the moving boat

This is on the threshold of the abstract. I worked with the long exposure but not enough to blur the image completely so you still can recognize the boat in the scene. Maybe it reflects the nausea I was feeling at the moment but even so I decided to keep it organized, placing the horizon line in the center and the boat right in the mid. How do you feel about it?

Shot in the same place as the previous image.

Hey Carlos,

Save some of these type of shots for our future theme "In Motion"

I get sea sick just looking at this and my eyes are beginning to blur, I can see the boat clearly at all :)

Very good sense of movment and energy here, and I can almost feel the speed and the salty air hitting my face.

The square format work well, the black frame I think is a too much and too bold for this.

Oi Carlos,
Quase dá para contar uma estória com esta foto: o barco fantasma. Diferente do mar de Paraty este me parece mais agitado. Um belo efeito abstrato em todo o clima da foto. Um ótimo resultado artístico.
Abraços

Oi Carlos!
O efeito borrado dá um tom de mistério ao barco, que realmente parece fantasma. Um abstrato marinho!
Abraço,
Zeca

Hello Carlos! Well, the feeling: It gives me the impression that it was not a smooth sea but being a little "bumpy". The colors are very nice, the colors of a wild sea with an overcast sky. I hope you came to the shore in one piece, it IS terrible to be seasick. I have several occasions when I was pretty glad to reach the land although if I concentrate, I mostly survive it ... LOL ... You managed to return with a picture that gives us this feeling back that you get when the sea is pretty wild. If you have more than one picture of this kind, maybe three, they would fit a wall wonderfully, maybe on a grey paint, I could imagine that. This is well realized, I like the result. Have a lovely weekend, Barbara.

Hi Carlos,

A very artistic image with the strong blur and the almost monochrome colours but i really like it. It's something out of the ordinary and always good to see and bring up new ideas.

Take care,

Henk

It's always good to experiment and the movement of the boat is well caught, indicating the motion of a rough sea. I also like the monotone turquoise colour which helps the image to work well. How about also adding the image to the "mood" category?

Carlos,

I'm all for experimentation - and it's nice to see the results of such experimentation posted here. Sometimes my camera goes off by accident and produces the most intriguing shot of the day !! ;-)

I quite like this one. The square format and the black frame certainly suit the image. Sometimes all that can be said about this oblique style of imagery is that "it works" or it "it doesn't" - and I guess that a personal thing either way. In this case, for me, I'd say this one works.

Regards
Colin
