OBIDOS PHOTOGRAPHY
There are many subjects to compose on in Obidos. You will have a simple but rich colour scheme, pure white combined with yellow, blue or red. You will see the texture of the tiles that cover the houses, making contrast with the white walls.
The medieval wall is a good shooting spot to see how this town was planned. Moving away from the main streets will allow you to try some new perspectives.
Obidos is normally full of flowers, if you like macro photography, we can add that to your portfolio. There is a bookstore that can be an exceptional b&w photography challenge.
Check PINTEREST and also INSTAGRAM to see all the potential.
TIMING
Obidos is 85km from Lisbon, we have to meet and leave Lisbon at 7AM (7:00) sharp. The plan is to start the photo tour around 8:30AM (8:30), to explore a quiet village. After a nice lunch break, we will continue the photo tour until 2:30PM (14:30), to be back in Lisbon around 4PM (16:00).
MEETING
We will meet at your local address, hotel or apartment. You will see me with a LISBON PHOTO id-card and a red car. Once we hit the highway, it will take us one hour to be in Obidos. We end the tour at your local address or at a central spot if you prefer.
MOVING AROUND
It will be a walking tour. Obidos is a small and compact medieval town. Main streets are straight, but the side ones could mean extra exercise, nothing extreme. We will move around with two main goals, to find the best perspectives and avoid the most crowded streets.
COMPANION
Companions will have a great time, because Obidos is a delight to the eyes. Even with a smart-phone, they will get some hints on composition. You will all search for little details, colours, arches and paths. Obidos is the perfect town to explore little shops that sell handicraft. It’s a place loaded with history, no one will get bored.
HISTORY & LIFESTYLE
This little town goes back to the middle age, proudly showing a castle and a wall. Inside you have layer over layer of history until the present days. It is fascinating to see the effort done to keep the overall look unchanged. We will chat about all that, to understand some of the local landmarks.
