A Path Between Two Islands, a photo from Acores, Islands

Photographer's Note

In my previous shots I post some approach sceneries and landscapes of the beautiful S.Miguel Island situated in Azores. Now I will post my recent pictures about Faial and Pico, two nice and also beautiful Islands in the Portuguese archipel that is situated in the vast Atlantic Ocean somewhere half a way between Europe and North America.

This picture was taken with good time at morning with the sun up and backword when I was crossing from Horta the main town of Faial to Madalena a small village in Pico Island, where is situated the highest Portuguese mountain. You can see Horta at distance in the picture.

This place is near Madalena and have two great rocks in the Sea. One is called STAND UP and the other STAND DOWN.

These two Islands that are part of the five Central Islands, are visited all the year for several thousand of tourists.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Here in my Photo Information YOU have a WS-Workshop with a picture taken five minutes before for a complementary shot and information.

My current Travel Serie would be these two 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 Sportiv Game-Fishing with people linked to United States, Canada, Brazil and also naturally to Continental Portugal.

Today 14/Aug/2005 is the last day of a year weekly event in FAIAL Island - The SEA Week.

Note: I'm in holidays and the Upload this post from Faial. 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

Wow... great perspective as the boat leaving. Excellent depth also, with the town between these two rocks. I like this POV, very effective. Splendid shot Fernando with perfect lighting and crisp clarity!!

Albrecht (11283) 2005-08-14 9:37

Powerful shot, Fernando. Force of water, and beautiful contrasting, foamy waves and rocks.

danyy (0) 2005-08-14 13:04

Bonjour Fernando,
beaucoup de fraicheur dans cette ιcume, qui donne l'impression d'en entendre le bruit. Ces blans se mιlangent trθs bien avec les bleus intenses.
Une photo trθs nette et bien cadrιe.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Regressou!, e com uma foto maravilhosa com lindas.
A foto tem um luminosidade fantastica e uma nitidez maravilhosa. Os respingos de agua estao otimos acho que o teclado ja esta molhado.
Uma maravilha esta foto.

Fixfocus (9385) 2005-08-14 17:17

Hello Fernando,
Wow,what a dynamic perspective along the waves from the boat and between the two rocks to Horta.Beautiful light and colors in this shot.It looks like a great place for holidays and I hope that you are enjoying yours!
greetings,
hermann

JorgeJacinto (1033) 2005-08-14 18:43

Uma imagem bastante
interessante, com movimento,boa
cor e definiηγo!

leonorkuhn (16237) 2005-08-14 18:51

Olα Fernando,
Jα estava com saudades. Que beleza! Eu tambιm gosto muito da esteira de espuma formada pelos barcos em movimento. A perspectiva ficou muito boa e a captura destes rochedos em segundo plano deu muita vida ΰ composiηγo. Parabιns e boas fιrias.
Abraηos,
Leonor

ajcsousa (1804) 2005-08-14 19:57

A fotografia estα espectacular. Cores, luz, detalhes tudo :). O efeito causado pe rasto do barco estα magnνfico.

singuanti (15250) 2005-08-14 20:01

Hi Fernando. Well I'm assuming Stand down is on the left and Stand Up is on the right. This was a great idea to take a shot off the back of the boat like this. I am impressed with the clarity. Good shot Fernando!

ChrisJ (171220) 2005-08-15 3:30

Hi Fernando

I like the superb 'x' shaped crossover, of the waves. Good color & sharpness (especially considering the speed). Parabens!

weswang (18247) 2005-08-15 4:43

Hi Fernando, This is a beautiful shot. I like the dynamics provided in this picture. The two small islands look like guards greeting you boat. You have done an excellent job to take this picture in a moving boat. The picture is very clear, sharp with nice contrast. Well done, my friend.

lukaszb (338) 2005-08-15 7:55

Ola Fernando,
I really like this picture,
Splendid how you caught the wave,
I really appreciate your work, because as I, on my holidays, was on the boat, I couldn't catch the wave in the right moment,
One of my favorite photos,
Thanks for sharing,
Łukasz

betogrein (2232) 2005-08-15 9:16

Linda composiηγo, belas cores e as espumas que formam nα αgua ficou muito bom. O segundo plano com as pedras ficou excelente.
Obrigado pela visita.

wilkinsonsg (8662) 2005-08-15 12:28

Now that is what I call an image - fine shot, sharp and with great clarity - some fantastic wave patterns too :)

Graal (103040) 2005-08-15 14:38

Hi Fernando,
nice colours of water and three waves. Good composition. I like the sharpness, too. Well done.
Rgs, Aleksander

bantonbuju (51815) 2005-08-15 15:29

j.
ps. next year portugal for holiday, setteled

Jeppe (18654) 2005-08-15 17:16

Wow Fernando - I seldom seen this kind of action on the water - the fine stern wave and the composition with the rocks gives a very fine perspective and the feeling of movement - thanks a lot for this fine view

Regards
Jeppe

Well built aroud the lines in the water.
Good colors and a strong styled image.

faraujo (1707) 2005-08-15 19:46

Olα Fernando
Que limpidez, e profundidade de campo incrementada pela espuma da αgua.
Ι sem dϊvida uma das suas melhores fotos dos Aηores.
Obrigado por estas excelentes sιries deste nosso Arquipιlago. O Faial e o Pico vγo-nos deliciar!

A clear sharp beautiful shot Fernando, nice those two rocks flanking the the houses of the village on the land. A perfect quality shot.
Greetings
Henk

aloyho (6798) 2005-08-16 8:25

Hi Fernando,
A dynamic shot with beautiful formation of the waves. The going-off-for-a-holiday mood is very strong and I love the beautiful blue of the water. The two islands balanced the composition well. Excellent shot!! Enjoy your holidays.

bibiweb (8) 2005-08-18 15:34

Hello Fernando,
Beautiful picture! I really like the contrast between the two islands and the very dynamic water in the foreground. John is right, it is a bit tilted but nothing serious...
Have a nice day!
Brigitte

sergecross (3438) 2005-08-19 7:57

Fernando, nice picture, i like the beautiful islands and the background looks great.
Magnific view and colors, beautiful mountains.
I had a trip, but i came.
Thanks
sergio

elihesamian (26149) 2005-08-19 8:17

WOWW!
Excellent!
What a nice feeling!

I like it very much,Fernando!
Best Wishes

PJE (20758) 2005-08-19 11:12

Wow this is amazing. I love the color depth and shape of the water. Nice work

cam (9043) 2005-08-20 8:47

Hello Fernando
I like the effect of the waves and the fact that you went between the 2 rocks.
The colors are fine and the town is a series of white specs in the background.
So a good composition
Charles

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

Hi Fernando,
Como sabes tambι, me retirei durante algum tempo para ferias e descanso. Nγo conhecia esta tua faceta e diferente maneira de ver o mundo que nos rodeia. Estα muito bom e um postal ilustrado do Faial.

Atι o "tilt" ι proprio do barco em movimento e como o JOHN diz e muito bem ι minimo e sem importancia relativamente fαcil de corrigir em PP.

Visγo e diferenηa.
Luis

maphoto (8082) 2005-08-20 11:49

Very nice result Fernando, I have one similar behind a boat, but not with the same landscape in the back, beautiful result with these two rocks and mountainous landscape, well seen.

Didi (61589) 2005-08-20 12:45

Olΰ Fernando
Le sillage du bateau donne une sensation de mouvement; l'avant-plan est trθs apprιciable avec la perspective qui donne de la profondeur.
Bon travail.

Olΰ Fernando
A esteira da embarcaηγo dα uma sensaηγo de movimento; o primeiro plano ι muito apreciαvel com a perspectiva que dα da profundidade. Bom trabalho.

john_c (24666) 2005-08-20 15:11

Hi Fernando,
What a breathtakingly effective shot! The colour, contrast, and drama are all here. Your clarity and definition is amazing, Fernando. Very well done. All the others have said it all...
John

capthaddock (28790) 2005-08-21 21:35

Hi Fernando - very impressive and wonderful I like T\the V shape of the boats wake that leads to the rock formations, great work.

rabdelnoor (3423) 2005-08-21 23:29

Ola Fernando,
Very interesting and dinamic shot. Nice composition with the waves formed by the boat and the village on the far backgound between the two big rockies. Excellent colours and sharpness. Parabens.

Ola Fernando,
This photo bears the nice luminous colors of summer, the rocks are impressive and well detached, the boat trace adds dynamism, nice photo.
Have a nice day,

huynt (5081) 2005-08-22 5:36

wonderful shot. Well POV and composition. Thanks

mumek (20226) 2005-08-22 19:12

Good evening Fernando!
Very well composed and captured scenery. Beautiful view at two rocks and island in the background. Fantastic waves. Very well done. Thanks for the posting
best regards
ziggy

alford (4063) 2005-08-23 3:39

Hi Fernando! I've been away for several days, haven't had time to check TE. Anyway, I really like the way you captured those 2 island rocks and placing the disturbed water in between them! The colors of the rocks contrast well with the waters. I'm impressed with the very good sharpness and colors! rgds.

jemaflor (146274) 2005-08-24 13:25

Hi Fernando,
Very well seen these lines, waves and rocks. Good composition.

Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2005-08-24 18:00

Hi Fernando, I really love this one, it's so dynamic! The white of the surf, and the konwledge that the boat has just passed these two beautiful rocks, really gives speed to the image.
The white is so beautiful here.
The picture reminds me of my boat ride last year may, after a 3 days of storm, we went to the Skellig islands, (Ireland) and the sea was still very rough, but I liked it so much!

manny (22032) 2005-08-25 8:26

This is great. Wonderful color and great texture. I can feel I am almost there.

PauloAJPires (294) 2005-08-25 9:21

Fernando, estα muito bem tirada... Sσ foi pena a sombra, se tivesse a sorte de ter o Sol ao fundo ficava impecαvel :) e talvez um passepartout

Um abraηo

Olα Fernando! Cα estou eu de regresso, a tentar pτr a escrita em dia, o que nγo vai ser fαcil!...
Excelente foto, gosto imenso do dinamismo que resulta da ondulaηγo provocada pelo barco, bem como do enquadramento, perspectiva, cores e profundidade de campo. Belo trabalho!

andrebonavita (0) 2005-09-15 7:19

Olα Fernando!

Gostei dessa foto! Alιm das belas cores e nitidez gostei de como ficou as ondas no mar, dα a impressγo de que as ilhas Faial and Pico ι que estγo se movendo! Boa idιia de usa-las como bordas com a cida ao fundo!

Abraηo

Gix (3565) 2005-09-15 11:05

Hi Fernando!
As Scilla & Cariddi, the two rocks draw a gigantic portal in the sea. Excellent colors and sharpness... i can even to see you (your shadow) in the waves taking the shot !!
Well, not really so, but with a little bit of Phantasy, stay stable on a boat running on the waves, is not so easy!
Excellent work, another nice 'invite' to visit Portugal! and thank for the huge note!
ciao, Giorgio

pitai (3985) 2005-09-19 17:47

Dificil toma si se esta en movimiento. Muy buena luz, me gusta el sol reflejado en las islas y el moviento del agua. Hasta me da la impresion de ver la sombra del fotografo. Estoy engaρado? hehehe.

brosnea (121) 2005-10-15 19:39

Olα. Esta ι uma viagem inesquecνvel. A prespectiva e o enquadramento da foto estα excelente. Grandes cores! ;)

Marlis (2298) 2005-11-12 13:48

hello Fernando,
superb capture of the wake, great POV. I love the symmetry of the composition and the depth.
Thank you for sharing.

Vesela (967) 2005-12-13 6:27

Hi Fernando!
What a superb shot!
The perspective here is so great!
I like the way you have captured the waves.
Congratulations for this shot.

Vesela

riclopes (35577) 2005-12-31 4:51

Olα Fernando,
Nγo podia acabar o ano, sem me despedir de si, com mais uma ϊltima visita ΰ sua galeria. E nγo ι nada fαcil escolher...estive quase para ir comer um 'cozido' ΰs furnas (uma experiκncia que teve um grande impacto na minha infβncia) ou voltar aos surfistas nas ondas, mas depois percebi que ainda nγo tinha criticado esta jα conhecida fotografia, a mais pontuada, atι agora, se bem que seguida de perto pela da onda.

A composiηγo e POV desta imagem estγo de facto deslumbrantes! O dinamismo da αgua e a vista do rasto a conduzir o olhar para o belo cenαrio lα atrαs estγo muito bem capturados. E ainda tendo em conta a velocidade do barco, nγo deve ter sido fαcil. Tambιm gosto bastante da que estα em ws, mas esta tem aqueles dois atraentes rochedos com a vista da Horta entre eles e que lhe dγo o tνtulo.

Mais uma vez, os meus parabιns e muito obrigado por tudo,
Achei muita piada ΰ sua crνtica em Inglκs.
Uma boa entrada e muitas felicidades para 2006, para si e para os seus,
Ricardo

elmec (12210) 2006-01-08 11:44

Hello Fernando!
That's great view!
The bubbling water path between rocks is amazing!
The colours, light and composition are great too!
Greetings!
Tomorrow ;-))
