Start 3 Posts at Horta in Faial Island, a photo from Acores, Islands

Photographer's Note

IMPORTANT NOTE: Now in my Photo Information YOU have two WS-Workshop with a first picture that shows the place and the hotel and near Marina where I stay and the other a complementray nice view in the boat "Fisherman" that I travelleded to see dolphins and the Sea nature. PLEASE tell me what you like more of the three!

If You want to see the Local where I took this picture I give a Google Map with a reference CAMERA ICON here: Link

In my previous shot I post a distant view of Horta the main village of Faial Island situated in Azores. Now I will post this recent pictures about Faial Marina that is a important place in Atlantic ocean.

This Island is located in the vast Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America.

This picture was taken with good time at early morning with the sun near 90 degrees at right as you can see in the picture and also near to my approach angle when I took this moment before a dolphin catch view near Pico Island at 25 minutes from this place.

These two Islands Faial and Pico are part of the five Central Islands, that are visited all the year for several thousand of tourists and sea navigators from all the world. It's like a world navigation network!

For a great reference you can see my previous post about this new Serie here: Link

SECOND note: My current Travel Serie would be these particular Atlantic Island with harmonious mountains, sea scenery, walles and dolphins, cows with milk and excelent cheese for all the world, great wonderfull volcanic sceneries and nature and I will try to catalog in different selective ways to post.

This is a natural and preserved Island that have Sailors, Solitaire navigators and the important world and preserved Sportiv Game-Fishing with people linked to United States, Canada, Brazil and also naturally to Continental Portugal.

THIRD Note: I finished my holidays and the Upload of this post was made now from my home. Sorry for my delay in posts and critiques. As soon as possible I will do my best.

Thanks to ALL of YOU and I hope that a must of all TE members like this new approach.

Thanks in advance and the best for you all.
Fernando

Hi Fernando,
Excellent composition,the details of the boat are "framing" the perspective to the island in the background.Sharpness,dof and clarity in this picture are amazing.
The shots in the Ws are a nice addition.
greetings,
hermann

Antes sequer de comentar a foto, tenho de agradecer a tua participaçao no TE, o teu empenho e dedicaçao sao um exemplo para todos os membros mais novos onde eu me insiro... nem em periodo de ferias deixas de dar uma palavra aqueles que se habituaram a ver as tuas fotos.

Relativamente a foto esta tudo bem, as cores e definiçao, vejo que tiveste sorte com o tempo.

Sinceramente espero que te estejas a divertir.

Um abraço,
Mario

singuanti (15250) 2005-08-18 22:05

Hi Fernando. All of the shots are good and I can't really pick my favorite. You handled shooting into the bright sun well. I like how much of the boat and pilot you have included. Good work Fernando!

papagolf21 (152607) 2005-08-19 5:34

Gosto do ponto de vista e da composiçăo.Boas cores,luminosidade e texturas.Gosto do contraste entre a terra e o mar.A pessoa é um bom elemento.Bom trabalho!

jjbach (9326) 2005-08-19 6:38

Hi Fernando,
Very nice compostion with beautiful colours and lighting. I like the POV, the great details of the boat and of course the depth. Excellent perspective!!

Regards John

jhm (211738) 2005-08-19 7:02

Hi Fernando,
Your question, my answer: I find the first picture most beautiful, the depth is very nice, nice what perspective and fantastic colours, also I can enjoy of the other pictures. Excellent series from your holiday.
Have a nice weekend Fernando.
Greetings,
John.

Olá Fernando,
Se a "entrada" é assim interessante, imagino o "prato principal". Ficou muito boa a foto tirada do barco, a ilha parece ter belezas a revelar, pois já avista-se muito verde. As cores estăo ótimas. A foto complementar está excelente, com a marina e o hotel. Estou aguardando as próximas.
Abraços
Leonor

Emile (20352) 2005-08-19 10:27

Hola Fernando.
Me gusta mucho el foco que conseguiste a nivel del bote y el DOF de la montańa y el faro.
Las tres fotos estan muy buenas, es dificil decidirse por una en especial, creo que cada una tiene sus buenos detalles.
Felicitaciones

weswang (18247) 2005-08-19 10:50

Hi Fernando, It looks that you have a good time on the Ocean cruise around. This is a fun photo. I wish I could be there :D
I like the great view provided in this picture. I feel that the glare is a little bothersome. I have done a WS, simply to have the glare on the top of that guys head removed. Hope you dont mind.
This is a well taken facing the sun picture with nice clarity and sharpness. Nice shot. I like it.

wilkinsonsg (8662) 2005-08-19 12:30

Nice POV - I like #3 the best as the flare is a little distracting :)

nwoehnl (122) 2005-08-19 16:02

Nice and privileged perspective in this one, Fernando - it almost puts us into the "co-pilot" position beside the boat owner. The boat details in the foreground are well used to frame the coastal landscape and the lighthouse coming up in the background. Also a good effort in terms of balancing the exposure. The WS photos are nice, too. Good work.

apache (1426) 2005-08-19 19:21

Hi Fernando,
A very good view of the island from behind the boatman. And very good travel notes. I like the blue sky contrasting with the green hills of the island. A very choosen shot
Thanks for sharing

Olá Fernando
Espero que tenhas contra-partidas pela publicidade da HortaCetáceos (t-shirt do marinheiro)! Assim torna-se mais fácil conhecer o mundo! ;-)
Gosto da perspectiva quase uma janela!
Muito boa definiçăo e nitidez.
O Continente espera por ti! Nós sabemos que os patrocínios săo sol de pouca dura!! ;-)
Fica bem
Filipe

ChrisJ (172408) 2005-08-20 3:33

Hi Fernando

I like the long 'tongue', of green land sandwiched between the 2 halves of the boat. Excellent sharpness & color. Well done!

elihesamian (26149) 2005-08-20 5:48

A very nice dynamic shot,vivid and lively and fresh,with excellent details (specially in far) that it returns to using DOF perfectly,great POV and very well captured,I like it,nicely composed,Fernando,Thanks,
Best Wishes

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-08-20 6:25

Ah, Fernando, I did not know whom you had married a Greek ship-owner daughter to have such a beautiful and rich boat:-)))
The plan is well made with this splendid sight in front of the boat.
The color and environment are excllent

feather (51130) 2005-08-20 8:58

I enjoyed looking at all 3 photos and I think if I have a favourite it is the 2nd one with the lady in the foreground, if only because there is more scenery to see beyond the boat. Does this help you?

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-08-20 9:58

The patterns on the far side of the land is amazing, very good shot of the foreground with the person and the boat, nice light work too, well done

lukkul (510) 2005-08-20 11:03

Olá Fernando,
Espero que tenhas tido uma boas Ferias no Faial e Pico. Como a Leonor diz eu tambem espero ver o que de futuro nos vais mostrar dentro do teu estilo. Pessoalmente gosto bastante desta perspectiva tăo bem focalizada bem como das restantes fotos complementares. Talvez também a segunda poderia ser uma excelente alternativa ao post principal.

Bom trabalho e um abraço.
Luis

oochappan (4880) 2005-08-20 23:14

Nice framing with the man and the boat as window to this view on the land in a clear blue sky, good composed.

snuggleaphagus (4146) 2005-08-21 15:31

Um timo enquadramento com uma composicao genial. As cores estao lindas e a ilha ao longe tem um nitidez fantastica.
Soe epena o jelho da pessoa a esquerda mas o um pormenor minusculo em comparacao com o restod a foto que esta realmente espetacular.
Parabens.
Uma boa semana

john_c (24666) 2005-08-23 9:36

Hi Fernando,
An interesting and well composed shot which allows us to visit right in the centre of the action. I like how you have framed the scene and shown the slice of horizon. The POV is just excellent as is the DOF. Very intimate and appealing. Well done.
John

Didi (61589) 2005-08-23 13:33

Olŕ Fernando
Le marin est parfaitement positionné sur un point fort, ce qui donne un intéret tout particulier ŕ cette composition.
Vous devez continuer ŕ utiliser les points forts.
Je note aussi une bonne maîtrise de l'exposition.

Olŕ Fernando
O Marín é posicionado perfeitamente sobre um ponto extremamente, o que dá um interesse muito específico ŕ esta composiçăo. Deve continuar a utilizar os pontos fortes. Noto também um bom controlo da exposiçăo.

mumek (20226) 2005-08-23 18:56
