Hi dear TE friends
Place : Lisboa, (Bairo Alto = Fado)
Region: Municipality- Lisboa / Parish- Bairro Alto
Theme: The Funicular I- ( Lisbon TE meeting 05/01/08)
To see: map view and Group themes:Tram, funiculars and lift of Lisbon , my favorite theme of Lisbon :)
THE BICA FUNICULAR
(Elevador da Bica - Bica's Lift)
Immortalized in announcements, filmed for Wim Wenders, looked for for tourist, former-líbris of Lisbon, national monument for decree approved in Cabinet the November of 2001, the elevator of the Pipe has 126 years.
Inaugurated in 1882, by Raul Mesnier Ponsard, it was moved by vapor and just in 1914 it changes to the electricity. It takes us from Calhariz to Rua da Boavista.
Lisbon’s steeply sloping terrain has always been a serious problem for the transport of people and goods between the high and the low-lying areas. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Company was using “American-style” trams (using animals to draw the carriages which were on rails) but not even these could answer the problem satisfactorily.
The Bica Funicular - history
*The weather wasn't as good as I desired. The light of the day didn't help at all for taking photos.
Best Regards, Filipe (Portugal)

Hello Filipe,
Your view of narrow alley with tram and full with ground texture is wonderful. I like old facades there and your models that add life to your photo.
Friendly Regards,

Olá Filipe,
Tarde de inverno em Lisboa... Apesar de para mim ser um tudo nada demasiado melancólico, talvez por isso mesmo acho que está muito bem conseguida, pois consegue captar muito bem a atmosfera desse dia. O enquadramento é excelente; gosto da luz cinzenta reflectida na calçada molhada e da presença das pessoas.
Um abraço, José.

Bom dia Filipe, é um prazer chegar de Paris e ver mais uma adição ao tema do nosso encontro. Este ponto de vista é espectacular e quase irresistível de fotografar, mesmo que já o tenha feito dezenas de vezes, inclusivé noutros encontros de TE. Gosto muito da luz nos carris e o tempo cinzento até deve ter ajudado nesse aspecto. A diagonal ficou excelente nesta composição bem executada e gosto da disposição das pessoas que também ajudam a reforçar a profundidade até lá muito ao longe. Quase que dá para esquecer o céu branco ;-)
Um abraço,
ricardo

Your composition and POV are great here showing the tram and the long narrow street. The tracks along with the buildings create nice lines giving the shot nice depth and direction. The lighting is fine and the tram adds great color to the shot.

This is defenitly a great view from Lisbon.
The photo is good, but I think it could be better, maybe because it was on rainy day.
But I would at at least crop the couple on the foreground.
Anyway nice photo.

É uma perspectiva muito boa deste famoso elevador. O brilho nas pedras da claçada está excelente assim como o está também o reflexo da luz do eléctrico nos carris. A única coisa que podias ter melhorado no photoshop é o céu branco/queimado. Mas, não me impede de gostar do trabalho.

Ici, encore, la prise de vue est très réussie avec cette très belle perspective. Cela entre tout à fait dans l'esprit de TE, partager pour apprendre.
Merci.

Hi Filipe,
That is a sharp climb indeed which must be a struggle on a frosty morning ... just as well this train is in service. So, this must have been patterned from San Francisco cable cars. Wonderfully captured and presented with very good informative notes. Well done! tfs

Hi Filipe, a place and a funicular that we don't present anymore here on TE considering the number of pictures that were already post on that subject. Anyway this is always for a pleasure to see it and them, they are so photogenic !
It was difficult here to handle the light i see, perhaps also did you spot the funicular too much in the middle of the frame.
I like it anyway

Ola Filipe,
Light was far from ideal that day but you got an interesting picture with the yellow of the funicular shining and a good perspective behind where the people standing on the track contribute to the depth feeling, too bad about the car though...
Have a nice week end JY

Filipe,
you're right, the weather didn't help you, but such TE meetings aren't always about the perfect moment of shooting. The meeting itself is in such a moment much more important. the beauty of this composition lays in its potential. You kive in Lisbon and you can return to the same place with better weather and light conditions, etc. In this case I would suggest a lower POV, close to the ground to give more of the ground texture.

Olá Filipe,
esta es una foto que me gustaría tomar cuando visite Lisboa, es un verdadero icono de la ciudad.
Me gusta el efecto de la profunda perspectiva que nos ofrece este encuadre, y el impacto cromático del funicular amarillo, que es el verdadero protagonista de tu composición.
El día no era el mejor para tomar fotos, pero el mal tiempo te regaló unos bonitos brillos sobre el pavimento mojado, que compensan la difícil luz.
Un bello trabajo, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep
Feliz 2011!!!
