Standing beneath the massive walls of the Monastery of Santa Clara in Vila do Conde, you really feel how small you are. It’s wild to think this 14th-century sentinel, which once housed the Poor Clares, has been reimagined as a luxury hotel (The Lince). The contrast between the ancient stone grandeur above and the bustling street life below is what caught my eye. Captured with the trusty Nikon D3100. To make sure I captured all that texture in the stone and plaster, I shot this at f/8 . Using this aperture ensured I was getting the peak sharpness out of my lens, keeping everything crisp from the Carglass sign at the bottom to the statues on the roof. Tech Specs: 📷 Body: Nikon D3100 🔭 Lens: 18.0-55.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 ⚙️ Settings: 29mm, f/8, 1/250s, ISO 100.
A beautiful new day begins, filled with hope and positive energy. Today, we are traveling to Thatta, and I’m really looking forward to this small journey. InshaAllah, once we return, I will share all the pictures with you so we can enjoy the moments together. 💫📸
