The past week I’ve been outside a lot, though my energy hasn’t always matched my ambitions. Depression has a way of slowing everything down, even the things you love. Reviewing my photos took longer than expected, but today I’m sharing a few from the Loonse en Drunense Duinen—a landscape where sand moves like water, shaped by the wind and light.

Most of these images were taken during sunset with the Canon R5 paired to my older Canon EF-S 15–85mm f/3.5–5.6 lens. The mirrorless R5 brings amazing advantages—sharp autofocus, high resolution, silent shooting—but it also has drawbacks compared to my DSLRs. At its price, every strength and weakness matters. I’m still weighing whether it’s the right step forward.

The last photo is something special: the Japanese Gentian (Gentiana scabra), or Blue Heart. I captured it with the Canon 5D Mark III and the MP-E 65mm Super Macro, a unique lens capable of up to 5x life-size magnification. At this scale, the flower becomes a world of intricate detail—textures and colors most people will never see with the naked eye.

Some days I walk with a camera, other days just with my thoughts. Either way, being out there helps.

I've recently heard the phrase "date your cameras, marry your lenses."
Which are the lenses you've "married" along the way?

Taken with: Canon EOS 7D.

Comprei uma dry box para guardar minhas tralhas de fotografia e tentar manter a salvo da umidade.
Aqui, no interior do Ceará, essa época do ano, a umidade não é brincadeira.

Você fica tão sozinho às vezes que até faz sentido, de Charles Bukowski.
Não sou muito fã de "ler poesias", mas a gente precisa conhecer as coisas para dizer se gostou ou não. Estou gostando.
