ciao Filipe,
splendida vista notturna in cui le luci aumentano la bellezza dell'architettura del ponte.
Perfetto il contrasto e la resa,
saluti

Ola Filipe,

When have you made such a beautiful photo? We had no good weather. But even with the bad weather we were in a good mood and had a great time. And now we have in Poland such tragic and sad days... How things can change in only short time... Difficult to understand.

Warm regards

Malgorzata

francio64 (39888) 2010-04-11 13:58

Ciao Filipe,
eccellente effetto grafico e grande gestione delle luci in questa tua nuova foto.
Bello il riflesso del ponte sull'acqua.

Bravissimo!
Francesco

belido (19934) 2010-04-11 14:00

Olá Filipe,

estou vendo que essa ponte rende excelentes composições, inclusive à noite. Aqui a escuridão total ajudou a valorizar as formas da construção que por sua vez tem um excelente sistema de iluminação. O reflexo me parece essencial para preencher a parte inferior. Parabéns!
Abraço,
Carlos

Amico mio Filipe,
splendida notturna con un'effetto grafico stupefacente.
La composizione è perfetta col soggetto laterale, belli i colori e la gestione della luce con tutto lo sfondo nero. Eccellente la qualità.
Un caro abbraccio

buscape (6219) 2010-04-11 15:03

Hello Filipe,
wonderful night shot of this beautifully illuminated bridge. I like the symmetry of the warm lights and its reflections. Nice curve. The rest of the bridge appears in bright lines fantastically contrasted with the dark night in the background. Great composition, my compliments.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Olá Filipe!
Acho que o tempo não ajudou mesmo naquela noite, mas mesmo assim conseguiste uma boa foto, apesar de já estar bem escuro. Gosto da diagonal e dos reflexos na água! Mas onde está o WS?

Longroute (19600) 2010-04-13 7:27

This bridge is exceptional and here we have another brilliant interpretation of it so fine and spectacular. The composition is masterful and the image is highly evocative and appealing. The sense of infinite distance it coveys is so good!
An excellent work.
Best compliments,
Donato

kastanaras (1160) 2010-04-13 7:37

Ola Filipe,

Excellent composition and framing.
Amazing night shoot, with very nice lighting, very good contrast and good sharpness.
In greetings and good afternoon

Juntas (7960) 2010-04-13 9:37

Olá Filipe. Uma bela fotografia do nosso encontro :). Uma exposição excelente com boas cores e reflexos muito bons também. Gosto das linhas a sair do canto direito mas acho que podias ter feito um maior crop para eliminar um pouco da zona 'morta do lado esquerdo. Mesmo assim é uma boa foto. Um abraço.
Paulo

diomed (13926) 2010-04-13 15:25

Wowwww!
What a wonderfull night capture, Felipe!

lucasgalodoido (26944) 2010-04-13 17:57

Olá Filipe,
impressionante essa captura e iluminação da ponte, uma das mais bonitas que já vi, com certeza. Belo trabalho, amigo.
Parabéns e Abraço

josepmarin (59385) 2010-04-14 4:00

Olá Filipe,
el puente iluminado aparece en la imagen como saliendo de la oscuridad, en una excelente toma nocturna. Eso crea un bello efecto gráfico, mientras la curva y los cables de su estructura nos ofrecen una magnífica perspectiva y un fuerte grafismo.
Me gusta es resultado obtenido en tu composición.
Gran foto, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Thanks

Ole Filipe
The graphism of the bridge works well against the darkness, would look great at blue hour as well
Have a nice DAY JY

Urs (14082) 2010-04-15 9:19

Hi Filipe

An absolutely stunning night shot, congrats, that is so beautiful, perfect, I'm at loss to find words which can express what I see. Excellent photo job, keep it coming!!! Thanks for your critique of my frog shot. These farmed frogs are freshly slaughtered. My wife and myself like to it them, I think when it comes to hygiene, then Thailand is very good for Asian standards

Best regards

Hi Filipe,
love the lighting along the wires, and the orange spot lighting too.Wonderful composition, excellent light management, very good contrast and clarity, beautiful color tones, very good photo work.

JCG (35153) 2010-04-15 11:49

Hello Filipe,

A night very black which emphasizes well the lights of this bridge and accentuates its reflection. Beautiful catch of sight which creates a good perspective. Beautiful and interesting photograph and good management of the lights, well done Filipe.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

delpeoples (60326) 2010-04-16 0:03

Ola Filipe, you are an expert at photographing this magnificent bridge - it does not matter about the weather, the photo is superb. Exposition, perspective, light and sharpness - they are all here. And your TE Meeting looked like alot of fun. Thank you for sharing the "family photos". Um abbracco, Lisa

celmaleite (5010) 2010-04-16 4:47

Olá, Filipe!
Linda imagem noturna. A ponte é uma beleza, verdadeiro cartão postal da linda cidade de Lisboa. Gostei bastante da iluminação e dos reflexos dourados das luzes. Ótima foto. Parabéns!
Abraço

rodgerg (55767) 2010-04-16 12:01

Olà Filipe,

An excellent presenttaion of this famous bridge The light nad the reflections of this light in the water arise very well in the black of the night The POV well selcetd give a presnettaion very original
Amazides,
Roger

raszid62 (18457) 2010-04-16 14:27

Boa noite
Eu estava em Portugal de bicicleta, por isso não tive oportunidade de observar de perto da ponte, que é uma pena, porque é realmente muito bonito. Muito torre futurista. Muito bom tiro.
Saudações
Joseph

jafadabret (56501) 2010-04-17 5:52

Bonjour Filipe,
Cette photo est une merveille. J'aime les lignes très pures de ce pont bien illuminé dans la nuit noire. L'espace laissé au noir de la nuit à gauche de la composition fait équilibre au pont lui-même.
Amicalement
Jacques

Vasa (515) 2010-04-17 15:37

I am reading with the interest about the TE meeting, and I am admiring this formidable picture of 15 seconds. Compliments and friendship, Filipe.

Ola Filipe,
great nocturne shot with the superb clarity and sharpness,making the scene with combination with the excellent management of the lighting conditions,just magnificent.The vivid colours with its reflections on the waters and the white cables create an artistic photo,and a great contrast.Well done.

Have a nice Sunday,Danos

jhm (202939) 2010-04-18 1:49

Hello Filipe,

Lovely quality night picture.
Also the reflections are pleasant for look at.
Nice perspective and depth image.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

riclopes (35577) 2010-04-18 1:51

Oi Filipe, não imaginava a Malgorzata tão baixa. Os portugueses costumam ser mais baixos que os nórdicos ;-) Comecei pelos WSs porque gosto destes encontros e também estaria aí se não tivesse em espanha. Quanto à foto, está fabulosa. Até acho que gosto mais desta do que a outra recente que tens em hora azul. O contraste do grafismo de linhas brancas com a noite escura é fortíssimo e composição está bem feita. Bom espaço livre do lado esquerdo. Talvez deixasse um pouco menos desse espaço, descentrando o pilar da ponte.
um abraço e bom resto de fim de semana,
ricardo

Cretense (68709) 2010-04-18 4:04

Ola Filipe!

Excellent nightshot from one of your favourite subjects! Great composition and framing, excellent perspective and POV! Very good light management, although it would be better in my humble opinion if it was taken in the blue hour!

Perhaps not as good as your previous picture of the bridge but still very nice and very different from your previous shot. Perfect sharpness and detail. TFS and have a nice Sunday!

Ola Filipe,
Very beautiful shot of this bridge in the evening.
It looks like a piece of modern painting.
The extraordinary part played here the light and the place you did the picture.
The POV gave great results.
I hope that one day I will choose theTE meeting in Lisbony .
Or maybe you are coming with the same opportunity to Poland.
Regards Tomas
PS Thanks for your critique.

Hi Filipe
There are a series of curves in this shot that I find very appealing. I think I would have cropped the left side as it is pretty dark at least on my monitor.
Nicely done.
Phil

mkamionka (61176) 2010-04-21 2:00

Hi Filipe,
I have seen already great blue hour shots from this POV but I see that this place offers incredible possibilities. The dark surrounding makes a great background as well.
The effect is different. Very interesting, just certain geomentric elements were emphasized.
Very nice work

dear Filipe,
elegant night view shot of beautiful lighted bridge,
white lines of wires look illusionary,
and both orange lights on bridge and reflected on water are mysterious in this dark space,
thank you for your artistic picture,

Hi Filipe
Walking through your gallery, and this is such a stunning night shot I miss. So impessive is your compo taking the eyes right through till infinity. Excellent view point in great depth with lots of added interests and those sparkling light is so wonderful to look at shaded by the dark night sky.This is good long exposure night shot and you have achieved the result that is simply fabulous. Good white balance, crispy sharp and superb overall contrast. Beautiful water reflections just inviting us to wander around the image. Great effort, Congrats
Best regards

kiks (12805) 2012-05-10 2:40

Realy fantastic this shot. I like the off center choice and the contrast between thet lightlines of the bridge against de dark dark b. Extremly good quality.
