This picture was shot at Figueira da Foz. The sky was really beautiful!

Day #28 - Star Bokeh
This picture is an experiment using the shaped bokeh technic inspired by this article. This photo was shot with the precious help of my friend Pedro who also lended me a 50mm 1.8 lens for this picture. To know how I shot this picture follow the article link above. Just to let you know this is a picture of a set of candles. :D

Day #27 - New toy
This amazing camera was loaned to me by a friend for some time and it's my new toy! It's a Canon Canonet QL 17 GIII. A rangefinder with a fantastic 40mm 1.7 lens! Can't wait to start experimenting. Too bad I can't shoot any photo for this project with it since it's not digital and the film must be sent for printing...

Day #23 - Do I know you?
I was about to take a picture of this turtledove that was singing on top of this electric pole when suddenly another small bird landed on the wires. The dove interrupted her concert and looked at the little bird, that was staring at her too. The first one was looking down at the other bird like if she didn't want to share the picture.

Day #19 - Self Portrait
It would have to happen, sooner or later... As Carlos suggested there was a lack of people photos on the blog and, since I never shot any self portrait, here it is. It was also a nice opportunity to play around with my recently purchased remote shutter trigger.

Shot this picture when driving from Figueira da Foz to Coimbra, tonight. Wish I could have experimented more but I ran out of battery on the camera...

Day #15 - The Keys!
Finally the keys!!! Today the picture is special because it really means something to me. After a long time searching for the ideal place to settle I finally have the keys to my new apartment! Yes!!! First thing to buy: a freezer; second thing: beer. (or maybe the beer first... I'm still thinking about it...)

Day #10 - Reading by Candle Light
Today I went to visit my grandmother. I took my camera with the intension of shooting today's picture at her house. When I arrived at her living room I saw that she had this book on the table with her glasses on top. I imidiatly thought that would make a nice picture. She also had a candle on the table. So I lit the candle (candles always make a very nice light effect), adjusted a bit the elements on the table for a better composition, turned all the lights off, and here it is.

Day #9 - Coimbra Aqueduct
A picture of the Coimbra Aqueduct. This photo was actually a suggestion from my friend Pedro who told me that a shot from this spot would make a great picture.

Day #6 - Who's there?
I was sitting at my desk, browsing the internet and thinking about what would I shoot today... This teddy bear, that my girlfriend gave me about 10 year ago, was sitting on the shelf next to me and I thought: "This guy would make a very nice subject for the photo today!". So I came up with this idea. I turned off all the lights in my room, putted the teddy bear into place and got my friend Carlos to hold a flashlight to get the light effect. Here it is! Enjoy!

Day #5 - The fire is out...
A day like this would come, sooner or later... I had absolutely no time to shoot today so, some minutes ago, when I finally had time to grab the camera, I couldn't get away from the sofa next to the fireplace. And here it is: an absolutely amazing photo of the fireplace :p! There will be a lot of days like this during the project but better days will come and, hopefully, better pictures too. Only 360 days left. :D

Day #2 - Haunted Road
Shot this one when I was on the way to my girlfriend's house tonight. It's a long exposure photograph (30sec) and the red effect on the left I got from my car's tail lights. It looks like a haunted road like the ones in the movies... The only thing missing is the creepy guy asking for a lift. :D
