Senhor da Pedra, Miramar, Portugal

This Chapel in Miramar, Portugal, is an integral part of the Porto and Aveiro photo tour, which I run practically every month with clients.

This image was particularly taken on a day when I was alone. The angle I chose was just to get away from the usual. The sunset was almost over, and here I tried using a long exposure to photograph the blue hour.

I took advantage of the fact that the waves on the left side of the image created these leading lines as soon as they returned to the sea. For me, it`s the best location in Portugal for seascape photography, and perhaps one of the best in Europe.

Paulo

Paulo is one of Portugal’s finest and most sought-after photographers. Paulo has a passion for landscape and nature photography, concentrating the majority of his work in Portugal’s Ria de Aveiro. Being a master at using his camera and working with colors and contrasts, he stays away from Photoshop, preferring to use filters when necessary to achieve the ideal balance of light and motion. For him, the philosophy of “get it right in the camera” certainly applies. His award-winning photographs have been published in national and international magazines and featured in gallery exhibits. Paulo runs workshops 1-2-1 tuition and in group for any level.

What Is the best way to read the magazines?

Our magazines are designed using Adobe software for optimal visual quality. For the best reading experience, we strongly recommend downloading the PDF file and opening it with the latest version of Adobe Reader. Using web browsers or other PDF viewers may result in formatting issues or missing content, as they may not fully support all features.

How to save and read the magazines on your iPad

We recommend using the free Adobe Reader app for the best reading experience. First, ensure you have the latest version installed on your iPad.

• Open Safari on your iPad (avoid using Chrome for downloads).
• Visit our website and go to the ‘Latest Issue’ page.
• Tap the cover to start the download and allow enough time for the magazine to fully download.
• Once the PDF opens, gently tap on the screen. A bar will appear at the top with the option to ‘Open in Adobe’ – tap it.
• The magazine will open in Adobe Reader and be saved to your library for future access.

While you may use other apps such as iBooks or third-party PDF readers, we do not recommend them. Some members have reported issues with formatting and missing text, particularly in iBooks.

Please Note: We rigorously test each issue on iPads – including the latest Retina models – before publication. However, updates to iOS or certain apps may cause font compatibility issues that affect PDF display. For this reason, Adobe Reader remains our top recommendation for smooth, high-quality viewing.

This guidance also applies to other tablets and mobile devices.
