Not My Style

As part of a project a friend and I dreamed up, I agreed to photograph a day of my life. Not my sort of thing at all - photographs of record bore me utterly. But, as a one off, it was quite interesting, and I though I'd post the results here. You'll note everything looks underexposed. Do you find that pictures shrunk to tiny sizes have that effect? I do...

No Lucy, you are too small to come on a proper hike.



We've reached the mountains after a long blast over the tracks.



Dog and master in perfect harmony.



Spring is coming, finally.



Baby pine cone.



Mature pine cone.



Delphi loves a hike.



Tracks are now dry enough to get the logging trucks in and out.



And the skies are blue again.



River levels are still abnormally high - trail riding can get a bit scary.



Ruined house in the valley. It must have been hard to scratch a living here.



Climbing back out of the valley.



And back to the car. About 20KM round.



Car dropped off, bike picked up, time for a late lunch.



Cheese and ham toastie, jug of wine.



Down to Marinha beach for a bit of shooting. Rocks with fill in flash.






A friend of mine has a bar in Loule, with live music on a Saturday.



Shady locals mix with tourists and expats.



Mine Host.

And there you go. Quite fun to do. You try it...
