About me

I am just a retired bank worker, who fell in love by photography. Self taught through reading books and magazines, and also learning from some Photo Critique sites. Still in the learning process...

Usually I say that half of the fun comes from the camera and the other half comes from the computer. Love to use my photos to create new images, by manipulating and mixing them. Photoshop is "my" program, as well as a few chosen plugins.

Lately had photos published on two books, collectives of photographers, from Edições Vieira da Silva, Lisboa - "Da Luz (e) da sombra" and "Fragrâncias de Luz", as well as on several issues of the online POD magazine "DP-Arte Fotográfica", from MindAffair Lda., that also runs the site http://www.liquidimages.com.pt/

Skills

equipment

I began with a little 1.3 MB Sony, but soon changed to a bridge, the "late" Dimage A1. Then after a Nikon D70s and a Olympus E330, my camera is the OlyE3, that I mostly use with the 12-60 lens. To be always in my handbag I also like the Canon G11. Have an Olympus flash, but most of the time not even remember that I have it, and a tripod that, for a number of reasons, I never use...
