All images taken by me.
Sintra, located just outside Lisbon, was full of mist and fog, whatever the weather. This meant I was able to capture some very atmospheric images in a setting full of historic architecture and vast landscapes.

Above is the National Palace of Sintra. The historical themes in these images would also fit in to an Assassin's Creed-type scene.

When walking around Pena Palace, I was interested in capturing objects of interest and then the vistas that we were able to see from one of the highest palaces in Sintra. For the landscape shots I found that in Lightroom, raising the Clarity of the image gave a really nice look to the mist and vegetation, bringing out the deeper blacks and giving a more exciting atmosphere.
