The colors of Manaus, a photo from Amazonas, North

Photographer's Note

The Port of Manaus is a riverport located in Negro River in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. The Port of Manaus is an important commercial center for ocean-going vessels traveling the Amazon. In fact, it is the main transport hub for the entire upper Amazon Basin. It imports beef from the hinterlands and exports hides and leather. Important industries in the Port of Manaus include manufacturing of soap, chemicals, electronics equipment as well as shipbuilding, brewing, and petroleum refining.

Several mobile phone companies have manufacturing plants in the Port of Manaus, and other major electronics manufacturers have plants there. Major exports include Brazil nuts, chemicals, petroleum, electrical equipment, and forest products, and eco-tourism is an increasingly important source of income for the city. The recent discovery of petroleum in the area brings great promise of further wealth and commerce to the Port of Manaus.

With so much industry and commerce, the Port of Manaus has become a sophisticated cosmopolitan center. Located next to the Amazon rain forest, it also attracts crowds of tourists who find a variety of land and boat trips into the jungle. Wildlife is plentiful, even within the city, and it is home to the Pied Tamarin, one of Brazil's most endangered primates. Tour boats take visitors to see the point where the black waters of the Rio Negro meet the Solims River's brown waters, flowing together without mixing for nine kilometers. Tourists can find many hotels in the jungle where they can enjoy nature in comfort.

Uma simples vista do porto de Manaus, um local facinante por suas cores e movimenta鈬o. O destaque vai para essas gaiolas que partem para as mais variadas localidades durante dias nos rios, � impressionante a quantidade de redes e tipos de cargas tranportadas nesses barcos. Essa regi縊 do porto � o melho local para aluguel de barcos para passeios, direto com os barqueiros, fugindo assim dos careiros pacotes de agentes de turismo, que est縊 espalhados por toda a cidade. Calor forte na regi縊...

Ol� Lucas,

Benvindo do Norte ao nosso conv咩io!
Bonita imagem do cais do porto de Manaus. Al� tem ainda muito trabalho manual para fazer, devido ao movimento ribeirinho. Os gaiolas enfileirados criaram uma boa perspectiva. Cores e luz excelentes.

Muitas fotos do Amazonas! E essa pegou bem a ess麩cia do cais do porto, com muitas cores e movimenta鈬o das pessoas. Realmente o calor � bravo, tanto que se diz que existem duas esta鋏es por l�: o ver縊 e o inferno!

fabianoleite (13575) 2009-08-19 18:24

Essa foto do cotidiano de Manaus ficou legal, com destaque para o Gervaso carregando os sacos de a鋺car. A Celma acenando do barco tamb駑 ficou legal. Boas cores. Grandes perspectivas.

Ol� Lucas,
desde esta escalera tu punto de vista nos da una imagen din疥ica y con buena perspectiva, en una escena cotidiana del puerto muy bien plasmada en tu foto.
Los colores vivos hacen que esta foto sea muy brillante, sobre todo los tonos amarillos que la dominan.
Buen trabajo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

um porto fluvial, mas nem por isso menos intenso o movimento que se observa.
Sua tomada em profundidade deste "corredor" a beira do rio ficou imo.
Parab駭s e abra輟s,

Linda, Lucas!
Voc� escolheu muito bem a tua foto de abertura do tema.
N縊 havia notado esse ch縊 borrado de amarelo at� v�-lo aqui. A profundidade de campo � ima, v�-se at� o final do pier.

Voc� chegou a mudar o hor疵io na cam?

Bonjour Lucas,

Hi Lucas,
All the yellows and blues blend splendidly in the buys river town.
Love the hustle of this lovely harbor and the three tier river boats,
Very clear true colors with excellent sharpness and a fine note about this busy spot on the river.
Regards, Tom

jwmunro (286) 2009-08-22 10:11

Hello Lucas -

I like this daily life scene with the complementary colors or yellow and blue throughout the scene. There are two things about the composition that are distracting IMO. One, the pipes on the right side - they add little to the scene and could be cropped. Two, I think I might have waited for the traffic on the stairs to clear, especially the hand and shirt sleeve, before capturing the image. The two men heading toward the stairs are OK, especially the one with yellow sleeves with the black and yellow cap. Well seen.

Thank you for sharing.

John

O porto de Manaus � de facto muito movimentado e todo o ambiente do rio com estes barcos s縊 imagens 佖icas. At� o rio e destinos de viagem dever縊 ser de sonho. Me lembro da chalana a caminho do Pantanal e a beleza das artistas neste mundo natural. Tenho que come軋r a pensar neste destino. Cumprimentos. Domingos

riclopes (35577) 2009-08-25 2:39

Bela captura do dia a dia no porto, Lucas. Excelente perspectiva vertical, boa sensa鈬o de profundidade. Aquela pessoa com os dois sacos 灣 costas � um bom elemento no meio deste pontuar de amarelos.
Vejo que a 'nossa' c穃ara continua a dar cartas ;-)
um abra輟,

Wonderful colors of Manaus, the dominating yellow gave a nice shine to the port scenery.
Fine picture of the vibrant pier, Lucas, and the note written describe well the action there.
I saw already several TV programs about this town, the tours in the Amazonas lands and waterway, and some movies about. Always intriguing.
Bom fim de semana,
Ike

A lively river port where richness of colors and vivid detail make this daily life shot attractive with engaging characters popping up within the setting. A moment well grabbed keeping the main interest sharp in focus, a place with the feel of local atmosphere. Wonderful snap to this fascinating scene of everyday life. Great lens work, Congrats
