Sunset view from my house, a photo from Porto, North

Photographer's Note

Yes, it´s just another sunset! Well but if you think a little sunsets are never the same, they look the same, it´s "just" the sun going down, leaving to us a cold or warm night, it depends, but the diference is the feeling that made the photographer took the picture, the atmosphere around the sun, the place where you saw it, every little thing counts! I´ve seen sunsets almost equal to others but there was always something diferent! This one i saw from my window! I was actually looking and criticising some pictures on T.E. when the outdoor light came into my room and called my attention! I imediatly knew what was it, then picked up the camera, open the window and saw it, strong, yellow, warm, almost behind that crane, calling for my attention! The light behind the window on the right also looked nice to shot...so i did it!
I enjoy sharing this moments with all T.E. members and hope you will share your thoughts and critics with me!

Mmmm... I can never have to much of sun sets or sun rises (Well, sun rises mabye, that depends on how early it is and how late i stayed up, always plesent on TE though :)). Thanks for sharing Bruno, picture and thoughts. You have a lovley view from you windoe. Is that the ocean behind the house and crane? I think i can see something glitter there but i'm not sure of what it is. Still like it though.

Seem to be out of points, I'll be back tommorow/sunday/or monday. :) :)

I am not a fan of sunrise or sunsets :) but I love this one as it has these elements that makes it "dry" for me...two unlike buildings and a crane and the fact that it is from your house...
your note is very close to me too..many mornings I try to catch my 3,5 yr old son waiting for the school minibus on the street...pictures that connect both ends are very precious I guess..

Nice casual shot, Bruno. 'Just another sunset' is brought to life by your personal note. The crane looks like it is holding on to the sun. Nice urbanistic composition, I like it!

And I just learned with a picture of Dominique that was when cold air from West is comming, there was such amazing colors in the sky. Apprently, this week, cold air arrived in all Europe and there is a lot colorful sunset... but you are right. They give each us a different feeling.

As it is beautiful! At us in Russia speak "Well there where we are not present" and correctly speak!:)) the Excellent shot, beautiful and warm. Romanticism as a hobby:)

I agree with your sentiments on this one! For me, sunsets always remind me of God and how amazing He is at doing art! As you say, every day is different! Glad you showed us. Technically, it is very good - no grain, great colours and intersting composition. Well done. "Pure Gold"!

Adorei as cores! De facto, as fotos do pôr do sol nunca săo de mais!

Gosto do enquadramento.
A grua, apesar de ser um elemento despropósito, neste caso nem fica mal!
Tons quentes e agradáveis.
Ficou muito bem a transparęncia da janela do prédio do lado direito.
Esta óptima.

Very strong ambient colours here, I can feel the warmth from this pic. Really well done

manny (22032) 2004-03-27 4:40

This is a beautiful picture. Any filter used?

The composition is very good withthe crane a sthe focal point. Everything here seems to be well-measured. Very very good!

Interesting how even a crane looks glorious if the sun is seen setting behind it ;-) That's a very beautiful shot, Bruno. The golden colors in the sky are splendid to look at, and the unlikely subject of a crane is well placed and framed by the buildings on either side. I like how the light in the building on the right matches the overall dominant yellow tone. Not a bad place to live at, 500 meters away from the Ocean ... Well done!

Nice view from your home Bruno. Very nice capture!
Well done.

Urban sun for a gold color, the city can also be beautiful.

c_kyr (1810) 2004-03-27 11:08

It may be another sunset but it is a great sunset Bruno!
Very nice colors on the sky and great view of the dark buildings and structures.
Very well done!

Ao contrário do bfly, eu sou fanático pelo pôr-do-sol (e tb do nascer do sol, apenas năo me consigo levantar a horas)!Esta foto espelha bem a beleza natural que se pode entontrar em paisagens urbanas, onde normalmente năo pensamos que possa haver... As cores săo realmente fantáscicas e o pormenor da janela do vizinho tb é brilhante!Parabéns!
