Just got back from Portugal. Spent some time in the Algarve at Sagres. Very nice. There were hardly any tourists about besides us. The Portuguese people were very nice. The B&B we stayed in at Baleal was only 55 Euro a night. At Sagres. We shared a two bedroom apartment with our friends from Harrogate. 40 Euro per couple per night.

Experimenting with a ten stop ND filter. Not to pleased with the results. I need way more practice.

It's a lovely part of the world. I first went there as a child in 1974 just after the revolution. Been back many times since.

Glad you enjoyed it bigdog and some nice photos too. :thumbsup:
 
I can't imagine catching a big brute of a fish while standing at the edge of that cliff. I think I would find some way to anchor myself to the rocks.
