Puerto Madero Photo

Photographer’s Note

Its the East region of Buenos Aires, full of atractions to the tourism. The old port of Buenos Aires was revitalized and transformed to be an important center to the tourism, specially at night when its many restaurants are the main attraction.
The docks are now restaurants and residential lofts that preserve the old architecture British style. I wasn't lucky to have a nice meal trying two nights of dinner in two of those restaurants, but you can try yours, because the view is beautiful like this. (the meal was not really bad, as well. But we can find better restaurants out there.)

In the right is the "Fragata Sarmiento"
School Boat from the Argentinian Navy. The boat is more than 100 years old and it was one of the most fasts from its age, needing a crew of 90 sailors to take its sails up. It is possible to visit the boat and it is very nice!

I haven´t any tripod with me, but I used the upper side of a fence to support my camera.

Regards,
Zeca

Hola Zeca.
Good night shot of the popular place in Buenos Aires, I would prefer to take it during the blue hours so we can see better the separation of the building with the sky in a better way but any way your night shot is very good. I was there just last October, good restaurants with very good "bife".
Well done.
TFS.
Best wishes.

Bom dia Zeca
Fantástica tua foto noturna cheia de luzes coloridas no meio das sombras da noite.Os reflexos estão maravilhosos. Uma foto mágica, na verdade.
Abraços
Maria

belido (17203) 2008-07-07 4:15

Olá Zeca,

tá muito bonito esse jogo de luzes. Acho que fez bom uso do reflexo sobre a água prá duplicar esses pontos de luz. Eu geralmente não levo tripé, também. Principalemente quando o propósito não é a fotografia, em sim o turismo em si, etc. A imagem está nítida e cristalina. Muito bem executada. Parabéns!
Abraço,
Carlos
PS: o jeito é o cafezinho, mesmo...até segunda ordem :)

Hello Jose,
It is a beautiful image where the lights draw the night. It is an image of Argentina far from emblematic the tango. The image is of excellent quality. Beautiful and good work.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Regads, gerrit

Hello José,

This his the most difficult pictures as night image, through the almost completely dark moment.
I like the enlightenment of the buildings and the reflections in water, this gives a nice composition and very attractive photograph.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Jose,
a wonderful night shot, all these different colors and these reflections in the water, great! I like your composition, the placement of the sailing boat is very good and the handling of the exposure absolutely perfect. You did a great job, as usual!

Take care
Mark

feather (50588) 2008-07-07 8:00

You handled the exposure on all the lights beautifully. In particular I like the reflections on the water. Maybe a blue hour shot would have been preferable, but when travelling we can't always be there at the right time. I am impressed you managed this without a tripod. Well done

Jose,
Excellent night shot, I love the string of light reflecting in the water, very lovely atmosphere. really great without a tripod, I can image how much better it would be with. Great composition and overall good quality and very enjoyable. Thanks for the effort.

Well done

avene (11252) 2008-07-09 3:40

another interesting photo, Zeca, it's almost an abstraction, and I quite like that we only see the lights that indicate the shapes of the buildings and ships. the reflections work very well to emphasise the dream-like mood of the place, excellent work.

regards,
Kristine

cfreire (11677) 2008-07-09 6:20

Oi, Zeca
Bonita foto da terra de los hermanos. Ficou bem gráfica, a fragata representada pela silhueta luminosa, e os reflexos deram o atratismo especial à captura. Bonito trabalho. Abraço, Consuelo

axiotea (16359) 2008-07-09 7:37

Olà Zeca
The colorful lights and their reflection are contrasting well with the dark elements and I like the garland hanging on the mast of the boat which is a nice detail to look at. The water texture is also superb!
Cheers from India

Hello Jose Augusto,
indeed this part of the old port of Buenos Aires must be splendid as i see in your spectacular nocturne shot.Excellent presentation of the scene with the reflections of the artificial lights to be well managed.The sharpness and the clarity are unique.Well done.

Have a nice day,Danos

delkoo (35058) 2008-07-10 1:01

hi josé
Once more you won the challenge managing to take a picture without tripod, and you have got a very interesting result with lovely reflections looking like firework.

Hello Jose Augusto,
This is an excellent night shot!I like very much the light exposure and how nice the night colors reflected on the water.Very well seen and captured!
Greetings,
Thomas

stego (22500) 2008-07-10 4:09

Olá Zeca,
Excelente luz e nitidez, apesar de não ter usado tripé. É uma bela perspectiva nocturna. Tenho a impressão de que já vi a fragata à vela aqui em Lisboa, mas nunca a visitei. Se é a que estou a pensar, é dos veleiros mais bonitos que alguma vez vi.
Um abraço, José.

batalay (21422) 2008-07-10 15:06

Hello José,

In April, I see, you were in Buenos Aires, and what a superb shot you've taken here. For a night shot, the light management is excellent. In 1996 I was briefly in Monte Video, and had to change a flight before heading back to the United States. I remember well that there was an announcement in Spanish by the pilot. I asked the flight attendant and asked what the pilot said, and her response was "Sorry, but you and I are the only two people on the plane who don't speak Spanish." A little later, she came back and told me what the pilot had announced. Just a few rows behind me, a woman had given birth to a baby, while flying over the Amazon Jungles.

Um abraco,

Bulent

Ola Zeca
Uma excelente foto nocturna tendo em conta as dificuldades com a luminosidade.
Excelentes detalhes e cores
Um abraço e bom fim de semana
Aires

npecanhuk (15212) 2008-07-13 21:07

Olá Zeca!
Uma foto noturna muito bem tirada... aliás, o que você não faz bem em termos fotográficos!
Mais uma de que gostei muito de sua galeria!
Parabéns!
Neyvan

Stepan (27175) 2008-07-19 13:32

A little dark but I guess this looks as real as it was there at that moment. The light management is ok to me and the place looks cool (a kind of holidays mood).

Zeca,
O controle de exposição está uma beleza para mostrar todas essas interessantes formas. Trabalho de mestre, amigo.

Abraço
