Cassio Lopes & Alessandra Santos' photostream  

We are Cassio and Alessandra, we are a couple that love photography, travelling, nature and wildlife. We live at Sao Paulo, the largest metropolis of Brazil and South America, and we have been to many places around the globe, but our preference is Africa and, more recently, India. We enjoy very much Europe as well, as you may notice in our photography sets.

The gear:
We have started with point-and-shot film cameras and slowly made evolution to SLR-Film and now we have a Digital SLR Canon 400D and 50D gears, besides a Canon S900 Digital P&S. Normally we do not retouch our shots but we may apply some digital enhancement to one or other picture if we like the subject but the picture was not good enough, so what you see in most of our stream is frequently the original capture. Very few of them maybe result of cropping to give a best value for a certain subject.

We vary the lenses from Super Wide to Super Telephoto, and the wide shots are almost always taken with circular polarizing filter. Our sets have then pure digital shots and digitalized film shots.
