My first enthusiasm about the world of photography started a few years ago, around the year of 2003, through the website 1000 imagens. At that time I was still living in my country, Portugal, and I remember to be amazed with all those quality pictures shown in that website and started to think how great it would be to be able to capture images at that level.
It passed long time and I was already living in the UK, when I decided to buy my first SLR camera. I bought a Canon 450D in July 2008 and finally started to practice to photograph. In that year I created the Portuguese version of this space, in a blog format, not only to expose my pictures but as well to share with others the works of photographers that amazed me.
After some time of inactivity, in 2012 I've found very interesting tips about photography and it improved my interest in this field. In 2014 I acquired a Canon 70D, a few more lenses and some filters. I've been testing myself and this equipment in order to improve for a further step.
Over time, this space has been transformed, going from a blog to a more static photo gallery but with links to the corresponding publications on social networks, thus not losing that feedback that has helped so much in my learning, which I leave here my strongest thanks. In some way I feel myself as a photography amateur in its strongest meaning as this is an activity I really enjoy to do.
I have other blogs (in Portuguese language): Maravilhoso Mundo it's a compilation of science and geography subjects, Pioneiros, a trip in time focusing in the lives of all the ones who became in some way pioneers in this world and
Portugal Glorioso, a place where the diaspora is queen and Portuguese events, places or personalities are highlighted...
Unfortunately days have only 24 hours and our lives are busier than just leisure times, each of these activities should stay in a queue according to our own priorities.
