram, tramcar, trolley, trolleycar, or streetcar is a railborne vehicle, of lighter weight and construction than a train, designed for the transport of passengers (and, very occasionally, freight) within, close to, or between villages, towns and/or cities, on tracks running primarily on streets.

Certain types of cable car are also known as trams.
The Silesian Interurbans and the Melbourne network are claimed to be the largest tram networks in the world. During a while in the 1980s the world's largest tram system was in Leningrad, USSR, being included in Guinness World Records.

Tramways with tramcars or street railways with streetcars were common throughout the industrialised world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but they disappeared from most British, Canadian and U.S. cities in the mid-20th century. By contrast, trams in continental Europe continued to be widely used. In recent years, they have made a comeback both in many U.S. cities and throughout the world. Many newer light rail systems share features with trams, although a distinction may be drawn between the two, with the term light rail preferred if there is significant off-street running or if there are more than three cars.

Bonjour Aires,
Tu l'as peut-être vu sur mes dernières photos, j'aime beaucoup moi aussi jouer sur les poses lentes et rendre la sensation de mouvement. Une image que j'aurais bien aimé faire !
Bravo à toi. Christophe

Hola Aires.

It's not the usual picture from Lisbon and that's very good and also I love the way you chosen the long exposure and show us that tram in front of us.

Regards.

Olá Aires. Efeito espectacular o que conseguiste com o eléctrico com cores bonitas. Tenho tb uma foto desse local com 2 deles mas parados :). Adoro essas águas furtadas. Escreveste Almada em vez de Alfama na tua nota. Abraço e bom fim de semana. Paulo

Superb. It looks like a moving part of the house.

Regards my dear friend.

Ciao Aires,
come per la precedente, anche qui l'effetto dato dal passaggio del tram, movimenta bene la scena, dando colore e originalità alla foto.

Well done!
Francesco

PaulVDV (5383) 2009-09-05 10:57

Hello Aires,
Wow, a coloured comet in the streets of Lisbon !
The long exposure was a very good idea.
And the houses form a very good background for this picture.
Best regards, Paul

Ola Aires,
Op the tram just leave and the blur shape of it spread the whole scene.I like that the colours of the tram were captured so well in your shoot.Well done.

Have a nice Sunday,Danos

gervaso (5706) 2009-09-05 19:54

Olá, Aires!

Muito bom o movimento capturado com o fundo ainda aparecendo, deu um dinamismo excelente à foto! As cores estão igualmente belas! Além do ambiente, que parece ser muito agradável. Belo trabalho!

bostankorkulugu (33984) 2009-09-05 22:55

looks like it is not the tram but the red building is moving away... crazy stuff aires...

Bonjour Aires,
Then the tram is now faster than the plane!
I like very much the colored and fleeting effect produced by this long exposure time. A very good idea which you perfectly realized.
Parabéns, have a nice sunday
Diane

Olá Aires!
Parabéns, aqui foi mais difícil ainda obter esse efeito de movimento, não foi?!
O resultado visual é de arrasar!
Além da bela arquitetura lisboeta ao fundo, o bonde que se movimenta foi uma excelente ideia, muito bem realizada!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Um abraço Gonçalo

Hola Aires.

Un muy bonito efecto visual claro que si!

Un saludo!

eversmile (6443) 2009-09-07 16:21

Buenas tardes Aires!

Once again, I like very much your experimentation with blur. It seems that it is the building that is going away... very Harry Potter!!! The colors are lovely and the saturation is just perfect? Bravo!
Regards
Marine
