Feixes de Luz
Caminhar ao encontro da Luz é uma coincidência entre a vida e a fotografia.
Caminhar ao encontro da Luz é uma coincidência entre a vida e a fotografia.
O maior desafio de um fotógrafo é dominar a luz, pois é ela que confronta as leis, as técnicas e o equipamento. Embora, na maior parte das vezes, apenas se consiga observar a cor refletida dos objetos, há momentos em que podemos ver a própria luz como feixes que iluminam o próprio ar.
Por do sol nublado é, praticamente, o tudo ou nada. O espetáculo fantástico de cores ou um anoitecer cinzento sem qualquer tom quente a romper as nuvens.

One afternoon earlier in the spring I noticed this striking Sun pillar on the western horizon. It was visible for more than 30 minutes. After the Sun had set it turned red and pink (lower right photo). If ice crystals are stacked horizontally in cirrus clouds and tipped in the direction of the viewer, then the Sun’s waning light is reflected in the form of a column or spike. Note also the extended sundogs on either side of the pillar, approximately 22 degrees from it and the position of the Sun. Photo taken on April 16, 2018.

At Porto Novo beach, the distinctive rock decorated with a figure of Santa Rita contemplates the sea and the sunset.

I’m sharing with you this inspirational intense sunset. The sun spread its glory through the dense clouds, creating this end of the day show.
Partilho convosco este pôr-do-sol intense e inspirador. O sol espalhou a sua glória através das nuvens densas, criando este espetáculo de fim de dia.
I was driving home and I saw this light pillar (sun pillar) on the horizon, unfortunately I didn’t bring my camera so I photographed it with my cell phone. It was visible for more than 30 minutes and after the sunset the light turned red and pink.
Eu estava a conduzir para casa e vi este pilar de luz no horizonte, infelizmente eu não tinha a minha câmara, então fotografei com o meu telemóvel. Foi visível por mais de 30 minutos e após o pôr-do-sol a luz ficou vermelha e rosa.

The sea breeze comes with its distinctive aroma that makes us remind the days at the beach and the beautiful sunsets.
A brisa do mar vem com o seu aroma característico que nos faz lembrar os dias na praia e os fantásticos pores-do-sol.
“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun.”
Pablo Picasso
“Há pessoas que transformam o sol numa simples mancha amarela, mas há aquelas que fazem de uma simples mancha amarela o próprio sol.”
Pablo Picasso
Lately, the rough sea prevails for weeks turning the beach into a compact and washed sand. The white foam contrasts with the dark colour of the sand.
Nos últimos tempos, a forte agitação marítima prolongou-se por várias semanas tornando a praia num areal compactado e lavado. A espuma na rebentação das ondas contrasta com a cor da areia escurecida.
The winter solstice with the shortest day and the longest night of the year. It also marks the sunset in the southernmost point, cycles that are repeated annually and of great importance for the Humankind.
O Solstício de Inverno com o dia mais curto e a noite mais longa do ano. Marca também o pôr-do-sol mais a Sul, ciclos que se repetem anualmente e de grande importância para a humanidade.

At the daybreak I registered this beautiful warm autumn tones on the leaves that announce the end of another cycle.
Ao nascer do sol registei estes belíssimos tons quentes outonais nas folhas que anunciam o final de mais um ciclo.

A sublime sunrise I registered on the margins of Alcabrichel river. The duality between the shadow and light extol this valley.
Um sublime nascer do sol que registei nas margens do rio Alcabrichel. A dualidade entre sombra e luz enaltece este vale.
The understanding of reality turns easier when we can freeze the timeline. Photography is the perfect time machine to immortalize moments. Then you can observe details that escape our eyes, either because they pass too fast or because we are too busy to focus on them.
Those water drops at sunset will be forever in suspension against gravity in this picture. This is the power of capturing light during a very short period of time.
A compreensão da realidade é muito mais fácil quando conseguimos parar a linha temporal. A fotografia é a máquina do tempo perfeita para imortalizar momentos. Então, conseguimos observar detalhes que nos escaparam ao olhar, quer porque passaram demasiado rápido, quer estivéssemos muito ocupados para nos focarmos neles. Aquelas gotas de água ao pôr-do-sol serão mantidas para sempre em suspensão contra a gravidade nesta imagem. Eis o poder de registar luz num curtíssimo período de tempo.

Capturing a partial solar eclipse in Portugal, in a cloudy day, is a strike of luck. However, I had the feeling that I needed to go somewhere and try photographing it. Most of the times, photography is about subconscious messages and intuition. Thus, I went to Santa Rita Beach and I had the biggest surprise of the year. There it was – the incomplete sun lurking.
My amazement grew more when I realized that even the eclipse was aligned with the walkway. There’s a mathematical coincidence that I could hardly imagine to be possible. It was a true blessing having the opportunity to enjoy that moment and capturing it.
Registar um eclipse parcial do sol em Portugal, num dia nublado, é um golpe de sorte. Contudo, tive o pressentimento que tinha de ir algures e tentar fotografá-lo. Na maioria das vezes fotografar baseia-se em interpretar mensagens do subconsciente e a intuição. Assim, fui à Praia de Santa Rita e tive a maior surpresa do ano. Ali estava ele – o sol incompleto a espreitar.
O meu espanto elevou-se quando me apercebi que o próprio eclipse estava alinhado com o passadiço. Há uma coincidência matemática que dificilmente poderia imaginar ser possível. É uma verdadeira gratidão ter a oportunidade de aproveitar o momento e registá-lo.
O Ilhéu de Porto Novo separa as praias de Santa Rita e Porto Novo. Outrora o mar e o rio juntavam-se neste local transformando este pedaço de falésia numa pequena ilha. Atualmente, durante o inverno, o rio tenta reclamar o seu lugar nativo, chegando mesmo a inundar os campos e tornar a estrada intransitável.
Porto Novo islet separates Santa Rita and Porto Novo beaches. Once, the sea and the river joined together here turning this piece of cliff into a little Island. Nowadays, during the winter the river tries to claim its native place, even flooding the fields and blocking the road to transit.
O passadiço leva-nos até um pôr-do-sol de tons quentes, num passeio pela Praia de Santa Rita. Um veleiro navega pelo mar ao sabor da ondulação e da brisa.
The walkway takes us to a sunset of warm tones, in a stroll along Santa Rita beach. A sailboat sails by the sea to the waves and the breeze.
