WTL Video 7


Footage captured with DJI Mavic Air and Canon 77D in several locations in Oliveira de Azeméis and Ovar, Aveiro, Portugal between 2018 and 2019.

Summer nearly there, June, my favourite month nearly coming and I can't go home and, like me, many people! To fight against the boredom and depression caused by the Covid-19, I got together some footage of my visits to my parents home in Portugal. Those clips were recorded on several visits and during different seasons like Winter, Spring and Summer and in several locations around my parents place, places of my childhood and that I always go back when I'm in Portugal. 
The little park with the chapel is called "Parque de La-Sallette". It's a little park at the top of a hill in the city of Oliveira de Azeméis. It's a very popular spot for a walk and to practice exercise but it's highlight is in August when we celebrate the "Festas de La-Sallette" with concerts, 2 big processions and a large range of attractions perfect for family and friends to gather... of course now that is hard with the Covid!
I got footage in 2 different beaches also! One is the most popular one, "Furadouro" in Ovar, is where everybody goes and, the other one, "Praia dos Marretas, Torrão do Lameiro", is a bit more secret, it's a "desert beach" with only pine tree forest, sand and sea! That is were I got that beautiful time-lapse of the sunset!
But this video is really special because my boys are there! My two nephews, João "the skateboarder" and Eduardo "the drone assistant". They are growing, soon they won't be teenagers anymore and this video brings back to life my little adventures with the two of them!
I hope you enjoy and I hope this video makes you want to know a bit more about the Aveiro Disctrict!
Stay safe!

Verão quase aí, Junho, meu mês favorito quase chegando e eu não posso ir para casa e, assim como eu, muita gente! Para combater o tédio e a depressão causados ​​pelo Covid-19, reuni algumas cenas das minhas visitas à casa dos meus pais em Portugal. Esses clipes foram gravados em várias visitas e durante diferentes estações do ano, como inverno, primavera e verão e em vários locais perto da casa dos meus pais, lugares da minha infância e que eu sempre volto quando estou em Portugal.
O pequeno parque com a capela chama-se "Parque de La-Sallette". É um pequeno parque no topo de uma colina na cidade de Oliveira de Azeméis. É um local muito popular para passear e praticar exercício, mas o destaque é em Agosto, quando celebramos as Festas de La-Sallette com concertos, 2 grandes procissões e uma grande variedade de atrações perfeitas para a família e amigos se reunirem .. Claro que agora é difícil com o Covid!
Também fiz filmagens em 2 praias diferentes! Um é o mais popular, "Furadouro" em Ovar, é onde todo mundo vai, a outra "Praia dos Marretas, Torrão do Lameiro" é um pouco mais secreta, é uma "praia deserta", com apenas pinhal, areia e mar! Nessa praia foi onde gravei o time-lapse do pôr do sol!
Mas este vídeo é realmente especial porque meus meninos estão lá! Meus dois sobrinhos, João "o skatista" e Eduardo "o assistente de drone". Eles estão crescendo, logo não serão mais adolescentes e este vídeo traz de volta à vida minhas pequenas aventuras com os dois!
Espero que gostem e que este vídeo faça você querer saber um pouco mais sobre o Distrito de Aveiro!
Manthem-se a salvo!

Shot no.44







Photo taken at East Pier, Dún Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland in June 2019 with Lumix G9 with Leica lens 12-60mm.

I know that I have been absent for a long time, I'm sorry! Now I'm back with new gear and new motivation! 
I haven't been shooting at all, I was uniquely dedicated to studies and work. But that will change now! Studies are finished and I have extra motivation to go out and photograph!
This photo was taken immediately after finishing my final assignment! It was taken with my brand new Lumix G9, yes I'm back to mirrorless cameras! I made a little clip to introduce it in May that I posted on my personal Instagram and you can watch it above. However, I still have my Canon 77D, I like it too much to get rid of it. Actually, a few minutes after taking the first photos, when I was packing my gear, I had my 77D on my hands when I notice that some clouds were passing in front of the sun. I just had time to remove the lid and shoot, didn't even realized that I had the 50mm lens on! Couldn't miss that dramatic light over the clouds!
Let's see if having now two good cameras will increase my productivity! xD

Solo Shot 30


Photo taken in Lucan, Co. Dublin in February 2019 with Canon EOS 77D and Canon lens EF 50mm f/1.8.


One of the pleasures of waking up early is to be welcomed by a scenario like this.
