One more day in...
Self portrait... DJ's challenge
Posted by Rui (Leiria, Portugal) on 29 October 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
I've been very busy, so I haven't had time to post anything... I hope I can come back very soon... I miss you all... :(
I just passed by to see what was happening today and saw today's challenge... so I went to my files and found this photo...
It was taken last in 2007 in Brazil, in the PATAXÓ indian Reserve.
Oh, by the way... I'm the one in the center...
Thanks a lot for all the comments. They all mean a lot to me.
Constructive criticism is always welcome.

;) Acho que ninguém ia achar que tu eras um dos índios, só se fosse, porque de vez em quando mencionas a tua altura e aí poderias ser o índio mais baixo.
Acho que fizeste bem em participar hoje. Espero que a tua lente fique boa depressa e que continues a tirar fotografias e eu serei mais suave nos meus comentários, porque de facto, eu percebo muito pouco da parte técnica, mas como já te disse fotografo com o coração e às vezes acerto nas definições. Eu pouco posso julgar ou ajudar-te. Mas comenta o blog do Gonçalo (ISO 1975) ele deu-me bastante ajuda ao início, mas prepara-te que se ele comentar as tuas fotos, aí é que tu vais ver o que é ter um profissional a comentar. É só uma sugestão. :)

@Ana Lúcia: Obrigado Ana Lúcia.
Hoje só participei por acaso... passei por aqui para dar uma vista de olhos e achei gira a ideia. Por acaso tinha esta foto neste pc... porque fotos minhas tenho muito muito poucas. Só postei a foto antes de almoço. Mas isto tem sido muito complicado em termos de tempo para preparar fotos, ver os blogues, comentar... Fica bem... e boas fotos!

@dj.tigersprout: Hi mate. This has been really really complicated to manage everything... but typically the last 3 months of the year for me are very busy. Coincidence or not, I also detected that my 70-300 Sigma lens is deffective, so I sent it back... But I'll be back! :)
About this photo, this is nothing special. I like it 'cause it's different from the usual. But I had to explain who I am... someone might be confused :D
Thanks a lot... and see you soon. Cheers! ;)

Olá Rui. Dei comigo a pensar "será que o Rui anda com aqueles chapéus amarelos na cabeça?". Só depois é que li a legenda. :):)
