Today I am sharing some photos of the local landscape, which is dominated by rural fields. The first ones are from a couple of trees that are isolated in the middle of the landscape. I had gone for a late afternoon stroll, with my camera and lens, in this instance a short 56mm telephoto lens in Fuji&#8217;s X system APS-C format. I selected this focal length based on my previous knowledge of the subjects; I wanted to isolate the trees, while including some of the wispy clouds above. I decided to convert some of the Raf files to black and white, using an Acros preset with the red filter enabled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_14_8_23_8_bw_net.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tree and cloud #1.

I quickly went home and grabbed my camera, this time with a 35mm lens, and made a few photos as the first light of the day illuminated the landscape. Similarly to the tree photos above, I also converted these Raf files to black and white using the same Acros plus red filter recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_4_bw_net.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Working in the fields.

I made a few photos of it before returning home on time for breakfast. Quite often, it pays to get out of bed before sunrise, as unexpected photo opportunities might present themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/longueira_15_8_23_10_bw_net.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Old house #1.
