The Fire Lake


This photo was taken on one of the islands of the magical and gorgeous Azores. I went to the S. Miguel Island on a job assignment (workshop), and free time was scarce. Fortunately, me and a group of friends managed to arrange a 4 hours car travel through the island, and what a feast for the eyes that trip was! This is, in my opinion, along with S. Jorge, the most beautiful island in Azores. Breathtaking landscapes are around every corner. One thing is for sure... I must return there soon!


The depicted lake is located on the top of a volcanic mountain, and it's called Lagoa do Fogo (Fire Lake). It's the 2nd largest lake of the island, and it's located 575 metres high.


Shot with my Pentax K10d, Sigma 10-20, and 3 stop ND Grad filter. Tweaked levels, curves, noise reduction, and final sharpening was applied.

I've done the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing.

yeah nice one :)
for me it seems pretty much as if earth ends right behind the mountain formation :D

just a cut and..whoops...nothing comes then...:nod:

nice perspective, the camera tilt makes it very deep and dynamic...good job!

(give us a little color processing tutorial - they're great:P )

Sleepwalker seducing me
I dare to enter your ecstasy
Lay yourself now down to sleep
In my dreams you're mine to keep

Brutal! Usaste o filtro ND para o quê?

Gostava muito de ir ao Açores, nem que seja 1 vez na vida.
