Photographing Sao Lourenco & Pico Do Arieiro | Madeira Landscape Photography Vlog | Episode 2

#travelphotography #photography #madeira
In the second part of my Madeira travel photography series, I visit two spectacular locations on the island - Sao Lourenco and Pico Do Arieiro.
Sao Lourenco is a peninsula on the easternmost point of the island and is particularly known for its rugged and dramatic coastline.
It's a spectacular sunrise location due to its eastern outlook and as a peninsula it offers a great location to experience changeable weather conditions ideally suited for landscape photography.
In the video, I visit Sao Lourenco on two occasions with each visit offering something different. I offer some tips and advice about being prepared when it comes to visiting a new location and how you can learn from my mistakes.
Pico Aerio is the third-highest peak on the island and another spectacular location to do some photography.
I visit this location three times with the hope of capturing some epic conditions. In the video, I share my successes and failures at this location and what I would do next time.
I hope you enjoy watching the video.

So beautiful location!🔥🔥

[@proach3]

You do beautiful work. I wish you had provided some tips on trail spots etc as I will be there next week!

[@olliewatts]

Many thanks 🙂 I found the hiking trails pretty easy to navigate as the signage is fairly good. One thing I would caution is the hike between Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo gets quite busy - might not be an issue during off peak season but one thing to watch out for. The trail is single file in many places so can take much longer with the traffic

Madeira is just magical and full of location for landscape photography. My favorite is the Ribeira de Janela where we got two beautiful sunrises! At the Ponta de Sao Lourenco unfortunately I had an issue with my camera after reaching that viewing point and I lost a magnificent fuchsia sunset! Hoping to go back soon!

The Ç sound is like the S so Lourenço sounds like Lourenso

[@D4ni3lS4nk3]

hi, the "Ç" it is pronounced like an "s" or a "z" depending of how you do it adn there is no "i" sound, by the way, no, sadly it is not possible to walk all the way to the very end tip, beacuse it is divided in a couple of places by the sea. Pico do ariero is the 3dr highest peak in madeira, its like 1800 mts, not that much compared to other places.
