A day with Sean Tucker

by Luís Costa, posted in Everyday life

Last Saturday I had the chance to participate in a photowalk organized by Sean Tucker. If you don’t know who he is, I urge you to checkout his youtube channel and his instagram: not only he is an amazing photographer, but he also shares some very interesting photography-related contents on his youtube channel, a lot of it focused on the more philosophical side that rarely gets discussed.

I have to say when I first learned about this “instameet” I was unsure if I should go because I knew it was going to be pretty crowded and chaotic. But I’m happy I did because it was great to hear some of Sean’s thoughts in first hand and meet other like-minded street photographers.

Of course it was quite a challenge to get any interesting shots in the middle of large dozens of other photographers, but in the end it turned out better than I expected and I got a few keepers.

Here are some of my favorites from that morning:

A day with the Fuji gang – part I

by Luís Costa, posted in Everyday life

Yesterday I had the privilege of participating in a photo-walk organized by Fujifilm Portugal in the beautiful village of Monsaraz and also in Évora. It was a great day of fun with other Fujifilm nerds like myself, full of geek talk, good food and breathtaking landscapes… there was hardly any time to photograph, but somehow we managed to snap a few (hundred) shots! 😉

Surprisingly, the keeper rate was much higher than I thought, so I’m going to split this in a few posts to avoid crashing wordpress with too many photos. I used both the x100F and the X-pro3 with my jpg color recipes for each camera.
