“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.

Much more fanciful than my thoughts… I would expect to see a very sad character lamenting something lost… forlorn and alone… awwwww
gorgeous lines and muted tones – makes me want to be there.
It sparks the imagination.
Wonderful shot
I can’t help but wonder if there is an end to the bridge. And if there is what will be there.
I’d like to walk through that fog and onto the platform.
A little bit eerie and unreal! Superb shot!
great shot! great perspective!
A rare sight. Thanks for sharing!
extraordinary, it almost looks airbrushed.
awesome pic…
This would have been a less powerful shot if you’d had full light — good eye to catch this!
the eye is willing to follow a very long way…lovely
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.
