Photog stuff
Voting done, shopping done, lunch is already ongoing, time to put some effort in my huge photo backlog.
Kraig releasing his Huemul Circuit video is just what I needed for this weird Friday. Such a good flashback, although to be a proper one I must see it in reverse because I hiked it in the opposite direction.
O Ruca e a Matia achavam que aquela coisa onde trocaram as alianças e tal era a cerimónia a sério. Nem sabiam o que os esperava no Annapurna! Nem eles nem nós!!
Há várias coisas que gosto na Livraria Palavra de Viajante, a começar pela Ana e a Dulce, mas esta é uma das minhas preferidas: a mesinha à entrada com os livros em destaque, quase sempre com tema a juntá-los, sempre bem escolhidos!
Volta a energia (aqui demorou um bocado mais que nos arredores), ligo a TV, está o Ventura a arregaçar as mangas!
The worst part of building a new website is writing the About Me page…
Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava
O dia inicial inteiro e limpo
Onde emergimos da noite e do silêncio
E livres habitamos a substância do tempo
It’s great that Nikon is open to vintage inspired cameras, but what would be even better would be lenses, and I’m not even talking about vintage look. A new take on AF-D lenses for Z mount!
One of my questions for my new photo website is whether having comments or not. A static website (how I chose to build it) will always require an external solution, I don’t think a paid service makes sense and free solutions (like Disqus) are a privacy nightmare. Probably I’ll go without it.
Almost there 😊
The slow moments at back at Annapurna, which kind of fit in today’s rainy day.
I have a little page where I post the stuff that caught my eye (https://tirelesseye.tumblr.com/), a simple little curation of what inspires me. This used to be almost exclusively Instagram, but a funny trend has been happening: there are more and more items from Flickr.
Getting something new almost out there 😉
The same story that has happened over and over again in Lisbon: a real estate fund bought the building, likely to be become another hotel, and the store will likely be part of its lifeless lobby.
There are some news related with my presets for Darktable (or styles, I never know what to call those…).
TLDR: it’s a new site and I moved things around in Github, but please take a look nevertheless, and share your feedback you want to!
I was fortunate to follow Maria’s project from afar, in exhibits or talks, and every time I felt touched by it. Seeing it awarded in World Press Photo truly makes me happy. Congratulations!
People walking around in airport lounges with neck pillows is a bit silly, but ok, I do get it. People walking around with those downtown is just stupid. Even if you came from the airport.
When you have to stop to enjoy the view. Flashbacks from Huemul and the Southern Patagonian ice field.
Fact: I really want a Fuji GFX100RF! Still… That aspect ratio dial feels like a gimmick.
Josef Koudelka, in the presentation of the GFX100RF, sharing some bits of wisdom between all the marketing stuff: the secret to good photography is good shoes!
