Hello ladies and gents,

Firstly a happy 2018 to everyone.

I wanted to start the first day of 2018 by posting my first ever post on Steemit. I´ve been following the platform for some time now and have been fascinated by it, but now the time has come for me to roll up my sleeves and start adding my own content, in the form photography.

I am fortunate to live in the very beautiful and photogenic country of Portugal where I am able to practise my hobby of photography, so a lot of my photography will be of this wonderful country. My favourites are seascape, landscape, architectural, and artistic photography, ( I made the last one up, I don´t know if that´s a "thing" but that´s what I call it).

Disclaimer. This is not investment advice. I do not provide personal investment advice and am not a qualified licensed investment advisor......oh wait, sorry wrong disclaimer.

I am an amateur photographer, it´s my hobby. All photos posted on my profile are my own work.

I look forward to sharing my journey of leaning and improving my photography here on Steemit.

The photo above was taken today from a placed called Casa de Guia in Cascais, (we will be visiting this area a lot more in the future with better examples I promise). To be honest I feel that I haven´t done this particular spot much justice but it was taken this afternoon and I wanted to share the cloud structure that I was looking at at the time. I love how the clouds look like they are moving out to sea even though the photo is static.

I love how photos after all are really moments in time that we are able to take and preserve forever, (amazing if you think about it) and this was a moment captured on the first day of 2018 in Portugal.

Did anyone else take a photo today to catalogue the first of 2018? Send me a link, I´d love to see it.

Hey @psos, thank you. I see you´re all about Portugal. I´ll try and get some amazing shots of your lovely country that you can showcase 😉. I am waiting on a delivery of the Mavic Pro. I´ll be sure to upload some aerial shots when I have them too! Cheers, and you have a new follower.

Wow thanks! :) Mavic pro from dji is a good choice for 4k ;) hope you enjoy it and take amazing shots

Thanks so much. That is a very useful link indeed. I was looking for that exact info. I found your website and love your travel lust mentality. Portugal is going to be hard to leave 😉.
