Dusk again and tide was coming down…felt great to be alone here and listening to the waves slowly crashing on the shore, almost as if silence can’t, and should not be, disturbed. A beautiful end of afternoon on the beach, once again... Have a wonderful weekend everybody :)

A series of very long exposures shot way after the sun had set. This one was shoot around 7.12 pm at ISO 800. The colors depicted were achieved by playing with white balance, ISO, exposure time, filters and polarizers all at once (the "bend and break" approach aka "let's see what comes out of it", LMAO)

Title and words by Over the Rhine, a band i had the pleasure to hear about yesterday. It's beautiful.
Yeah, never be in too much of a hurry: photography is about endless time and patience.

Harness the power of the sea by building tidal barrages to exploit the movement of the water caused by tidal currents is the next move of researchers and governments. But what are the advantages and impacts on our environment?

I can shoot frames for hours. The movement and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks sooths me to the point where i totally forget time and surroundings. So frequently, after water shooting sessions, i end up with hundreds of very similar frames and people around me say: " Oh, but they all look the same" well, uh... not for me. I can notice the smallest differences between all the frames and relate them to every thought crossing my mind while i was shooting 'em. This one was shot standing from a very high spot on the cliff look down to sea. (see where Luis is standing on the previous shot)

i can spend hours looking and shooting wildflowers. Actually i could spend hours looking and shooting anything. I just forget everything else in this world. It's definitely an addiction but it's also called "practice the art of seeing". True, the more images you take with your camera, the better you will become at seeing how your camera sees. Of course, this a great excuse for endless pleasure hours :)))

It's amazing how fast color temperature changes when a new day rises. Warmer colors at the lower end of the color temperature range: Yellow, orange and red merge in a graded scale of color.
...fate chooses relations, i will choose my friends.
My dear friend T. shot yesterday while enjoying the most beautiful, tranquil scenario and after watching the great ball of fire rise up, a very special moment i have to tell you. I've never seen such a beautiful sunrise...
Israel’s agricultural experience is unique. Despite the pervasive shortage of water, historic
soil erosion and dryland conditions, a 2017 OECD report recognizes Israel’s annual growth rate in total factor productivity for agriculture as being far above the world average.
Israel’s innovations in agricultural technologies, institutional framework and policies have already begun to
show their potential to contribute to progress in improving conditions for smallholders in
Africa and Asia.
This image was taken in a farm located in the North of the country, in the area of Lake Tiberias.
March 07 While the sun was still strong to shoot the water, the cliff was illuminated by golden light and wrapped by a vivacious blue sky. It really deserved to be shot! :)

The day i shot this was just an incredible weather day: we had a stormy cloudy sunrise, enjoyed a sunny and warm day and met a big storm and rain at end of the day. All in one! Geez! my camera couldn't take it anymore. ok, that's it for today but i still have a thousand shots from the weekend. :)
Portugal accounts for 50% of the world cork harvest. Cork Oaks live about 150-250 years. Here you cannot legally cut down these beauties except for forest management felling of old, or unproductive. It's a protected species and unbelievable beautifull!! See the large versions of this and other works here!

Due to the recent Flickr changes and the censorship policies some Friends are moving to Ipernity! Although i do not have my photographs there yet, i also opened a single account and hung there a bit. It's a cool place, very similar to flickr. I might even starting publishing there if Ipernity offers me a PRO account, LOL. Check it out www.ipernity.com/home/matildeb
Last sunday, after raining all night and morning, the afternoon was superb. Like somebody would say: After a storm comes bonanza!
Today, early morning on the sand dunes of Guincho. Have a beautiful weekend, everybody!

Vasco da Gama was, until december 1999 and before the swedish built Oresund Bridge, the largest bridge in Europe with a length of 17.2 km (10 miles), 10 km of which are over the Tagus river. It was inaugurated on the 4th of April 1998. Located right next to the Nations Park (former site of the Expo 98) it got its name on the same year of the 5th centenary of the arrival of Vasco da Gama to India and it has been designed to withstand an earthquake four times greater than the 1755 earthquake that devastated Lisbon.
Everytime i cross this bridge, i feel like stopping my car and shoot all the possible marvelous shots from up there, believe me there are infinite possibilities waiting and some days the views are just overwhelming beautiful ...:)

Well yeah, Magoito (Mag8) is, by now, a very well known site in my stream! :) Sorry for the lack of creativity :) See this big.
I know, it's not the best composition but it was not possible in any other way. The place is tricky, very muddy and dangerous. Anyway, I like the sense of silence this image conveys. The only thing we could hear were the flamingos and the frogs.

The sea was very rough today, and dangerous, with the tide coming up very fast. I just realized that we will have full moon, again, 4 days. Frost Moon, as they call it, is the first full moon after Harvest Moon which happened in October (see photo). Frost Moon, appears brighter than other full moons and it occurs at the point when the moon is closest to the earth due to the elliptical orbit. We could feel her strength in the sea waters, today. This is a 102' exposure way after the sun was gone. While the composition is a result of the impossibility of going any further on the terrain, the blues are great. You must agree.

It's a lagoon called Lagoa de Mira. It is a beautiful place, the bad part of it's story is that politicians have started to create these artificial islands in the middle of it, that do make nice photographs but are totally stupid and are not necessary since this place is just gorgeous all by itself. Somehow we need to stop creative politicians!
Beautiful morning, wonderful light and the hope to see it again tomorrow. rise up
Frozen moments from our software house Annual Meeting Best software house in Lisbon :) and all really cool nerds! Check 'em out.
Sunrise, IMHO, it's the most higly rewarding moment to spend close to nature when you are a photographer. There is nothing like it. It's by far my most favorite time of the day to wonder around with my camera. The silent moments, the bird singing, the fog and dew that goes away with the first warming sunlight rays, wild flowers, some simple yet elegant, others colorful and a lot more sophisticated, a breakfast picnic under the old oak tree. Simple moments that pull me up and make me happy, a great boost to start the week! Have a nice one, everybody.
Oh yeah, the big size rocks!!
In life, the paths you take and the choices you make are all about finding your place in the world.
Shot at Nations Park (Parque das Nações) around 6.30 p.m.
"Santiago is the very old Cuban fisherman whose been unable to catch a fish for eighty four days. Santiago has an apprentice called Manolin. Manolin adores the old man but his parents tell him he must stop fishing with Santiago because he is not catching any fish or making any money."
Ernest Hemingway, "The old man and the sea" 1952.
These words remind me of problems traditional fishermen are currently struggling with caused by overfishing done by huge and sophisticated vessels that sweep away the bottom of the sea, polution, bycatch (the killing of many species while fishing others), fishnet sizes, lost fishnets responsible for the killings of hundreds, may be thousands, of mammals and other related problems. We have to learn to preserve what we have while we still have time. Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium ( I love the MBAYAQ) and learn what you can do to help Save the Oceans!
