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 didwww.instagram.com/p/BuxDUBU…

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.
