I wouldn't mind at all having skies like these all year around. Unfortunately that's not possible, and I have no other chance but to go through the whole boring summer season without shooting a single

Déjà vu Not much in the mood to write today, not even much in the mood to be around here to be honest. The truth is that in the end of the day your content doesn't really matter, assertiveness is just

One thing we can be sure of is that tomorrow will bring another sunset. At least for the next few thousand years. If all of us will be able to see it or not is a completely different story ^^ These two

A couple of Blueberry macro shots captured in Poland. These guys have it all, delicious and photogenic. Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm --- ISO 1000 --- f/20 --- 1/60 sec © 2019 @brumest. All rights reserved.

Two images from my gray diva. If you think you have considerable mood swings think again, my cat will beat you any day of the week ;) Sony a7 + Pentacon 50 1.8 --- ISO 1250 --- f/1.8 --- 1/200 sec © 2019

Besides many other qualities, the South of Portugal is known for its slow pace and generally very calm people. Can't really blame them for that. It's hard to engage in any type of more vigorous activities

Things have been pretty weird for the past few days. Not judging the commitment of people who's working hard to solve this mess at all, just saying this whole situation sucks for the common user. With

Don't ask me about the name of these because I simply don't know it. All I can say is that they belong to the "it's a pretty flower" specie. My wife's favorite. And if she says it's pretty it's

I don't know how about you, but I can easily imagine little Viking fairies drinking their favorite home made brew from these little Lichen cups. I have no clue what my wife added to the stakes today, but

This little fella was photographed during the same walk as the Scilla monophyllos I posted yesterday. I would love to know what specie this is and sound like a smart ass, but unfortunately butterflies

Two images photographed last October. These are Scilla monophyllos aka wild hyacinths. They grow all over the place here, specially in pine populated areas. Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm --- ISO 500 --- f/11

What a bumpy day, eh?. But it's these ups and downs that make the journey be worth something after all. And growing pains, either we like it or not, are simply unavoidable. Now you might be asking yourselves..

A little hint of color today, for a change. Pine flowers captured a couple of weeks before their anual pollen fest. Everything gets yellow around them when they start releasing it. Thank goodness it doesn't

This hasty fella was photographed somewhere in the south of Portugal, while hopping from leaf to leaf on a Hydrangea bush. Ok, ok... he was not exactly hopping, he was just snailing around at his normal

It's been a while since my last #caturday post. And I would have forgotten about it again if it wasn't for Suzy. She saw me playing around with the camera and approached me with that "human, human,

Well, a pretty self explanatory title right? This first one is a "simple" Rose that came up really nice. I love the softness and the tones in this image. Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm --- ISO 125

Another two images that got a long appointment with Dr. Brush today. These were posted here a while ago in their black and white versions. It all started with a couple of macro shots that after a serious

EDIT: I almost forgot.. There's a new Tribe and Token in town and exclusively dedicated to our loved Photography art. Feel free to check the discord and to get involved in this promising project! Playing

Today I revisited these two images. I posted them in black and white tones some time ago. Part of a Raspberry bush shot in Poland. Sony a7R + Carl Zeiss Biotar 50 1.4 --- ISO 100 --- f/1.4 --- 1/800 sec
