My Lisbon Trip: Part (1)

Hello Raid
Thank you for posting these nice Lisbon pictures – I see that you took a deep dive into the heart of Lisbon night – great work!.
I don’t want to start a thread on this but just a comment on grafitti – which I, in most cases, don’t like: they are forbidden, but my son, who is finishing his degree in graphic design, went to a state-sponsored school where they had a “grafitti crew” – they learned the techniques of spray-paint and were encouraged to paint old walls (with permission or if requested by the owners). It is difficult to control this practice. Worst cases are the inscriptions /paintings on stone monuments, they cause permanent damage and are hard to remove.
I look forward to your future posts
Best regards
Joao

Hello Joao,
This is very interesting that grafitti is being picked up by graphic design schools. It is like a popular art, I guess. The damage is greater than any benefit from it, though.

Here we have from left to right:

Nuno, Miguel, and Joao.

I used a CL with CV 25mm/4 during this part of our walk in Lisbon.
 
Congratulations, dear Raid.
Your images are really nice and I like the night scenes particularly.
My scanner isn't back from the repairshop yet, so I haven't even seen my own photos.
I'll keep waiting for your Lisbon 3 series too.
Regards,
Nuno
 
Hello Nuno!
It was great meeting you and the other RFF members in Portugal. Your hospitality made the brief trip a wonderful experience that I want to repeat in the near future with my family.

Regards,
 
Hello Raid
again a great set. I am especially pleased with the light of the indoors pictures (the "Brasileira " cafe and the "Trindade" beerhouse). Very nice work!
Best regards
Joao
 
Hope you liked Portugal, very good photos you got :)

Next time try to visit Porto. It's quite different from Lisbon... ;)

Hi Joao,
These are place that you picked for me to see in our walking tours. With the flash turned off, the Fuji Natura did an excellent job in exposing the indoor photos.

Greetings,
 
Hi Sergio,

Your photo is a really good one. Thanks.
I will look up information about Porto.
 
My home town of Coimbra is an hour south of Porto and is one city that shouldn't be missed. :) It's the old capital but still the capital... of love, as the song goes. Coimbra as a city is to me what a 35 Summicron ASPH is to Magus.

Nando,
If I had more time available, I would have rented a car to drive around in Portugal. Why is Coimbra the Capital of Love? :D
 
Did you know that Lisbon is famous in Europe with photographers for the specail light that you can find there? I saw two model shoots when I was there in the street and they were speaking foreign languages. I think it is because of the sea salt in the air and the way that the sun reflects off the pale coloured cobbel stones. There is a rosy colour and pastel blue that appear. It suits the cream colours of the stone so well. Thanks for the great photos. I love that city and would like to go back one day. cheers
 
Raid your Lisbon trip was fabulous. Looks like a place i'd love to visit. This is certainly the cream of what RFF is all about. Thanks for sharing your joy with us.:)

Thanks, Ian.
No, I did not know this fact. Miami is known in the USA for modeling because of the sunny days and the art deco buildings and the beaches.

It is a splendid place to visit [again].
