Captured Moments

These two photos taken at the City of Tomar in Portugal, are captured moments in different days, thought they were both shot at night. When I was on holidays in my home town Tomar, my wife, my son and I used to go out every night to enjoy that wonderful portuguese coffee called “bica”. Well my son as a teenager doesn’t like coffee, so he usually had a cold drink or perhaps an ice cream. Anyway, back to the story, after our coffee we would usually walk around the city enjoying those summer balmy nights. As I always carried my camera with me, I took photos of anything that called my attention.

So these two photos below are the result of those walks. The first one is Mouchao Park at night. This park is a very popular spot for both tourists and locals. It is a small island surrounded by the waters of river Nabao and it’s a wonderful place to be. The second one is a show window of a shop located in one of Tomar old streets.

I have a house in Cragie, which isn’t too far away from Burns Beach. One day in 2010 my wife, my son and I decided to see a few houses on show in the area and after that we ended up visiting this beach which was named after a farmer who used to run sheep over there, when the beach was only accessible by track or boat. Anyway this is a photo of the rocky area of the beach where algae is growing. I found this spot quite original.

Mandurah is located about 70Km south of the City of Perth in Western Australia. I spent an entire weekend there with my family in the summer of 2010. This beautiful place along the shores of the Peel-Harvey Estuary, has grown from a small place for holidays to one of the biggest regional cities in the Perth region. I shot this photo when I saw how beautiful it was the clouds formation in the horizon.

I have no commercial interest in talking about this place, but I have to say that the Breakwater Tavern at Hillarys Harbour in Perth, Australia is a great venue to visit with friends and family. They have a cocktail bar overlooking the harbour, a space for functions with great views, a lower deck space for lunch and breakfast with family and friends and a restaurant with stunning views across the harbour. Also and as you can see in this photo, those sunsets in summer days are just amazing!

I was leaving Hillarys Harbour, going back home when I saw the lights coming from the yachts parked at the marina and the reflection on the water. I didn’t have a tripod with me as I rarely use one. I prefer taking photos quickly and without much preparation, but in this case I wish I had one. However there was some kind of fence separating us from the water and that was my tripod of the moment. So I just rested my camera on that fence and shot this photo.

Australia is probably one of the few countries in the world where you can find a beach with few people or even with nobody around. Perth is no exception and here is an example. The photo below is a quiet spot I found at Mullaloo beach at sunset in one of the days of the summer 2009.
