Emerging, a photo from Belize, North

Photographer's Note

This is another scanned photo from the beautiful sealife of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, where I found this turtle emerging to the surface to breathe a little bit. I used the camera Nikonos V with a 35mm and a Fuji provia 100, very nice to capture the blue tones.
I´m still having fun scanning my old archives, and I am finding some forgotten treasures, specially from underwater. The underwater pictures has much of the Trek Nature sense, but it also fits well to Trek Earth. I hope you will like to see it.
Regards,
Zeca

Olá Zeca,

já estava indo prá cama quando vi um thumbnail azul que me chamou a atenção :)) Antes mesmo de analisar a imagem confesso que fiquei imaginado a sua sensação diante do momento. Cara, o que passa na cabeça? Maravilha de imagem, bonita e bem executada. Boa noite, amigo!
Abraço,
Carlos

A very nice capture of this turtle, they are such nice little creatures :) The blues are very pretty. TFS and have a happy day!

Mas os teus slides estão muito bem conservados. Não têm um grão de poeira.
A foto é lindíssima nesses tons de azul. A propósito, qual é a cor real quando se mergulha?

Well spotted daily underwater life scenery, must be one of the few species on earth. It's good to know you still have it. Great shot.

Hi José,
Hardly woken that you embark us on the big blue...
It is strange but I find your air, light photo and restful.
This tortoise is majestic. You made well search your archives!
Deeply the other treasures!

Hi José,
fantastic catch of this great seaturtle (I know how impressive such an encounter is). I also like the way you included the feather- and brench-shaped coral.

Olá Zeca
Linda foto em azul.Mesmo escaneada tem cores e detalhes super nítidos. Uma belíssima imagem. Parabéns.
Abraços
Maria

riclopes (35577) 2008-08-20 5:40

wow, está fantástica, Zeca. E com uma qualidade impressionante para uma foto do fundo do mar de 97 digitalizada. As tonalidades de azul em volta da fonte luz lá em cima são bem bonitas e é um prazer ver a tartaruga no centro da acção e em interacção com esse coral no 1º plano. Parabéns.
abraço,
ricardo

hi Zeca,
love the beautiful blue tone, it makes the photo feel very calm and peaceful, exactly like slowly gliding through the water. the upward looking point of view is great, it creates an uplifting feeling and perfectly fits the idea of "reaching up to the light". excellent work, my compliments. and keep digging up those treasures :)

best,
Kristine

Olá Zeca,
boa imagem essa, fico imaginando como deve ser difícil a operação e foco nesse tipo de fotografia, tem que ser tudo no manual né? Muito bonita essa tonalidade azul também, embora eu seja Galo.
Parabéns e Abraço

Docarmo (9767) 2008-08-20 19:08

Olá Zeca,
Fantástico trabalho com o scanner! Li sua resposta ao António e fiquei mais encantada ainda.
Incrível mesmo a qualidade desta foto, nitidez e "pureza" impecáveis.
Parabéns!

Hi Jose, Even in the dark blue light it is possible to see the details in the corals and turtle, and he is well placed, swimming up to the light. Nice one. Cheers, Steve

Hola Zeca.
Good underwater shot with blue tones and the presence of the turtle. Very good post-scanned work.
Well done. TFS.

Jose,
Another wonderful scanned image, Absolutely love the blue tone. Composition is excellent here, the light radiating from the surface is magical. Great shot, good details for a scanned image. My film scanner is Nikon, don't remember the exact model, it in storage right now. What scanner you use?

Hello José,

I know nothing of underwater photography, this is a world apart, but absolutely wonderful.
Your scanned picture is very well, also the turtle here gives a very nice view underwater, very well blue colour.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

pablominto (53746) 2008-08-22 5:40

Hello Zeca,

Underwater images are a rare sight in TE!
This is an artistic capture, where the turtle is exposed against the daylight above...
Pleasant shades of blue and a balanced composition!

Greetings,

Olá Zeca,

Acabei de escrever a propósito de uma foto do ribeiroantonio que tinha um fascínio especial por fotos antigas. Bem sei que esta tem apenas 11 anos, mas você percebe, tudo o que é pré-digital é como se fosse pré-história. :D

O simples facto de ser uma digitalização fá-la-ia muito interessante aos meus olhos, mas está tão bem tecnicamente para um scan e tão bem captada e composta, que nem precisa de dessa "ajuda" para ser uma foto excepcional. Que azul! Que luz! Que sentido de oportunidade para apanhar o bicho!

TFS, Um abraço, José.

paura (25802) 2008-08-23 5:02

Zeca,
Linda fotografia! Parece que tudo estava no luga certo para te ajudar a compor essa beleza. Muito boa.

Abraço, amigo.

Paulo

aadilj (18102) 2008-08-24 22:38

Now this one is absolutely under water classic with such deft use of lights and colours. I love the idea and the way you have composed it

PaulVDV (62886) 2008-08-25 9:41

Olá José,
Great capture of this big turtle and really nice picture of the sealife. I like the different blue tones and the texture of the corals.
Best regards, Paul

Excellente cette prise de vue sous l'eau !
Les couleurs sont belles !
J'aime beaucoup.

Hello Zeca, A nice image of this wonderful animal swimming toward the surface & light, the blue tones of the clear water are excellent as is the detail.
A lovely image.
Thanks

Hi Jose, A beautiful photo of such an endangered creature, they look so much better here in their natural environment, great shot, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Stepan (27210) 2008-08-27 23:20

It seems so unreal to me to take such pictures that I'm really impressed... Peace and harmony... That's what I see here... And floating is so cool...

Aaaahhhhh, as fotos de Belize estao comecando a sair do escanneador. Beleza! Esta imagem toda em azul com a tartaruga passando mansamente e algo bem diferente comparando com as imagens ultra-coloridas que voce apresentou ate entao deste local. Que maquina e essa - Nikonos?
Peter

nivaldo (15417) 2008-09-21 18:39

Lindo trabalho, Zeca !!!
Estou me animando para ir a Noronha, finalmente! Talvez veja algo parecido!
Grande abraço, tudo azul para você!
