BACK HOME AND IN THE DESKTOP SADDLE once again. Sorting through the 920 pictures made in Portugal over the past 2 weeks. I’m guessing that about 1/2 or more of those pictures are dupes of one kind or another-brackets, minor framing variations, et al-of which there will most likely be 100 or so “finals”.
As mentioned, I did not bring my laptop along on my trip. I thought I could use the Squarespace app to make entries but it proved to be useless, for all practical purposes, so I gave up trying to use it. I have deleted the few entries I made with it but the pictures in them will be re-posted in new entries.
Nothing of any substance to report on the use of my new iPhone 14 PRO Max. Have not tried the new 48mp RAW picture making format.
If I had been so inclined to take the time I could have done a series in Lisbon on trolleys. The trolleys are run primarily as tourist attractions traveling through older, historic parts of the city and tourists stand in lines for hours waiting to board them. To which I said, “Not happening.”
So the wife and I took a nearly 2-hour so-called Tuk Tuk tour ride-$150US-to 4 old hilltop neighborhoods. Our driver and tour guide was great, lots of info and very friendly. She stopped at a number of locations-great views, historic buildings, interesting warren-like neighborhoods-and waited while we walked around saw the sights at each stop. Highly recommended if you are ever in the area.
