Tropical night, a photo from Maranhao, Northeast

Photographer's Note

This was mine third night in the Len輟is Maranhehses. The place of the photo and a small town, known as Cabur�, situated in a peninsula, with the river Pregui軋s of a side and the sea of the other. Had to the difficult access it does not have telephone here, it does not exist canalized water, and the small generators of electric energy are off the 10:00PM This and an extremely calm place, Perfect to relax.

Esta foi a minha terceira noite nos Len輟is Maranhehses. O lugar da foto e um pequeno povoado, conhecido como Cabur�, situado em uma pen匤sula, com o rio Pregui軋s de um lado e o mar do outro. Devido ao dif兤il acesso aqui n縊 tem telefone, n縊 existe 疊ua encanada, e os pequenos geradores de energia el騁rica s縊 desligados as 10:00PM Este e um lugar extremamente calmo, Perfeito para relaxar.

Ol� Antonio. Beautiful night scene from the beach, in which the trees bent by the wind, the long shadows, and the atmosphere of light and colors blend into a pleasant total. Good exposure handling to render the atmosphere in this photo.

Hi Antonio, beautiful nightshot with superb colours, particularly the sky and nice palm tree silhouettes. I like the captured wind movement in the leafes of the trees. Well done!

Regards, Christian

Ola Antonio,
Very beautiful night shot. You managed very well the long exposure, that I can even feel the wind blowing against the palm trees. Very nice colours too. I wish I can visit this place sometime.
Um Abra輟,
Ricardo

Hi Antonio. I love the motion you are capturing in the trees with the 15 second exposure. The lighting is just so dramatic. Also I don't see any noise. Good shot Antonio!

Ola Antonio
Good slow shutter speed photo
it must be very windy considering the trees have come out so inclined in the 15 sec photo
thanks for sharing ... cheers ... sarju
PS: I like the colours in the sky too ... well seen

OL� Antonio,
Bons olhos o vejam pois h� tanto tempo que n縊 temandado por estes lados. Hibernou ?. Estou a brincar e um grande prazer para mim t�-lo de volta com a sua excelente obra. Pelos vistos mais uma magnifica captura do seu maravilhoso cen疵io natural Brasileiro. Lindo momento e um "shot" nocturno excelente com uma brisa agitando as palmeiras. Um dia destes vou passar a� uns dias para conhecer estes locais paradisiacos.

Fantastico, qualidade e uma grande composi鈬o. Parabens!
Um grande abra輟 e Obrigado.

Ola Antonio

Good to see a new post from you. I like the silhouettes of the coconut palms & the softness of the palm fronds in the breeze. Good color & graphism. Parabens!

Hi Antonio,
Le jeu des couleurs, des lumi鑽es et des ombres ainsi que leur contraste est spectaculaire.

Hi Antonio.
Its very nice composition here,
The sky is beautiful with its amazing colors, the movements of the trees as silhouettes is good too,
The light coming from the little house is a good detail that gives nice effect here

This is a lovely place and well photographied. A lot of detail but I think the best is the wind in the palm trees.
Very good colors and contrasts.
Compliments

Ol�. Very nice night shot. Excleent light composition. Well done.

alford (4063) 2005-10-05 1:18

Hey Antonio! It looks like you're in a long term vacation nowadays! All you're photos are of beautiful beaches! I like the shadowns and and the effect of the winds here! The blue athmosphere creates a rather lonely environment. Very good shot, another different picture from you! rgds.

jhm (211738) 2005-10-05 12:11

Hi Antonio,
A spectacular picture with the long shadows, splendid night image, maybe through the wind, its the palmtrees a few slope, the atmosphere of light and colours ist very attractive for looking.
Thanks a lot for visit,
John.

premels (2400) 2005-10-09 7:34

Hi Antonio, I like very much the dynamics of this picture: The diagonals drawn by the long shadows and the wind blowing thru the palms animate nicely the quiet landscape. Also the amazingly lit foreground adds to the depth of the compo. Great.

Beautiful night scene from the beach, in which the trees bent by the wind, the long shadows, and the atmosphere of light and colors blend into a pleasant total. But why not you crop the lower part where the shadow is disturbing the whole picture.

Ol� Antio,
O brazil est� cheio de para﨎os perdidos...
Excelente foto nocturna e linda composi鈬o com as sombras compridas. Adoro as palmeiras a esvoa軋r ao vento e o azul do c騏 com alguns farrapos de nuvens violeta. 15s de exposi鈬o resultou na perfei鈬o. Muito bom!
