Cascais by night from the beach Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was walking in the Cascais beach, near the water, and I stopped to look around. In background we can see the 16th-century Fort of Cascais known as the Cidadela was built to protect the Bay of Cascais.

It is part of a whole line of fortresses along the Tagus estuary which were built to protect Lisbon from being invaded. Close by is the Museu do Mar depicting the story of Cascais and its fishing history and has a vast range of exhibits including old maps, articles of fishermen's clothing, model boats and pieces of treasure salvaged from ships wrecked in the surrounding waters.

Cascais is situated on a coastline with small picturesque beaches and peaceful fishing-boat-bobbing waters. It was once a small village that has grown in size and popularity in recent years to become one of the more attractive resorts and places to reside on the capital's coastline. It transition to tourism started in 1870, when the royal court first came here for the summer, bringing a train of nobility in its wake.

Olá Aires,
Adoro o resultado desta experiência. Artística e de forte impacto visual. Um blur e o efeito ritmado e luminoso estão fantásticos. Quase que me sinto tonto a boiar na água. Muito Bom. Parabéns!
Uma boa semana para ti,
Ricardo
p.s.- anterior também está boa e lembra-me algumas muito semelhantes que eu tenho. Boa série de Cascais e boas notas informativas também.

Hi Aires
this is an amazing effect you have captured here. I like the tones and colours; it looks a lot like treacle! The rows of orange lights reflect wonderfully on the water and the spotlights give a nice pattern. Good pov to point the camera downward and exclude most of the building. Nice capture.
