Zipline, a photo from Bahia, Northeast

Photographer's Note

This photo is from my first trip to Morro de S鉶 Paulo, just over 13 years ago, and shows a friend of mine descending on the zipline that goes from the Lighthouse to the First Beach. I also did it, but I have no photo of that moment. It is 340 meters long, starting at a height of 57 meters.

Hello Alexandre,
A really spectacular photo with the zipline in the foreground and the beach, clear blue sea and the town in the background. It was a lovely, sunny day and the colours are so well-saturated.

Ol� Alexandre,
What a great POV! I like how you captured your friend high above the beach. The color of the water is beautiful, but it's the sense of action that makes this photo so dynamic.

Hi Alexandre

We fly over the nice beach with no safety device. It would have been better to reframe a little bit to remove the starting area.
best regards
CLODO

Bonjour, cher Alexandre,
Il faut une bonne dose de courage pour pouvoir s'閘ancer de cette fa鏾n dans ce vide � une vitesse que l'on peut imaginer vertigineuse.
De bons souvenirs, je pr閟ume !
La prise de vue est une r閡ssite.
Tr鑣 bonne journ閑.
Amiti閟.
Philippe

Ciao Alexandre, amazing scene, great POV on fantastic sea, wonderful natural colors, excellent clarity and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

holmertz (102846) 2019-07-03 1:10

Hello Alexandre,
What a superb pov! This is really a photo that could cause vertigo to a lot of people. It's perfectly timed for the best possible effect and sense of height. Furthermore there is a great view far below. The water, rocks and sand create fantastic colours and patterns and the red brick roofs provide a perfect contrast of colours. I fully understand that you had other things on your mind than taking photos when you made this descent yourself. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Alexandre,

A picture of thirteen old, but it seems a picture of yesterday.
Lovely captured.
Create nice depth and perspective.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Ola Alexandre This is a thrilling action shot featuring two main subjects; your intrepid young friend and this splendid overview on the beach, the whole masterly captured for an exciting view that, I'm convinced, was also breathtaking for you when you took the picture!! I envy so much this splendid take! Abra鏾s

jean113 (27899) 2019-07-03 13:51

Hello Alexandre, what is fascinating about your picture is that we see your friend suspended in the air, but there is no sign of the zip wire! I am amazed at how high above the beach you both are.
The sharp quality allows us to see the tiny people on the beach.
You had a beautiful view.
Thanks for sharing, regards Jean.

rychem (72187) 2019-07-03 15:29

Congratulations that you dared to do it :)
A very attractive photo, very well presented
regards Ryszard

pierrefonds (114608) 2019-07-03 15:45

Hi Alexandre,

You have captured well the action of the person using the zipline. The point of view is showing the details of the beach, of the boats and of the buildings. The colors and the sharpness are very good. Have a nice day.

Pierre

ikeharel (113501) 2019-07-04 3:19

Marvelous view of the bay from above, Alexandre, but the main attraction here is the young man on the sling. No fear for those adventurous youngsters...
Excellent stuff.
Bom dia,
Ike

Ola Alexandre ,
Spectacular plunging view ! To go there , one must not suffer of vertigo ! The beach is splendid , too.
Regards

ChrisJ (171888) 2019-07-04 11:26

Hello Alexandre,

I used to go abseiling and white water rafting in my 20's. A gorgeous looking tropical beach resplendent with waving coconut palms. The fringing coral reef and white sands invite beachcombers. Tfs!

magui (630) 2019-07-05 13:08

Ol� Alexandre

� sem d鷙ida uma vista de tirar o f鬺ego (a mim � que n鉶 me apanham ali :) ). Uma vis鉶 invulgar, � sem d鷙ida uma foto em que nos concentramos na pessoa em primeiro plano, mas depois vemos toda a beleza envolvente do mar, da praia e da pequena cidade. Gosto muito.
Excelente perspetiva, luz, cores e nitidez.
Abra鏾,
Maria

Alexandre, that activity is dedicated to thrills lovers. One should not suffer from vertigo to use the zipline. It offers stunning views on the bay further down. It's a beautiful resort with white sand, coconuts trees and charming little houses.

PaulVDV (63024) 2019-07-06 13:32

Hello Alexandre,
Ziplining is very popular in Latin American countries, also in Colombia and Nicaragua.
Very spectacular this line!
Beautiful scenery with the colour of the beach well contrasting with the blue sea.
Best regards, Paul

fabianoleite (13575) 2019-07-07 10:41

Vis鉶 boa dessa descida que parece bem radical. O visual l� em baixo ficou excelente, com uma boa inclus鉶 de v醨ios elementos e essa 醙ua bem clara. E a perspectiva nos coloca quase como protagonista do brinquedo a�. Bom trabalho.

PiotrF (54882) 2019-07-07 12:00

Hello Alexandre,
I like great POV here!
Picture with nice composition, lovely colors and good clarity and sharpness.
Fine presentation.

alvaraalto (42804) 2019-07-09 6:35

Hello Alexandre,
This is of course a fantastic place for a selfie, but hanging there I think that taking photos is not the first priority.
Spectacular photo and luckily you have come all the way down.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

cornejo (61504) 2019-07-18 10:27

Ol� Alexandre, muito boa imagem desta interessante cena do dia a dia com o arriscado salto no vazio, muito bem captado nesta interessante imagem, com boa nitidez, luz, cor e qualidade. Um 髏imo trabalho feito com perfei玢o, meus parab閚s meu amigo. Obrigado por compartilhar este trabalho interessante.

Boa tarde e final de semana feliz.
Tudo de melhor do sul da Espanha.
Angel.

adramad (73030) 2019-07-22 10:22

Hola Alexandre.
Preciosa esta panoramica desde las alturas, que nos da una vision muy amplia de la playa y su bahia, formidable arena dorada y un mar de precioso color azul salpicado de grandes rocas, el pueblo se ve tranquilo y encantador.
Muy bonito color. Gran luminosidad y fant醩tica nitidez.
Buen trabajo. Me gusta.
Que tengas un bonito dia.
Luis.

carlo62 (81265) 2019-07-22 10:32

Ciao Alexandre
molto suggestiva ed efficace questa foto, per dare un maggior effetto avrei tagliato anche la pedana, ma � un piccolo dettaglio.
Bel colpo e bellissimo panorama aereo.
Saluti
Carlo
