Just another Starbucks! Well this one is pretty cool though… And since this photoblog has also a lot to do with coffee, I think this photo is absolutely appropriated to be posted here. Anyway, I use to go to this Starbucks, which is located inside a shopping mall, and have a delicious coffee with lots [...]

Thumbnail image for Office Refectory

This shot was taken during a Christmas party that took place in a dining hall of an office building. My wife’s company has its headquarters there, so they used the dining hall to gather the employees and their children. The space is fairly big, so they occupied only half of it for this event – [...]

This photo was not much hard to edit. It had some minor ghosting artifacts but nothing to give me a lot of trouble. This one has a lot more of the Christmas spirit, though it was taken on a shopping mall.  There are kids and elves under the Christmas tree, and there’s even a happy [...]

Just a photo of a huge dome in a shopping mall. The good thing about shopping malls at this time of the year is definitely the Christmas decoration. There are lights all over, different colors, lots of contrasts, etc. So I’m having a great time taking pictures of these infrastructures. This dome is very beautiful [...]

Another photo under the theme “Christmas shopping”. This photo is one of those with a pre-edited HDR exibiting ghosting artifacts all over. Well, well… I’m getting used to it I guess. The truth is that I can’t complain much, because nobody forced me to take the shots. But it’s ok overall… It’s kind of a [...]

Just a HDR of people shopping for Christmas. This photo was a pain to edit. Guys… I must be crazy to go shooting people buying stuff for Christmas. You can’t imagine the ghosting artifacts I had to clean on this one! There were people all over, including a guy who saved me this set of [...]

When I published the photo “Rising Towards an Electrical Storm”, here on Pedro’s, I wrote about the gardens of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. This photo is a perspective of a small part of them. This place is gorgeous and brings back a lot of memories of the time I spent there when I was a [...]

You’re in a virtual thematic cafe and, as such, I talk about coffee once in a while, and intend to give some suggestions for you to try out. But in this post I’m opening an exception since I’m talking about beer! Beer… Well, I guess this blog could be called Pedro’s Photo Tavern, though it [...]

The Junkie Gnome of the Ancient Wall

This was a fun experience. I mean, you have to admit that it’s not common to pick up an HDR, apply some weird filter to age it, and not being satisfied with that “rough” treatment, making a color cut-out on it. This is WILD guys! This is the most wild stuff ever!!! I don’t know [...]

Though the most famous casino in the Lisbon area is Casino Estoril (Estoril is a village probably known to you, because the F1 portuguese grand prix used to take place there), the company that owns Casino Estoril, recently built a new one, located in the Nations’ Park. It was inaugurated in April, 2006. This Casino [...]
