This one almost went unnoticed: Sean Tucker, an inspiring photographer and the creator of one my favorite photography YouTube channels, was in town and setting up photowalk but the instagram algorithm kindly hid it from me. Kudos to my mate João for the heads up!Photowalks are rarely a time for great photos, but always a perfect to hang out with some fellow photographers and get new ideas, specially if someone talented like Sean is coming along. In the end end being a really nice and sunny Saturday morning, and in between all that we may get out a few nice shots out of the memory cards! #street #lisbon #Portugal #fuji_xseries #vsco
All the winter festivities in Northeast Portugal have in common warm welcome so common in this part of the country, but each have their own thing, their own vibe. Some are more fast paced than others, some don’t even have masks. At Vila Boa one of the most distinctive features has to be how things are build around bonfires: gathering hay and wood to build them, lighting them, jumping over them… #onthego #portugal #trasosmontes #vilaboa #entrudo #entrudochocalheiro #caretos #fujifilm_xseries #vsco
Back from Northern Portugal, a drive that’s getting more and more familiar to me, and from a place that I’ve been coming back in the last few years by Shrove Tuesday. Back to the masks running through the streets, back to the warmth of the open wine cellars, back to the bonfires waiting for the brave to jump over them (but more on than later…). #onthego #portugal #trasosmontes #vilaboa #entrudo #entrudochocalheiro #caretos
Still this weekend’s day spent with some of my local Fuji crew, this time picking some shots taken with my own camera while wandering Évora and Monsaraz; although not entirely “borrowed gear free”, as a big part of the day was spend test driving the XF 16-80mm f4, which turned out to be a quite a competent “allrounder” lens.#portugal #alentejo #fujifilm #fujifilmxpt #fujixfocus
One of the nice perks of hanging out with my local group of Fuji-shooters is that some times we happen to have the local reps with us, that bring some shiny gear for us to play around, just like this past weekend where we went out to our lovely Alentejo region and I got to play a bit with the new X100V. All photos are JPEGs from the camera using Classic Negative film simulation.#portugal #alentejo #fujifilm #x100v #fujifilmxpt #fujixfocus
Waking up early on a mild but still winter Sunday to catch some fish #street #lisbon
The previous weekend I went on a walking tour, not the kind of thing I would do in my own hometown, but Carlos Carneiro (he has no instagram, but can be found here: www.carlosalmeidacarneiro.com/lisboa-a-…) has put up a quite interesting and really off-the-beaten track itinerary exploring the city’s borders, going through some of the invisible parts of the city, even for locals, and starting in the overly photographed and cliché riverfront and ending on the northern suburban limits of the city, following the formal but also the hidden borders of the city.#lisbonborders #lisbon #portugal

Taking my camera downtown, to my little Saturday afternoon program, and shooting some shots along the way… #street #lisbon #portugal
Some days ago I wrote about the cold, frosty mornings of Trás-Os-Montes. Here the lens of my mate João Maia captured me in one of those mornings.
