Everybody Loves The Algarve!

27th November 202027th November 2020Craig Rogers

I was on a scouting mission for some sunrise and sunset shots today and although it was an overcast day with terrible light I decided to find a heart at the famous Arco Natural near Praia da Marinha.

There are a few locations along the clifftop that are well-known for making a heart shape, but I wanted to find something a little different and came up with this shot, keeping the horrible sky out of the frame. It’s a long exposure shot using Natural Density filters to smooth out the movement of the sea.

I was looking through my photos from my sunset session at Praia de São Rafael this morning and came across this image which I had originally ignored but like the suns rays and lens flare coming across the image.

Sunset Session At The Beach!

12th March 201921st March 2019Craig Rogers

I keep telling myself that I don’t take enough Seascape shots so whilst I was in Balaia Golf Resort on the weekend taking (Real Estate Shots, I decided to head to Praia de São Rafael for the sunset.

I arrived well before sunset to also use the opportunity to take some product shots of my new Photography Bean Bags which will be launched later today!

Of course, after living here for over 2.5 years, even though the temperatures were mid 20s, it was a nice surprise to see people sunbathing and even swimming in the sea! Soon enough the sun started to lower in the sky and most of the sun-cravers started to leave the beach and replaced by sunset watchers. I set myself up near the iconic rock in the centre of the beach and waited. The result of the session was the following 4 photographs which are shown below in time order. All are available in print in the Shop, please see individual links below each image.

First, the sun just about to dip below the west cliff.

Aerial View of Praia do Barril

14th January 201915th January 2019Craig Rogers

I was shooting for a new Real Estate Client (as part of my FotoSul venture) in Luz de Tavira in the Eastern side of the Algarve.

To complement their portfolio I took to the sky to photograph their nearest beach of Praia do Barril, a long golden sandy beach with sand dunes that makes up part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park.

Agitaçao Maritima – Rough Seas!

6th March 20186th March 2018Craig Rogers

Storm Emma has had a big influence on the high tides causing a lot of damage to the beaches, boardwalks and eateries along the Southern Algarve Coastline. The IPMA (Portuguese Met Office) had yellow alert in force for “Agitaçao Maritima” which translates to Rough Seas.

Yesterday I visited two beaches to take a look for myself, and whilst destructive, I wanted to capture the beauty of these rough seas. First was Praia Arrifes near Guia which has 3 rock structures called “Três Penecos”, the high tide was retreating and battering the rocks. The fast moving water was ideal for a long exposure, so with both an ND64 and ND8 combined with a Circular Polariser, I was able to capture this photo.
