Description Photo taken at Adraga - Portugal

I took this one one day before the photo "Apocalipse".

A Sunday I think. Went to the beach with *dzian to take some waterscape photos.

This was taken at the end of the day, just before it started to rain pretty hard.

The spot my tripod was mounted was very dangerous because the strong waves were witting the rocks hardly! Lost my favorite sandal shooting this one lol.

Technique:
Used a shutter remote cable
A cokin (P) GND4

The darker part of the filter was placed in the right side of the lens because that was the spot with most light.

Post-processing:
PSCS3 levels, increased saturation 9%, Unsharp Mask, Watermark tittle.

P.S.: I had submitted this photo to flickr first. Didn´t upload to DA because I thought this one is not so good or at least the way I intended to be. But *dzian said it looked ok, so here it is.

The fire is burning the water and this is hot stuff. I love the way the sun angle has been used to off-set the fire on the water.

Quanto a tua foto está bem conseguida, não tão boa como anterior mas a alto nível

PhilipMatthews In reply to Rykardo [2008-10-20 01:17:26 +0000 UTC]

Obrigado amigo. Realmente a praia da Adraga é optima, devido às formações rochosas que tem. Podes ir lá varias vezes e vens sempre com uma foto diferente para casa lol. Realmente tb gosto mais da outra, o enquadramento está muito melhor, foi do lado direito da praia. Esta fiz o upload pk não admiro a 100% mas tb não desgosto, e como um amigo meu me aconselhou a po-la no DA assim fiz.

Rykardo In reply to PhilipMatthews [2008-10-20 09:24:55 +0000 UTC]

Realmente já vi muitas fotos de Adraga e raramente vejo fotos idênticas!

Por vezes também me acontece, não admiro 100% uma ou outra imagem que coloco, mas no entanto com o tempo acabo por admirar
