Morning in Alfama

この場所について

Alfama is Lisbon's oldest neighbourhood, a labyrinth of narrow lanes, azulejo-tiled buildings, and laundry lines strung between windows. In the early morning, the light filters through at low angles and the streets belong mostly to locals starting their day.

撮影のコツ

撮影のコツ
Side light on azulejo tiles creates vivid colour. Shoot from the shaded side of the street to avoid blown highlights. Narrow vertical compositions work well in the tight alleyways.

Get here before the tour groups. At 7:30am I had entire streets to myself, just the sound of fado leaking from a radio somewhere above. That is the Alfama you want to remember.
