Theme 2: “Take the best photo of the place from where Luiz Vaz de Camões left Lisbon in 1553” – Luiz Vaz de Camões is one of the best writers in the Portuguese literature. He left Lisbon towards the East from Torre de Belém (Belém Tower), which is located right on the Rio Tejo (Tagus River).

[Theme 1]
On September 21st I took part on the FNAC Photo Marathon in Lisbon, Portugal. It was a 12 hours photo challenge, where we were shooting according to themes given during the day by the FNAC staff. At the end of each theme, a new one was given, making a total of 6. The funny part was that every theme was an enigma: the photographers were given a piece of paper with some sentence from a famous author and we had to figure out – using our smartphones almost all the time – who was the author behind that sentence. After that, we had to photograph what was being asked. So we were a group of approximately 130 energic and exhausted people receiving papers after papers, typing fast on our smatphones in order to discover what we really had to do, and then moving around the city in any kind of transportation available – some people even took cabs! And since I am not from Lisbon, I had a hard time in recognizing those authors, and especially the places where I was supposed to go next. I thank some angels that guided me without fearing that I could steal their ideas 🙂
Never clip my wings 
Excellent set, particularly the second with scaffolding reflected in water. Photography as an Olympic sport – interesting 🙂
Lol! It is for sure an Olympic sport! Thanks for your comment 😀
Especially like the toned image.
This was exactly the one I sent to the FNAC staff at the end 🙂 – we were supposed to choose only one per theme.
The most difficult task of a photographer…self-editing ‘:-)
I know, right? I had a hard time.. 🙂
Loved the one in color. First I thought the photo of the ocean on top of it is also a part of it 🙂
Haha it’s true, Gill! I love this “tiled mosaic” function in WordPress because sometimes it makes such interesting combinations of pictures! Thank you for your comment! 🙂 🙂
Love the image with the bird!
Thanks David! They are many in Lisbon!
