Small correction, it's said Graça (as in Grass-a). Great video as always. And happy you had a much better experience in Lisbon, than the first one. Hope you come back.
Amazing how an outsider manages to show that this is indeed a beautiful city, with lots of photo oportunities. Thanks for that, now I just hope for sun in the weekend :-)
Exactly, shooting street in Lisbon is easy mode, everything is so damn photogenic. And then those colorful Carreiras! For anyone planning to visit, do yourself a favor and try the Ginjinha, it's a delicious cherry liquor.
Did you walk to Champalimaud research center right next to Torre de Belem? That has amazing architecture and when the sun hits it just right, there's great pictures to be had.
I love your pictures and the great guide that will definitely be helpful when i go to lisbon later this year! Some real gems in your selection of photos, wow! 👏🏻
Also visited Lisbon after a trip to Cascais this spring, it’s my favourite town in Europe. I only got told off about not shooting my camera in the market. There were big signs and quite angry stares. Still have to go through and my photos from that trip. My 18 and 70-300 got the most use. Damn you are walking far, Alfama to Belem….probably should have done that after all pasteis de belem - great video!
Roman, Wife and I are headed to Portugal in late summer, so this is super helpful for introducing us to the place and anticipating the types of images we might find. I’ll look for your travel channel.
Great video Roman! You made me want to go to Porto so bad with your trip there and now you’ve done Lisbon just as much justice! You’ve given me a hard choice to make for a city break this summer!
Yeah, love this city! I would also suggest to visit Sintra and Cabo da Roca. Cabo da Roca is one of those metaphysical places that make me think about life and time.
Your guides are great- thank you. We’re midway through our weeklong trip now. I second your thoughts about focal length: when I first arrived I felt that a wide angle would be best as the streets are quite narrow, but with the long hilly streets the compression of a telephoto results in amazing photos. I actually find myself grabbing my iPhone 3x telephoto a fair bit.
Great stuff! Aso went to Lisbon for a few days last summer and for some reason I edited most of my photos in black and white. I can also recommend the Miradouro da Senhora do Monte (great view, many people and always planes passing by in the distance) and an underground passage with nice graffiti and lights (38°42'10.6"N 9°10'28.7"W).
Bring comfortable shoes or trainers, the footpath or pavement is very uneven, I had sore feet after a few days but it's a great place and I will go back sometime, possibly also to visit Porto.
Another fantastic video, thank you for all the insights. I was once told to expose to the right. But what I see in your pix is so much more powerful and suits me more. Thanks for giving me inspiration to use some of this stile of light and deep shadows again.
Thanks Roman. Been to Lisbon (& Porto) took a ton of photos, but didn't have enough days there.Recognized many of your places, great memories. Tram transportation is a plus for us as seniors, but have been known to cover 13-15 km a day in August heat .
Excellent video - Lisbon is a great city and very photgenic. I have been couple of times since taking up photography and there are places you showed that I haven't seen!!! Must get back there again! I'm fortunate in that I am relatively close as I live in the Algarve.
It was a joy to see your video and to see familiar places by different eyes. If you have the chance to return to Torre de Belém, go a bit further to Fundação Champalimaud. Thanks for this great video!
I absolutely loved Lisbon. Some incredible shots mixed in here too Roman. Bloody hell I was out of breath wandering about though. Nothing prepares you for those hills 😂😂😂
Great insight Roman. Very enjoyable. I was supposed to be going there to watch a gig at the Campo Pequeno tomorrow night, and spend a couple of days shooting. However passport is delayed. I'll get there later in the year and follow your footsteps. Keep up the great content. 👍
Great video, Roman. Thank you! I'm ready to head to Lisbon. My only question is why you seem to have an aversion to a zoom lens like the 24-105mm Sony G OSS except for its rather slow f/4 aperture across all focal lengths. I found it to be great for street photography in Paris last fall during daylight hours. I used the Sony Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 lens on my alpha 7Riv for dusk and nighttime shots. Have you ever compared that equipment to the Fujifilm camera and lenses that you use to great effect? Is the Fujifilm significantly lighter or smaller? Thanks again for your great work!!
Next time check out Parque das Naçoes and Oriente station. Amazing modern architecture and a good vibe. Don't be like Google Maps - it's pronounced Park das Nassoys (with a hint of an 'n' where the 'y' is) Google says Nackos which is always good for a laugh
Great video Roman. I’m planning a trip to Lisbon with the missus, so this is handy. One question though. Why the three lenses, wouldn’t it have been easier to go with the 16-55 and the 90?
campo d' ourigue is also nice :) a cool spot is the roof of the Estrella church there and you have a nice park. I was there in 2019 and really liked it. Lisbon is a great city loved it every moment.
Cool video as usual. Waiting for the longer one on the other Channel. Lisbon is Indeed high on my to go list. Planed for next automn, sailing there. No doubts it's gonna be awesome. Thank you for sharing
Thanks! For a lisboner, it doesn't look as fresh and new as perhaps you see it. I have trouble avoiding my photos looking too turistic. But I can give you all a tip to see something more. Notice, when you go to the west, how the buildings and palaces look more colonial, notice the banana trees and exotic trees in the backyards. You'll see very exotic trees like the dragon tree and others. Notice how the most common tree in Lisbon besides plates and maples is the jacarandá. Also see when you go east the oppressiveness of the massive religious buildings, think of the inquisition... Just two tips...
So useful. So inspirational. Can't wait for the full guide on your travel channel. I'm planning my trip to Portugal right now and using your videos/photos as my inspiration. In other words, shamelessly stealing all your ideas! 😁
Do you carry a single camera body? I feel like with 3 primes, i'd be constantly wanting to change between lenses and spend less time enjoying the moment. I have the 33 f/1.4 and I'm tempted to bring only that one for my next europe trip.
Hello Roman, great video with good advice and photos. One question about the lens you mention in the video (28, 50 and 135mm) are those 35mm equivalent lens numbers or APSC numbers? Thanks
