Another popular cow art Photo

Photographers Note

Nr. 6 of this series.
As you can see in here the popularity of the cows are high and everybody wants to shoot them.
I used the same borrowed new camera Olympus E-300, lens EZ 14-45.

This cow is in Chiado (central downtown) and is one the 101 works that are spread around the city.
I don't know any of those photographers, but the one in front of the cow seems a bit professional and could be someone from TE.
I like also the reflections in the background, although the picture lacks a bit of a better lighting, as the whole scene was at the shadow.

I took a closer shot of the photographer which you can see in WS.

Urrrgh! It's got a spider on its bottom. For that (silly) reason only I prefer the WS. I'm a big silly arachnophobic and don't even like pictures of them. I should go to aversion therapy as I make myself angry. I'll try and blank it out while I have another look.
I agree with you the other photographers add lots of interest to the picture. I like the reflections in the window on the left as the cow is pointing to them with her horn. Apart from the spider it's a good shot. Actually the photographer in the WS becomes the subject because of the tight crop and I don't think that was your intention.

Bom-dia Ricardo, muito efectivamente é decorada esta vaca uma verdade trabalha de artista, da mesma maneira que estes personagens ambos os que utilizam de maneira bem diferente o aparelho fotográfico, mim gosta efectivamente da comparaçăo, muito bom reflexo igualmente nas montras, bem cordialmente

Olá Ricardo,
Has captado perfectamente la gran atracción que genera el "arte vacuno" en las calles de Lisboa. Los fotógrafos están por todos lados, unos más "profesionales" que otros, y en tu foto se aprecia muy bien este detalle.
Me gusta más ésta foto original en un plano más abierto que el WS, ya que, además de ver a tres fotógrafos, se ven más y buenos reflejos de la escena en los cristales.
Bien iluminada, con buenos colores y con mucha definición.
Buena serie.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hi Ricardo
I love this shot as it made me smile. I like your series of cows and donkeys. I am now tempted to go to the country and do a series myself!!! Great clarity here and a clever inclusion of the other photographers. Very good work.

Hi Ricardo
A fine view from that parade - I like the sight of fellow photographers getting their best angle. One for the theme indeed - Thanks

Hi Ricardo...
Moment well captured, my friend!
The cows are popular, no wonder since they are very good looking!
I like your framing, and you capture the scenery with great colours and fine details... Pleasing diagonal composition!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hola Ricardo.
I believe that here even being blurred, the main characters of the photo are the photographers.
Also is a good continuation of your serie of cows' photos.
Good and also sometimes fun, sometimes interesting.

Carlos.

Viva, mais uma vaca!
O mais engraçado nesta imagem é que parece que a vaca está a fazer-se ŕ fotografia.
Acho que també ficaste nas fotos dos outros e eles agora estarăo a fazer comentários parecidos com o teu ;-)

PJE (19483) 2006-06-05 21:28

Ricardo both shots are great but I would have to agree with you on the workshop showing closer details of the photographer in action. Very interesting photo Ricardo!

Angshu (34075) 2006-06-05 23:53

Hi Ricardo...I like the WS better..close to the cow & point of interest being the photographer. Here it's a clear picture, with good reflections & human subjects, but I would complain about not taking the full body of the cow, leaving a plenty of space (which IMO is non contributing) on the top. This is quite a good POV, but...
Regards
Angshu

A photo of photographers! I like it! Nice composition with the cow so close. It's almost a subjective shot; we feel close to the cow.

Hehe, poor cow, everyone want to photograph her and she cannot go away...;). Nice composition with reflections in the windows.
Regards

Hi Ricardo,
good POV making the photographers the main subject.
thanks and regrads, Gerrit

Hello Ricardo,

Hej Ricardo,
Another wonderful cow-shot! But I like our colleagues around the cow also a lot. The POV is good and the cow placed well in the composition. As you say the reflections in the background are nice too. Good work!
Hilsen,
Lars

alvaraalto (5301) 2006-06-07 17:51

Hi Ricardo,
I looked accurate the camera of the kneeling photographer, but that is definitely not a Samsung pro 815. I hope you will enjoy this multi-use all in one camera just as I do. (almost a reflex camera without the need to change lenses all the time)

aralda (1240) 2006-06-28 12:13

Hi Ricardo,
I see you captured not only the cows but also several photographers each time. It's nicer this way.
I like this POV too; this time the cow really seems to be striding forward.

Ola Ricardo!
Gosto dos belos detalhes dos desenhos no animal, uma textura linda. Interessante tambem a tietagem dos fotografos.
Abraços.

Isaw all the pictures of this cow and now I have a better image about it, yes you are rigth the guy in front wiht grey hair looks more professional. I like the cpiture when the couple is passing by too, and where the old lady shows.

I like colors, the street and the way you show is the daily life in Lisboa.

Thanks

Good morning

Elias
