Around Portugal
This gallery features photos taken in Lisbon, Porto & Sintra in 2016, Portimao in 2018, and Porto, Amarante, Coimbra and Matosinhos in 2026.
In general, I’ve tried not to repeat posting shots from 2026 that were taken in 2016, unless the change within that decade became something of note in itself.
In the 2026 trip, I found myself relying on my iPhone 17 Pro Max for daylight shots and many of the low light shots, which speaks to how much there has been a change in technology in that decade.
The convenience of having a camera with a lens ranging from 13mm to 200mm at the flick of a finger has made casual photography much easier than toting multiple lenses, however, in low-light conditions, the f1.4 aperture of my Sigma lens still provides a tangible benefit.
