Our stay in Portugal slowly comes to an end but I won´t leave before I haven´t written one last post about that awesome country. I´m doing this by participating in the Wednesday Walk Challenge. We´ve been out a lot recently to soak up as much impressions as possible before we leave.
We came here to check out if this would be a country we could live in and it definitely is. So next week we´re going to South Africa but we will be back to Portugal end of the year to find our forever home.
Also just recently I bought a new phone, the iPhone 13 and I want to use this challenge to show you what this new phone is capable of doing in relation of photography.
First thing today was going on a short beach walk in Lagos and it´s incredible how sharp the photos are I took there and how how saturated the colors ar.é. Of course I did a bit of editing but even without the photos are great.
From there we went straight to Sagres which is the surf capitol of the Algarve. We haven´t been there for a while and today there were some massive waves rolling in and I had to watch it. Furthermore it´s a pretty nice little town that is always worth a visit.
My girlfriend had to pose today as I wanted to take as much different photos as possible and especially for portraits the phone is brilliant.
I know I look grumpy but it was only the sun that blinded me ;)
After some time at the beach watching waves rolling in and surfers getting absolutely smashed in these monster waves we went for some typical Portuguese lunch. Olives, bread and an yummy Octopus salad. Here, too, the iPhone convinces me with a really insanely good photo quality.
To round it up I took some Black & White photos that turned out pretty good as well. Actually I do like that first B&W shot the most. All in all I´m more than happy with my new phone and hope it serves me a few years.
What? If I can also do phone calls with it? No idea, haven´t tried it! 😂 Just joking, of course it works.
So for our upcoming trip I will use the phone a lot for daily quick shots and some street photography but I will also use my Olympus OM-D EM10 Mark II
