Day one. The well marked path that always lead you to free Wi-Fi and a climb up the Labruja steep slope. #camino #caminodesantiago #portugal #minho #fujixe3 #vsco
This week, while walking the Camino de Santiago, it’s all about the weight: I’ll be carrying all my stuff, between clothes, gear and some snacks. So when I was packing able to keep the total weight of my bag below 7 kg, and for that I needed to keep my gear minimal. This is all all be carrying (besides batteries and cards):- Fuji X-E3, my lightest body- XF 18mm and XF 27mm, my lightest lenses

Right now I’m at Ponte de Lima, in Northern Portugal, a charming village in the Portuguese Saint James path (Camino de Santiago). In the next week I’ll be walking the 150 km between me and Santiago de Compostela. I’m hoping to be able to share some of my progress right here, stay tuned to my Stories!

Walking again the paths of transhumance. Long gone are the days where the herds would be moved this way between winter and summer pastures, progress made it obsolete. Nowadays is a memory and a tourist attraction. #portugal #beirabaixa #gardunha #transhumance

Every end of summer the herds passed through the streets of Alpedrinha, moving from summer to winter pastures. Nowadays that’s remembered and celebrated in the closed streets of the small village. #transhumance #chocalhos #alpedrinha #beirabaixa #Portugal

Later this month I’ll be walking 150km of the Camino de Santiago, this Portuguese Way to be more accurate. That meant that in the last few weeks I’ve done some walking to get myself fit for it, a lot of walking actually. Despite carrying some geary on those, after all I need to practice with a full back pack, photos haven’t been a priority in those walks. That doesn’t mean I won’t stop if I find interesting stuff along the way!
A long time I showed Luís how mirrorless cameras are great for mounting vintage lenses, now he’s one of the biggest addicts of mounting strange glass that I know, and just put his experience into a lengthy post! Vintage lenses: perfect imperfection
I could apply this as is to other genres, like travel photography where exotic locals sometimes are seen not more than photographic subjects… How Photography Exploits the Vulnerable - NY Times
