Lisbon After Dark - Gringa Steemfest Travel Series Pt.11
“I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.” ~ Vincent van Gogh
Hey Steemians, and Steemiets! I had such a great time photographing every possible moment at Steemfest. I honestly haven't spent enough time working on my photography skills outside of food so this was a great opportunity for me. One of my favorite occasions during my traveling was this one night in Lisbon when @noboxes and I took to the streets and explored some of the inner parts of the city at night. I didn't realize before visiting that Lisbon is such a lovely city full of historical monuments and intricately designed mosaic walkways.
Dark photography is pretty challenging as anyone familiar with cameras will know, so it was fun to test what I've learned about it through my years of photo-taking. Since I always use natural daytime light for my food photos these type of shots are pretty uncharted waters for me.
So I've always known this about myself, but visiting two new big cities confirmed it for me even more; cities are great to visit but I'd never want to live there for a long period of time. Personally I prefer the peace and freedom of more rural living. That's probably why the rustic mountain life of North Idaho appeals to me so much. But don't get me wrong, I do so enjoy spending time in the city. A huge part of city life that fascinates me is how everything simply transforms in the night time. It's kind of magical.
What about you? Are you a city dweller or more of a nature type?
ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21
