From the site’s photographer archive: João Freire’s gallery shows rocky shorelines, piers and long-exposure water. His introduction below describes how he was learning photography at the time, including books, practice and trial and error. It is preserved as an archive quote, not a current equipment list.

My name is João Freire and i am Portuguese. I started photographing about two years ago and i have a great passion for photography. I am a self taught photographer. I get a phew experience by seeing great photos, reading photography books and working by trial and error. I think until our death we are learning and we must be open minded. Most of my works are landscapes shots. My equipment is Canon 5D MKII and EF 16-35 F2.8L II + EF 24-105 F4L IS and compensate the exposure with LEE ND and ND grad filters. For me it’s very important the use of Tripod and Cable release.
