Forgotten Coastal Portugal

 

“Forgotten” – Coast of Portugal – Nelson Bolinhas – Featured Photographer

Charlie’s Super Fantastic Photo Tip of the Day:  Create a “Moody” image.  It doesn’t matter if it is happy, surprise, dark and gloomy, etc.  Just let viewer feel an emotion and they will be hooked.

Do you know those weird dreams where nothing ever seems to make sense?  Well this could be the background for one of those dreams.  Like all of a sudden a snake wearing a sweater vest could ice skate down the bridge with a punch bowl full of over ripe figs and your response would be ”I expected that.”  If you don’t follow me then let’s just say the mood I feel is eerily surreal when I look at this image.  How about you?

For some more outstanding and moody images please ice skate on over to Nelson’s website at  www.nelsonbolinhas.freeiz.com. You won’t be disappointed.  By the way, I also love the image on his home page.

Enter Nelson:

This was a day dedicated to the most experience between a Canon 50D and Canon7D, in the company of a good friend. Before sunrise we were to see that these experiments could not be made because the sky was very dark. There were many clouds and rain was plentiful.

But when the sun began to appear on the horizon everything changed for the better, and that was when we left under the bridge shot and managed to make some great images like this one.

Camera settings:

Canon: 50D

Sigma: 10-20

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 160 seconds

Aperture: F9

  22. Let us forget about sin.
    To the Spirit within
    Sin is just a hell on earth.
    A thought of confusion
    Born to this place and time.
