As I wrote in another post, Cascais is a small town that still preserves some characteristics of the historical part. This is an example of its traditional narrow streets… this street is just by a British Pub I know… which I like a lot. And again: B&W.

Last November I got to the beach and met some surfers. So I spend a great time with them talking and shooting. This is on of the shots I got. Enjoy…

This is my kitchen with the table set for lunch. Two glasses and a blottle of red wine. Nice for some beef with rice. The lens’ apperture was wide open @ f/1.8 and the result was this.

This is a B&W shot taken last summer while I was using my uncle’s Nikon FE-10. I really like this picture because […]

Some days ago I was telling a friend: I post in my blog according to my mood. And maybe I’m right. By now, my photo-mood is B&W. Black and White is smooth and special. It’s strong. It doesn’t distract us from important picture items like texture, light, tones and so on.
A few days ago I […]

Seagulls are almost like those rocks. They’re part of the beach. These foot marks create some balance in this minimalistic image. I really love the looking of their marks. What do you think?
[Areia e gaivotas: As gaivotas são quase como estas rochas. São parte da praia. Estas pegadas equilibram a imagem minimalista. Gosto mesmo muito […]

This is a barbed wire fence in a agricultural camp in Alentejo. This fences allow very nice out-of-focus shots…Look at this one…
[Arame farpado: Isto é uma cerca de arame farpado num campo agrícola no Alentejo. Estas vedações permitem bonitas imagens com grandes áreas de desforque…Olhem para esta…]
