Rio de Janeiro by night, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

Song of the Airplane
Tom Jobim

How my soul is singing,
I see Rio de Janeiro
I am dying of nostalgia.
Rio, your sun, beaches and sea,
Rio, my love, made just for me
Christ the Redeemer, arms open in welcome
This samba is just because Rio, I like you so much,
The morena will samba, her body all swaying,
Rio the sun, the sky, the sea, within a minute we'll be landing in Galeгo,
Christ the Redeemer, arms open in welcome
This samba is just because Rio, I like you so much,
The morena will samba, her body all swaying,
Tighten your belt, we're arriving, sparkling water, see the
runway arriving, and there we go...

Hi Marcelo,

Very beautiful picture of this city. The color and composition is very good, great job with the exposure. I like the boat in the river as well. Great job, thanks for sharing!

Hi Marcelo.
Una excelente composiciуn con tres elementos principales: la ciudad, el agua y el barco. Has hecho un buen trabajo de larga exposiciуn sobre todo al conseguir que el barco quede enfocado (supongo que estaba parado), me gustan mucho esos reflejos en el agua, y sobre todo la cantidad de detalles que se pueden apreciar en la foto. Felicidades y un saludo.
Angel.

Olб Marcelo!
Bonita imagem do Rio! Vc conseguiu capturar bem o movimento frenйtico da cidade durante o inнcio da noite e o barco enriquece muito a imagem! Sу faltou um aviгo passando baixo pra pousar no Santos Dumont pra foto ficar mais perfeita ainda, eles costumam passar bem baixo sobre o aterro do flamengo quando pousam pela pista 2R!
Parabйns e Abraзo!

ribeiroantonio (22730) 2007-05-20 22:39

Que zona do Rio й esta? Deixa-me ver se consigo adivinhar. Tirбste esta foto de dentro de um aviгo, antes de aterrar no Santos-Dumont. Verdade? E esta vista й o final da Praia do Flamengo?
Gosto muito da luz e o barco ajuda muito a preencher o espaзo da бgua. Muito bem.

Oi Marcelo!
Suas fotos estгo cada vez melhores! Parabйns! Aqui vocк revela um вngulo diferente do que normalmente nos mostram do Rio, que й belнssimo em qualquer faceta. Atй uma covardia para um bom fotуgrafo como vocк ter uma cidade destas а disposiзгo...
Boa semana!

Ce n'est pas la vue classique de Rio que l'on a l'habitude de voir....et c'est ce qui fait l'intйrиt de cette photo de trиs belle qualitй et aux couleurs trиs agrйables.

Ciao Marcelo.
La tua foto di Rio de Janeiro e fantastica.La luce e i colori della tua composizione sono favolossi e molto belli. Congratulazione. Bravo.
Parabens . Cari saluti.
Costantino

JPlumb (3159) 2007-05-22 1:01

Hi Marcelo, was this taken from a plane window at night? If so this would be a very difficult shot. In any case it turned out very well. I like the way you have captured the boat to the forefront of the city. The city lights with the reflections on the water add to the shot.

Thanks, John

axiotea (21651) 2007-05-22 2:19

Hi Marcelo
A good high POV with good use of long exposure giving that smooth effect on the water, nice lights of the cars and in the buildings.
Cheers
Marilyn

Budapestman (82620) 2007-05-22 4:33

Hi Marcelo,

Apesar de serem poucas as fotos do Rio a noite, elas sгo tгo lindas quanto as feitas durante o dia nй?
A sua estб excelente, mostrando aquele barco que nгo dali faz um bom tempo, os reflexos estгo belos e a luz muito boa, visto que o local fica bastante sombreado pelos prйdios.

Boa foto Marcelo.

jemaflor (146382) 2007-05-22 12:17

Hi Marcelo,
Great pov and good timing, taken with an interesting light, great result with the boat and reflection on water.

riclopes (35577) 2007-05-22 13:41

Grande vista, Marcelo. E com uma composiзгo nada usual do Rio. Excelente exposiзгo de luz nesta hora do anoitecer. Os 5s parecem ter sido ideais. Aquele barco solitбrio ficou mesmo bem, embora eu preferisse que estivesse menos centrado. A selva de construcзгo lб atrбs й incrнvel. Muito boa foto.
Um abraзo,
ricardo

Silvio1953 (220717) 2007-05-22 13:54

WOW Marcelo, wonderful nocturn view from Rio with splendid light and nice delicate colors, great composition with a lovely ship, very well done, bravo, ciao Silvio

Hi Marcelo!
Alone your great POV desreves two points.Fantastic shot with wonderful blue tones at the city and the sea,and a nice stripe and curvoe of green between.A very sharp imag with many fine details.
Regards,Leo

kermit350 (9016) 2007-05-22 14:56

Bom-dia Marcelo, й enquadrados bem e quase modernizar-o de Rio de Janeiro а um devolvido muito luminoso, esta embarcaзгo ao centro do rio traz uma espйcie de ritmo а imagem, mais dos pontos fortes da imagem sгo servidos bem, o que dб excelente uma paisagem urbana ou qualquer harmonizam-se bem ao conjunto da cena

Philippe (11836) 2007-05-22 16:30

Hi, Marcelo. I like the very good contrast there is in your picture. The dark ship on the dark water contrasts very well with the white buildings in the background. The light is particularly good here. I suppose this was taken a little after sunset, when the people start turning on the light. The water looks like a mirror and the ship like a toy among all those blocks of flats.

barrufeto_77 (28888) 2007-05-23 1:26

Hi Marcelo

A perfect light management and exposure.

The POV is also good.

Rgs, Oscar

vinicio (23423) 2007-05-23 3:32

Perfect image at the dusk, compliments Marcelo, excellent quality and interesting view from the high, you have well done this image.

siolaw (38294) 2007-05-23 3:50

Ola Marcelo,
An excellent POV on the town around blue hour... i like the effect on the sea of the 5 seconds exposure... god sharp details and nice lights

Gerrit (62042) 2007-05-23 5:19

Hi Marcelo,
good light on this perfect nightshot. A lot of sharp details.
Regards, Gerrit

Flavia (10352) 2007-05-23 10:53

Oi Marcelo,

Excelente tomada noturna do Rio. POV privilegiado e composicao bem pensada com a inclusao do barco. A abertuda do diafragma perfeitamente escolhida para congelar o movimento do barco ao mesmo tempo tendo os carros em movimento ao fundo. Bravo!

Abracos,

Flavia

alentejo (1954) 2007-05-23 11:00

Uma foto invulgar do Rio com uma luz belissima Marcelo. Gosto da composiзao com o barco no primeiro plano e as lusinhas dos predios atraz.
Parabens e atй breve.
Um abraзo.

pboehringer (770) 2007-05-23 11:48

Marcelo, excellent composition of that image combined to Tom Jobin's song. You're certainly fooling a lot of people at TE with that. I guess that many will be thinking that your POV is from inside an airplane and not the Sugar Loaf. Anyway, such little "dirty" tricks are allowed. I like very much the tight framing and the prolongued exposure gave the water and the rushing cars a nice texture.

cuneyt-sb (6576) 2007-05-23 12:36

Hi Marcelo
Dream city , sure , Rio has diffreant air and atmsosphere
Very good shot and frame

Hi Marcelo,
Belle image nocturne de Rio, un moment bien choisi ou la lumiйre est douce et donne de jolies couleurs sur l'ensemble, joli plus avec la prise du bвteau..
good evening
cricri

balatrek (7455) 2007-05-23 16:28

Hola Marcelo,

Interesante composiciуn y fantбstica perspectiva, me gusta que hayas incluido en la escena el barco, refuerza la visiуn de la costa ayudando a que comprendamos mejor la esencia de ese lugar, las texturas del agua son impresionantes, parece hielo, el tiempo largo de exposiciуn ha creado un efecto muy bello con las luces de los coches.

Saludos
Josй

Olа Marcelo
well, it doesn't seem exactly a night shot, the atmosphere is great but the light seems the one of an evening shot.
Great POV and composition of this fascinating city.

Vato_Law (12732) 2007-05-27 16:57

Olб Marcelo,
Mas que fabulosa esta foto com o barco solitбrio na baia, e a cidade e todas as suas luzes como pano de fundo.
Os tons desta foto estгo simplesmente espantosos, assim como a luz da mesma. A longa exposiзгo causou um efeito muito bonito na superficie da бgua.
Um abraзo,
Paulo

Didi (61589) 2007-05-28 3:40

Olа Marcel
Very interesting composition in the twilight and a very good management of lights exposure.
I think with a thiner frame you'll have a bigger picture.
