Been meaning to climb up on the hill overlooking the Arade bridge at sunset for some time. Needed the right tide and light and a round tuit.

Got all of them. Two of these are from the Fuji XE4, one is from the iPhone 16 pro

thanks for sharing, that bridge and view, at sunset, is amazing!!!

@Snowgaze ❄️ it’s a lovely bridge in a great setting. I fear however that the best place to photograph it from may be spicy and forbidden. maps.app.goo.gl/dSXfebzGECwgPH…

@Snowgaze ❄️ (actually, if you pan left from the bridge on that, about midway between the two bridges was where I was standing)

I know that area well, always feel like stopping for a photo when we drive past at sunset, but never do. The little house by the bridge also catches my eye, one day I will go there just to take *that * photo. Thanks for the tip, I was wondering where you took the photo from.

@Snowgaze ❄️ So I was standing (if the link works) exactly here: maps.app.goo.gl/8U1d1wg2ybSsJY…

And on the road near the little house for the lower down view. I agree it’s very photogenic too.

One day I’ll do a similar capture for the Guadiana bridge, but right now that involves having to drive past far too many photos of bloody Ventura with his whole “graças a mim não há portagens” stuff.

🤩 saved it, will try to check it out in the summer. Thanks. My sympathies, can't stand those outdoors either 🤬.

@Snowgaze ❄️ seen the one near the Forum Algarve roundabout in Faro? It’s got a Hitler moustache on it.
in reply to Sarah Brown

very appropriate, though I think that suits him just fine.
in reply to Sarah Brown

Fairly certain I know the answer, but do you mind sharing which were the Fuji and which was the iPhone?
in reply to Tammy Gentzel

@Tammy Gentzel The closeup is the iPhone.

Uploading them to fedi has compressed the hell out of them. I took a load more (all raw mode) too, and on the big monitor the difference is very clear.

The phone is good, but it’s good for a phone. It can’t compete with big glass in front of a big sensor.

It’s also annoyingly prone to lens flare.

Tags like #photo, #mywork or #myphoto, among others, because I primarily like what people share about themselves. But I follow other tags too, of course.
There's a link, somewhere about tags/interests, I think it's on the left part of the Time-line...

A Happy year to you!
