Lost in the time..., a photo from Setubal, South

Photographer's Note

Hi dear TE friends,

I made this picture in the June 14th, TE meeting.

This boat was used to carry cork from Seixal to Lisboa.

The boat was waiting near the coast line to be repaired when someone thought it was of a better use to burn it

Strongly marked by its connection to the River Tagus, the county of Seixal suffered a rapid development and growing urbanization over the last decades which have altered its traditional character.

Located on the Setúbal Peninsula, the natural shelter offered by the Seixal Bay made it become a centre of naval construction from the age of the Discoveries, an activity recalled at the Naval Nucleus of Arrentela, where visitors may admire several traditional boats of the River Tagus and watch models being made by craftsmen at the workshop, or at sites such as the 15th-century Quinta da Fidalga, an estate which is said to have belonged to the brother of the explorer Vasco da Gama, who came here to follow the construction of caravels.

Hello Aires,

A composition well balanced, the two series of houses give a framing to the old boat. Very nice contrast too and a beutiful sky.
Best regards,
Roger

When I saw the title , I remembered this song of Mario Frangoulis... Sometimes I dream, I am "lost in time"...
The combination of the boat, the sky and the green tones are excellent.
Have a nice day Aires,
Zeynep

Olá Aires,
esse aí já está bom pra virar fogueira, impressionante como a administração pública deixa isso jogado aí, atrai muito animais, como ratos e moscas. Gostei das cores da captura também.
Parabéns e Abraço

sacavem (18620) 2008-08-07 14:55

Olá Aires,

Mais uma bela composição do nosso TE Meeting in Seixal.Estas embarcações são uma delicia para a fotografia,contudo bem merecia que alguém que mande limpasse essa baía para ser ainda mais bonita.Mas se calhar é pedir muito.No momento certo captaste um grande céu, boas cores.
Um abraço,
Filipe

siamesa (28129) 2008-08-07 14:57

Oi Aires,
Esses botes abandonados sempre têm histórias mil para contar, se pudessem. Travessias , encontros e desencontros. Que pena terem incendiado esse.
Apesar de triste, a foto é uma beleza.
Abraços
Maria

Hi Aires,

Nice nostalgic view of the abandoned boat. Nice souvenir from the TE-meeting. Well, we have our meeting tomorrow, in Wroclaw. We will climb the mountain of sleza. I am looking forward to it and I am sure we will have plenty of photos.

Regards

Malgorzata

bostankorkulugu (42608) 2008-08-07 23:55

Bonjour Aires
Une épave bien cadrée qui vient donner du caractère à ce paysage maritime accompagné d'un très beau ciel.
bonne journée
Amicalement
Gildas

bakes888 (18499) 2008-08-08 2:40

Hi Aires. It’s a shame to destroy such a wonderful old worker as this boat. Well captured though. Excellent colours and details. Excellent sky to cap the scene. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

ARGI (3456) 2008-08-08 3:36

A piece of fine art Aires.
POV is magnificent and also the sky.
I like very much colors and this boat remains is marvelous.
An excellnt work
Congrats
best regards
Argyris

Budapestman (82620) 2008-08-08 3:43

Hi Aires,
Great shot from this abandoned boat with spectacular composition and perspective. The colours and lights are beautiful, impressive and fine image, Very well done!
Have a nice weekend
George

AlexandraR (80) 2008-08-08 5:14

A "grande" profundidade de campo está fantástica, conseguem-se ver nitidamente os prédios ao longe. Se bem que se o fundo estivesse desfocado, na minha opinião, também resultava bem nesta foto. O verde dos limos está óptimo, assim como o azul do céu.

gneufeld (15890) 2008-08-08 6:01

Hi Aires,
Nice composition here and the clouds in the sky really add interest here. Good depth, sharpness, and clarity along with well managed light and good colors. WEll done and TFS. Gerald

Gerrit (52935) 2008-08-08 7:33

Hi Aires,
surreal place for this old ship. Beautiful composition and perfect coloring.
Regards, Gerrit

Cricri (138894) 2008-08-08 10:37

Hola Aires,
Beau cadrage de ce vieux bâteau abandonné, belle perspective, profondeur et composer avec un côté dans la lumiére
Have a nice weekend for you

Bonjour Aires,
en voilà un bien joli ciel, mais il n'est pas le seul à être bien contrasté et net sur la photo, tout s'y détache avec précision et un tas de choses attirent l'oeil, aidée par cette bonne profondeur.
Un excellent week-end.
Daniel.

Hi Aires!
I like the contrast here between the "green" water and this nice sky.Good composition with this old wooden boat and the city at the horizon.
Regards,Leo

ribeiroantonio (22730) 2008-08-08 23:26

A combinação verde a azul est á muito boa e o brilho da imagem é fantástico. Conseguiste uma porfundidade de campo excelente nesta boa composição.
António

lestans (17230) 2008-08-09 1:03

Ciao Aires!
this pictures looks surrealistic at a first sight! I saw an old boat in the countryside, not far from a town!
But I saw your interesting note.
A beautiful capture, nicely composed, bravo!
Ciao dear friend!

Hi Aires,

danos (107855) 2008-08-09 3:39

Ola Aires,
the retired boat is nice placed in the frame with this superb background of it.I like the contrasted colors and the combination of the shadows and the light in the scene.Well done.

Have a nice Weekend,Danos

ChrisJ (132332) 2008-08-09 4:29

Olá Aires

Excellent shadow detail in the decrepit old boat, with good framing & sharpness. Parabens!

pablominto (53746) 2008-08-09 8:30

Hello Aires,

The dark shipwreck on the shore makes a fine contrast to the bright and happy city in the background!
Well balanced composition and the image has a fine feeling of depth...
Good colours all over and an attractive sky!

Greetings,
Pablo .

Graal (103038) 2008-08-09 8:33

Hi Aires,
an interesting history about burned boat. Nice composition and sight in BG. Good work during the meeting.
Gr., Aleksander

axiotea (21651) 2008-08-09 9:25

Olà Aires
The pov made the abandoned boat(a pity someone burnt it)looking more impressive and it actually adds lot of depth. I like the impression of movement provided by the clouds, which gave a dynamic feel!
Abraço
Marilyn

anducina (8407) 2008-08-09 9:34

Excellent and unusual scene, the black burned boat looks strange and picturesque in the same time with the cityscape in the BG. I must say that I prefer the white, red-roofed traditional buildings on the left to the blocks on the right--result of the "development and growing urbanization over the last decades which have altered its traditional character", as you have said. I am not a great fan of blocks, I must admit...

TFS and have a nice WE !
Andreea

TopGeo (38216) 2008-08-10 1:25

Hi Aires! An excellent picture with good BG subject that I like and am in the gallery me “broken boat” You have also a environment marvellous in colours and the composition you become very interesting
Tfs/regards
Georgios

papagolf21 (124501) 2008-08-10 4:39

Cher Aires,
Voir un bateau à sec se désagrégeant me fait penser à un poisson hors de l'eau. Sa vieille carcasse inspire le respect des jours passés en mer.
Très belle mise en image avec ce superbe arrière-plan.
Très bien fait.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Tue (54220) 2008-08-10 8:41

Hi Aires,
This is a really nice capture with fine colours and a pleasant light. The boat is really well included in the foreground, captured also a little bit from the side. It's nice to see the skyline of the city in the background too. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

jurek1951 (42198) 2008-08-10 9:56

Hi Aires,
The view and landscape are very beautiful,
superb detail and beautiful theme.The colours are great, composition en point of view very good,
Georg

carper (96) 2008-08-10 9:58

a fine one Aires,
good composition, the part of shadows are not easy here to handled, but I like your photojob here, well done my friend.
gr. jaap

feather (51130) 2008-08-10 11:09

Good use of a low POV to show this unfortunate boat. Also your POV ensures the boat is making a diagonal across the frame to lead the eye to the town in the background. Well done
Kath

John_F_Kennedy (43763) 2008-08-10 23:25

Wonderful light. A nicely captured moment full. Nice to see teh city in the background. Great shot.
Best wishes,
Achim

Olá Aires,
this dark wooden ship creates a very strange atmosphere in the green and bright capture. The good managed shadow tells us about the darkness of the burned wood. Good POV including the houses aorunf it.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

paura (45863) 2008-08-11 6:56

Aires,
A composição ficou muito boa, com interessantes detalhes no barco e um excelente e colorido fundo. Muito boa.

Abraço

Paulo

jlynx (12647) 2008-08-12 1:32

Hello Aires,
Which contrast to the determines this old and strongly worn out boat with the city in the distance. The dry wash of the reservoir does the really depressing impression. Excellent full picture of strong excitements, splendid lights and colours.
Best regards from Poznan,
Jurek

Bonjours,
belle photo de ce bateau en triste état, mais la prise est de toute beauté, elle le montre agonisant sur son flan.
Jolies couleurs et bonne netteté.
Loin de la ville , ainsi échoué, il donne l'impression qu' un beau jour au hasard il va essayer de repartir.
Merci d' un si beau partage.

Amitiés Thomas

Bluejeans (64251) 2008-08-12 10:06

Oi amigo ,
Boa escolha pelo titulo gostei :), os detalhes do nosso barco queimado ficaram fantásticos , o contraste entre o azul e o verde ficou muito bonito , bom enquadramento da foto , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Emile (20352) 2008-08-12 11:36

Hola Aires.
Good composition with the burned and abandoned boat and the houses and buildings of the city in the background. Good POV, also very good colors and details.
Well done.
