Description
A few months back, me and two other fellow photographers drove to a beach in Sintra to shoot a stunning sunset, but as soon as we arrived we realized we were out of luck (Sintra has a very tricky microclimate)! So, we decided to go up to the mystic hills of Sintra, where we could use the fog in an appropriate setting. But of course, by the time we got there we started a race against time. The sun was setting and the light would soon be gone. Considering that we needed to clean and dry our lenses between each shot and how difficult it is to get the correct exposure in this weather conditions (especially when you're not used to it), it was quite a challenge!
In this particular photo, you can see the ruins of an old chapel in the foreground and, at the top of the hill, the Peninha Sanctuary. Located in one of the highest points of Sintra’s mountain range, the Peninha Sanctuary dates back to the 17th century. It is a place with a breathtaking view over Lisbon's coastal area.
