The World of XPILAR - B&W PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART CONTEST WEEK #041 - Surprise Me! [ENG/ESP]
“The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us.”
Francois de la Rochefoucauld
Surprise Me!
I took this image three years ago, during a walk to the beautiful, but unfortunately deteriorated, old town of Puerto Cabello, a Venezuelan port city located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. According to legend, its name would come from the calm or meekness of its waters, where a ship could be moored with "a strand of hair".
To modify the original photo, as I have done for previous publications, I made use of the PicsArt application, using a filter overlay, starting with a filter of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) type in order to enlarge the tones of the image original, and later I used a Black & White filter.
Tomé esta imagen tres años atrás, durante un paseo al hermoso, pero lamentablemente deteriorado, casco histórico de Puerto Cabello, ciudad portuaria venezolana ubicada a orillas del Mar Caribe. De acuerdo con la leyenda, su nombre provendría de la tranquilidad o mansedumbre de sus aguas, donde podría amarrarse un buque con "una hebra de cabello".
Para modificar la foto original, tal como lo he realizado para publicaciones anteriores, hice uso de la aplicación PicsArt, empleando una superposición de filtros, comenzando con un filtro del tipo HDR (High Dynamic Range) con la finalidad de ampliar los tonos de la imagen original, y posteriormente usé un filtro de Blanco & Negro.
