Photog stuff
- Plenty of videos in the stories walking in the streets with an action camera, saying “I’m in this really cool spot!”
- Visited country counter in the profile
- Linktree with all the affiliate links
Shopping before the rainy Sunday hits us.
“(…) perhaps a country that actually wants oursiders.”
More than the actual effectiveness Spain’s decision, which is a valid conversation, the condescending, almost white-saviour tone of this is amazing. As if we should welcome the money brought by the foreign rich man…
“Spain Has Lost Its Mind. A 100% Real Estate Tax is Your Sign to Move Elsewhere“
Still from last week’s march against racism here in Lisbon, something that, according to our prime-minister, is very radical to do…Let’s be radical then.
Pretty sunsets to close the day.
I’m growing more and more disconnected of many travel people sharing stuff in the webs, specially Instagram. Trying to avoid generalizations, that I truly hate to do, but there’s a specific pattern that I seem to have a part of my brain dedicated to it:
Rant mode off…
So… The thing now on Instagram is spamming by bulk liking my comments, despite being years old, so I eventually click their OF page?… 🙄
Moon today comes with a black myst filter included.
Regardless not planning to shoot large format on film, I tend to watch LOTS of it, it’s some of the best photography related content on YouTube.
It has been a strange few days, with the Meta owned services slowly moving closer to become X. Another blunt reminder that we must move away from these centralized services, that depend on the whim of their owner, into something more open, more decentralized, more transparent and where the user owns its data. This is very uncomfortable and somehow painful, but means transitioning from X, Facebook, WhatsApp to Mastodon, BlueSky, Signal, etc.
While I’m still the “old social media”, and kind of active, I’ve been much more present in this more decentralized and privacy conscious side of the internet, and that’s a trend to continue in this weird near future. Except on Signal, because it’s complicated to move people away from WhatsApp, but there’s still hope to change that this year!
In my mind, and because I’m often out and about during this season, the new year only formally kicks off when I return home. So let’s get this going!
Waking up to rain pouring just above my head. I’ve had worst Sunday mornings.
A regressar de Trás-Os-Montes, mas confuso com uma bola de luz no céu que não sei bem o que é…
Here we go again! Driving for a good chunk of Christmas day, just to reach the many winter solstice traditions happening in this upper right corner of the country. And starting strong with probably one of the best: Ousilhão.
Quick thoughts on Darktable’s new camera specific styles: gives a really nice starting point for processing, and for me that’s awesome, as I don’t like to spend a lot of time on it. Even better, you can change those styles.
Antes da consoada.
Not the winter meal you’d be thinking of, but hey, blessed are the modern freezers.
The very, very last rays of light of winter solstice. To a new cycle ahead of us.
Firmware update for X-T5 released, with fixes on the AF issues. Just in time of going to photograph the Winter Solstice stuff. Fingers crossed…
Sábado fui até à Palavra de Viajante ouvir a Tânia Muxima falar do Upper Mustang, onde tenho uma enorme vontade de ir. Claro que não é a Tânia na foto, mas este ar do Bernardo Conde de quem vai conquistar o mundo pedia um disparo! Mas as fotos dela vão estar lá nas próximas semanas, e valem a pena!
Sunday is shopping day.
