All the images now you posted are very good ones; very interesting!!!
Thank you Nandakumar
The second photo is of a building where my father had worked, now abandoned and in degradation process, like so many others.
However, there are some houses which are being renovated and look beautiful.
In both shots I have tweeted the colours a bit playing with HSL in Photoshop. The result is good as I have not overdone.
The original RAW photos are these:
But let me show you the bellow curiosity. A square of 20 centimeters of "azulejos" representing St. Antony (I think). Azulejos are the target of thieves but these are facing the street and are saved, so far !!...
Antonio, these are nice intimate architectural images. I prefer #62 but would perhaps burn in the light coloured tiles a little?
Hi Antonio, yes much better I think. It was a little bright before.
I enjoy architectural details in older buildings such as these. Did you use the 135mm lens.
Yes Len, I used that lens !
Thank you for the comment which lead to the final shot !
Cheers !
This is a dreamlike shot; like it very much
Thank you Nandakumar.
How are you doing in the middle of C19 ?
Cheers !
It is everywhere around; somehow managing in the midst
I usually find that misty images need some form of reference point in the foreground otherwise they tend to just look like out of focus shots. You have good foreground reference areas in these images so they are obviously intended misty scenes
Thank you Geoff for your comment.
The first image is far better than the second one.
Cheers !
With the second image, Antonio, would a slight crop from the bottom and right side actually produce a stronger scene? Giving more importance to the mist?
You know Geoff... this shot is supposed to be subjected to the theme "dominant colour" and all the photos are to be subjected to the group appreciation. This is the reason why the yellow has all that importance in both pictures.
But today, even if you don't speak Portuguese I would like to invite you to a session of Projecto 33 where José is going to show his work. The session is tomorrow the 15th September, via Zoom at 21:30h (GMT+1) as usual.
Join Zoom Meeting
If you could speak Portuguese you could intervene as the others do. As perhaps you don't, you can assist as long as you wish
Everybody is welcome with one limit: max 100 people. So far I only reached 42 but I expect to have about 60 this time.
I will have people from France, Nederlands, Brazil, Mozambique and Portugal assisting. All Portuguese speakers.
The calendar is almost full for 2021 !
Thank you for commenting, Sandy
The tiles are squares of 10cm each belonging to an old building where my father worked.
The photo below shows how the building was 10 years ago in December, the arrow points the stoles panel of tiles and the rectangle the areas I have previously shown in detail
It is a shame but...

Hi Antonio - Thanks for the extra information regarding the building and its picture tiles. The artistry of the tiles is unique. Yes it is definitely a shame there are those who want to take from others......
Through our photography, we can remember what things were like from our past - good and the bad. To me that makes this profession very important. Keep up the excellent work!
