Moon Photography

I’ve always enjoyed photography, but until recently, I’ve never had the opportunity to work with real decent equipment. My first real worthy-of-use camera is a Cannon Rebel T1i, and I love it! It’s not a top-of-the-line camera, of course, but it’s great for someone who’s just starting with photography (me!).
I enjoy doing nature shots, portraits, and photographing the sky…. The most common is nature and the sky… because, well, I don’t depend on other people to do it, so it’s “always available”. The sky is not so great over here due to pollution and weather, but every now and then I do get a clear night.

The following pictures of our dear moon were taken on one of those clears nights. Sky photography is a lot harder than I ever though it would be… I still need waaaaaaay more practice… so I’m hoping Mr. Weather will collaborate with me.

Our moon from up close again. This one uses a higher contrast, so that's why it looks the way it does. I thought the result was interesting!

I’ve been trying to get other heavenly bodies but those are… well… a lot more “out of reach” than our friendly moon. I’ll soon succeed, however… I’m on the right track! :-)

Website updated!

If you’ve been here before, you should notice a change in this website’s look and feel. I’ve done this partially because I was just tired of the old look, but mostly because I think this current theme I’ve been working on looks a lot better! :-)
I will soon be updating the content, too. New music, and hopefully new videos, as well!
Stay tuned! Thanks for visiting!

New pictures up!

I’ve got some new aviation pictures up!
Three sets are of a couple of flights I’ve done in Orlando and São Paulo, and the others are aerospace museums and exhibits. Great stuff… for an aviation geek like me, anyways!

Patriotic Diet

Quick question – have you ever loved your country so much that you just want to…say… eat it? With these main courses, you almost can. Well… eat your country’s flag, anyways.

Being Brazilian, I’ll post this one first:

The Brazilian Food Flag. It looks tasty... although the idea of eating raw slices of lemon doesn't attract me much.

I've always been a fan of Italian food. Here's to a "taste of Italy"!

If you want to see where these came from and check out some more awesome food flags, go here!

Indy 300 in São Paulo, Brazil

I had the pleasure of visiting the pit-stops and garage area of the Indy 300 race in São Paulo, Brazil, held on March 14th, 2010. I had never been to an Indy race… or to any racing event, for that matter. It was quite amazing… the roar of the engines and the blazing speed the cars get to – it’s nothing like I used to see it on TV. I can only imagine how being up close to the more powerful Formula One races might be.

While there, I got some very decent pictures of the event, cars, teams, and drivers. Check the album out on my Flickr!

p.s.: the videos are especially neat if you want to get a feel for the speed from the audience point of view.
