chemical plant, a photo from Aveiro, North

Photographer's Note

Aveiro is a medium city (for a "Portuguese scale") surrounded by water, inserted in a lagoon zone and it mixes typical landscape with large industrial plants. This is a sightseen of the Chemical plant of the Aveiro's port.

I took this shot last august, a couple of minutes after the sunset. The colors are real, (and it was the most significant aspect to me) and that "thing" kept my attention. The light reflexes on the water and the composition, were relegated to second plan. The most important was to fix that dark blue sky before complete darkness.

I think I did it...

Wonderful night shot, Matias. I like the two groups of 3 light each, reflected in the blue water. a little bit grainy sky, but I guess it doesn't matter too much.
Very well done.

Fine composition in a delicate light setting. Well done

Avigur didn´t see that there are also three oiltanks and three round things (gastanks?) on the right. The grouping of things in three makes a nice repetition. Are you sure that it is not just a little too blue?

You don't see a blue sky like that verry often. I'm glad you managed to catch it. I really like the refections in the water. it is really blue, but i like it. The ony thin distracting me is the darke thing sticking out onthe right hand side. I did a WS where i cropped it of so you can see the difference.

I agree with you about your timing and waiting for the moment to truly capture the explosion of blue ,the refinerys lights add a focal point in this study, suggest small crop to right side (island) and even smaller to bottom r/h corner but this would be nitpicking on a fine capture well done

Realmente este azul é espectacular! E os reflexos das luzes na água ajudam a torna-lo mais intenso.

Um elemento curioso é a frequęncia de elementos em grupos de tręs. Os dois conjuntos de tręs postes de iluminaçăo, os tręs reservatórios de petróleo, os tręs reservatórios de gás. Acho que traz uma harmonia muito subtil ŕ foto.
