The last month has been a bit on the slower side, with not that many photos taken as work (including photographic chores) has got in the way. So it was nice to finally go out with the usual suspects, my local crew of Fuji and other mirrorless shooters, and wander in Alfama, with its streets ever more crowded and the river that’s harder and harder to see from the streets. #street #lisbon #portugal #t3mujinpack

I’m not the most organized photographer, but in the last photo trips (and doesn’t need to be long ones) there are two habits I’ve been religiously maintaining:As soon as I return import the photos and run all my backup jobs, so that they’re safely stored,And don’t delete immediately the photos from my SD cards and travel backup storage (I usually keep two copies of the photos while on the road), not out lazyness but to have yet another backup in case the imports and culling go wrong, sometimes it remains there for weeks or even months. Today the later came to my rescue: somehow I deleted two days of Iceland photos, and that error already had propagated to my main backups. What could have been a disaster was just an annoyance of having to import those days again from the “original” storage devices, and eventually I’ll have to go through all those photos again.Moral of the story: backups do save your ass, and the more you have the merrier!
I was challenged to explain my Top 3 photos of 2019. You can check out the result on my Instagram Stories! www.instagram.com/t3mujin/

Having the first Monday after daylight savings changes (meaning suddenly night falls one hour earlier) in a day where clouds and rain covered the horizon is a brutal reminder that one season has ended, and another is starting.#beirabaixa #portugal
As I was heading to the Denver airport, about to start my journey back to Lisbon, the driver that was taking there (a Puerto Rican that loved Portuguese food since his days in New Jersey) asked if I was missing home. I did think for a moment before replying, in the end the truth is that I rarely miss home, but I always enjoying returning.

Already back home, time for sorting, importing, backuping. But there are still some images in my head, and in my phone also. The ones in my phone I’ll be sharing in the upcoming days, the ones in my head are for myself 😉 Iceland 🇮🇸 2019 #iceland #ísland #travel
Just making the best of the last hours on Denver. Making the last-minute shopping, going to that place you still haven’t explored, returning to that cool spot you found and want to check one more time. 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #denver #street






Sunday is match day!!🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #denver #street #denverbroncos #broncos





Back in town… Sunny and calm Saturday, spent chillin here and there in Denver, like everybody else.🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #denver





Amazing what an overnight 25°C temperature drop and a snowfall can do to a place, as white covers almost everything… 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #rockymountains #rockymountainnationalpark





As expected, the forecast was out for some days, temperatures plunged during the night (to - 9°C) so the morning woke cold and white. That much snow meant that, although open, the roads on Rocky Mountain National Park weren’t recommend for “normal” cars. So I had to stay a bit longer in town, good thing elks come to my motel and there’s a pretty creek by the city centre. 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #estespark #rockymountains





If Tuesday was mostly spent on the higher areas of the park, Wednesday was on the lower ones, between lakes, autumn colors and elks. And for Thursday there’s a surprise scheduled, lets see how it goes…🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #rockymountains #rockymountainnationalpark





Sunseting in the Rocky Mountains, not a G&T or DJ in sight.
One of the oldest National Parks, and one of the favorites: even on a weekday you meet someone (wise decision to avoid the weekend). I’m a sucker for mountains, so here I’m at home, specially when there’s a breathtaking curvy road going through the park’s higher section, and I drove it the last day before it closes for the winter! 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #rmnp #rockymountainnationalpark #rockymountains #fujifilm_xseries #vsco





A Monday mostly spent on the road, but that started pretty much the way it started: looking for autumn colors, and between those lots of places in between seasons, closed or almost, after the summer that finally ended and the winter that’s still far away🇺🇸 #usa #colorado





Moving around , and getting closer to Rocky Mountains National Park… 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #fujixt2




Exactly one year ago I finished the Portuguese Way of the Camino de Santiago, and reaching the Obradoiro square in Compostela that late morning is probably one of my best travel moments of all time. Now I’m honestly thinking doing that again, as there so many different paths to heading to Compostela. www.instagram.com/p/BopoGOn…
Time to plunge into nature, because that’s that’s one of the main reasons that brought me here. And this is the season of nature putting together its pretty colors. 🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #nature #fujixt2 #fujixe3 #fujifilm_xseries #vsco

It’s official, Iceland is done, for now… For now you can browse all the previews I’ve shared throughout those days:https://updates.joaoalmeidaphotography.com/tagged/IcelandAnd revisit the behind the scenes and other random stuff on Instagram Stories, under the Iceland 2019 highlights:https://www.instagram.com/t3mujin
Iceland is on my back… Flown over the ocean to another continent, and if I’d blink my eyes too long I’d might ended up in the Pacific coast.🇺🇸 #usa #colorado #fujixt2 #fujifilm_xseries #vsco
