Susana Matos May 23, 2004

Thank you my BP friends! I posted today a very similar photo so don´t expect you to comment again.
I have to say I find these images something very unusual and I am quite happy to have shot them this way. The sky had supperbe clouds because a thunderstorm was approaching and then with a degradé orange cokin filter I got this dramatic sky that I find nice to go with the superbe colors of the ground! I had to run when I went away as the thunderstorm began suddenly with the first signs of rain...
Thank you for your great words, so good to read from you.
Cheers from Portugal, Su #556624

Rui Filipe Rebelo Prego June 03, 2004

Hello Susana...
Nice to be back on betterphotto
The sky colors are amazing !!!

I see you got the 300D now! what do you think about it ??

(I changed my 17-35 2.8L for a 16-35 2.8L some weeks ago.)

I have no time to take pictures for the moment but I will maybe go to Portugal (Ovar & Lisboa) mid june and maybe we can meet. There I will certainly find time to take pictures (I Hope so).

Have a nice day and again congratulation for your pictures (and exposition ...)
