Hello from Portugal

[PedroDuarte]

Hello to all!
My name is Pedro and i'm in Portugal.
I'm 27 years old and i am a Interface & User Experience Designer.

I love photography but only recently i've managed to replace my old and damaged Nikon D70 with a Sony A550.

Along with the A550 i got a 16-80 CZ, 100-200 Minolta, Sony 50mm f1.4 and a Minolta 24mm f2.8.

I'm very happy with my bought. A step up from my D70 for sure


I really hope to enjoy my stay here and to give the best of me to the community

Thank you all
Pedro

Hi, Pedro and welcome to this wonderful forum.
Like me, you changed the system from Nikon to Alpha, and that probably is a wise choice
Nice lenses you acquired, BTW.

A big hello to Pedro from me as well. I'm sure we all look forward to your contributions, especially pictures .

I have visited Portugal for the first time this year. I had several business trips to Lisbon, and this gave me a few chances to see some of the countryside as well. I visited Torres Vedras to see the lines where the Portuguese and English fought the French in 1810, a long time ambition of mine. I fondly remember the marvellous Portuguese cakes and pastries from my vists, and of course the amazing weather and blue skies.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!
It's good to know you were in Torres Vedras. I was born there, but i live in a small fishing town called Ericeira. It's on the west cost ( 20km from Torres Vedras ), just by the sea.
It will be a pleasure to share photos of Portugal with you guys

Just for starters, here are 3 photos of where i live. It's a good place to live because, it mixes the ocean with the mountains an a natural protected forest ( in a historical village called Mafra )

I would be very pleased to welcome anyone coming to Portugal I really hope i can meet someone in Portugal or, if there's the opportunity, in the US during 2010

Bem vindo, amigo. Nunça estava in Portugal, mas gustaria visitar.

Okay, I'm rusty it's been a few years since I lived in Brasil.

If you visit the US, you're always welcome to stop by St. Louis and visit. I need the language practice.

Tchau,
Dusty

[PedroDuarte]

Ehehe thanks Dusty

You will notice some differences between the mainland Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

Portuguese ( from Portugal ) language it's more, how can i say, exquisite . ehehhee, it's harder to learn but i can "adapt" the Brazilian accent and grammar

For sure, if i go to US next year, i want to meet some of you guys!

Hi Pedro,

The first of the valley is magnificent. Love it. And the second monochrome is a nice one that I would of hung on my wall...

Thanks for sharing your historical / well-preserved vicinity and land.
