People that like to be on the bleeding edge and use my #t3mujinpack presets for #Darktable straight from Github instead of the formal releases: the support for hierarchical styles meant a massive rename, so it’s highly recommended to remove and reinstall all styles.https://github.com/t3mujin/t3mujinpack
As a rule of thumb, I always carry a camera with my in my daily commutes #inprogress #street #lisbon This and more with higher quality on my #flickr stream bit.ly/2I2liL5
Going to familiar places with a different a different perspective, literally! Ever since moving to the Fujifilm X system I lost options in the wider range, because wide-angle lenses had fallen out of favour with me and I never bough one in this system. But I was feeling the need of something a bit wider, and when the XF 16mm f/2.8 was announced (keeping with the very compact build of recent Fuji lenses) I knew it would a perfect fit for my kit. Now that it finally arrived to my bag it was time to take out to the streets I know so well, and get used to a focal distance I wasn’t that used to lately.

Sometimes all you need is a slow, lazy, sunny Sunday with your people…
One of the cool things of bringing along new people in your trips, specially to places you already know, is seeing their different take on the subject. Pedro came with me, João and Nicole as we returned to Trás-Os-Montes for the Entrudo, and I’m stoked with what he did
Fire to light the darkness. Fire as the symbol of light and life. Fire as a way to show one’s bravery and courage. #Portugal #entrudo #carnaval #carnival#trasosmontes #vilaboa #fujifilm_xseries #vsco #snapshot #instagram bit.ly/2ToJrCj

A tradition almost as solid as Carnival itself: saving the slow Monday between the busy Carnival Sunday and Tuesday to wander the roads of Trás-Os-Montes.Here a Transmontano Mastiff, one of a pack of five big dogs, guarding a flock of sheep in the pastures of Montesinho. Can’t get more Trás-Os-Montes than this!

Pretty end of day while roaming the Lousã mountain range. Time to get some rest and get ready for an early rise tomorrow. In the next few days I’ll back to the road to capture more masked traditions.

A sunny and mild Sunday in Lisbon, just walking around like eveyone else, with the difference I had a camera on my shoulder… #inprogress #lisbon #street #portugal This and more on my #flickr stream bit.ly/2BRKq3j
An update on my newsletter is long overdue, although there’s no fixed schedule to it. But I’d really like to wrap all of last year’s updates (and there are a lot of them) into a neat summary before jumping head first into this. That’s next on my list, but there’s still time before I hit the send button, which is likely to happen this weekend, so feel free to subscribe until then! eepurl.com/AOVF1
Every year, on Christmas day, there’s an auction to bid on who will be wearing this red and black mask. Everything’s done in secret so that on New Year’s day, at the early hours when the chocalheiro starts his lonely procession, no one knows who he is until it ends… …or he briefly takes it off for a gasp of fresh air.#portugal #mogadouro #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #mask #chocalheiro #chocalheirodebemposta
On the day of St John Evangelist (Die de San Juan Eibangelista , in Mirandese) the “pauliteiros”, along with musicians, will go to each house dancing, inviting and receiving offerings for the festivities. #portugal #trasosmontes #mirandadodouro #festadosmoços #festadesaojoaoevangelista #pauliteiros
Putting on red masks and red robes. Running down the village’s streets, eating, drinking, doing pranks. #portugal #grijodeparada #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask #careto
Two unavoidable things during these days: a table set with food and drinks, and plenty of people around it! #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask #mascaro
Thinking about what tricks to play next?Despite being the day after Christmas (there’s no such thing as Boxing Day here) that tree feels really out of place there.#portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask #mascaro
Putting the mask back on after a small break close to the end of the day, during the last winter solstice festivities at Ousilhão. Despite being a cold day it gets hot behind a wooden mask and under some heavy robes. #portugal #trasosmontes #wintersolstice #festasdesantoestevao #festadosrapazes #mask
