Lisbon (2017)This short video is designed as a test for the new Panasonic Lumix GH 5 camera. In order to find out what this camera is capable of, it was used with most of settings set to automatic. In particular, it was handheld and I made no attempt at improving the stability in post-production (FCPX). In view of the strong light, a ND filter was used.. The unprocessed sound track was obtained using the internal (rather poor) mikes. Criticism welcome, even nastyBy KochersbergTV - .

Beautiful Old Trams in Lisbon, Portugal (2015)Lisbon operates a delightful tram network of quaint old trams that lurch and screech around the narrow streets of the capital.By Timosha21 - - .
Portugal: Trams in Lisbon (2004)The trams shown in these clips are original 1930s models that underwent extensive modernization in the mid-1990s.
Details of current tram routes in Lisbon/Lisboa:
Lisbon's tram network has experienced significant reductions over the past 25 years. Today, it has five remaining lines, all of which are operated by Carris.
Route 12: This is the shortest route in the system, a circular line running from Praça da Figueira through Martim Moniz to the hilly Alfama district. This includes one of the steepest sections in the city, at S. Tomé. Services run approximately every four hours, although sometimes only one tram is in use, and schedules can be irregular.
Route 15: P. Figueira to Algés (Jardim), which covers about 10 km. The terminus was temporarily moved from P. Figueira to Alfândega in 2009 due to construction at P. do Comércio, but has since returned to P. Figueira. At Algés, there is a central bus station and a train station on the line to Estoril and Cascais, with the latter accessible via a subway from the bus station. Just beyond the bus station, the tram terminates at a turning loop in Algés Jardim. Previously, the route extended westward via Dafundo to Cruz Quebrada, with a branch reaching beyond to the national football stadium (Jamor). Route 15 runs from the city, roughly parallel to the Tagus River estuary, in a westerly direction, and is the only service operated by the new Siemens articulated trams, which have a capacity of 210 passengers. It offers a convenient interchange with rail services on the Cascais Line, city buses, and river ferries at Cais do Sodré. Besides the Siemens articulated trams, route 15 is supplemented by services using smaller.
Route 18: This route operated from central Lisbon to Ajuda Cemetery, northwest of the city, until March 3, 2012, when it was shortened to run from Cais do Sodré, west of the city center. Earlier, it was reported to be facing a complete closure and was also threatened with curtailment at its western end, near Largo do Calvário (Sto Amaro tram depot). Route 18 had previously changed city terminus in 2009, when the starting point was moved from Rua da Alfândega to P. Figueira.
Route 25: This route runs along Rua da Alfândega, via Estrela Basilica, to Prazeres Cemetery in western Lisbon. The service operates every 10 to 15 minutes. In the evenings, it is replaced by mini-bus services. This route passes through the hilly Buenos Aires district, near numerous embassies, an area otherwise off the typical tourist track.
Route 28: Martim Moniz to Prazeres. This is the classic tram route of Lisbon, featuring extensive, hilly, and narrow streets in the Alfama district. There is also a steep, twisting section as the route leaves Lisbon center toward Prazeres, up the Calçada de S. Francisco. Services run about every seven minutes, though short trips to Estrela are included in these schedules. Eastbound trams headed for the Alfama are invariably crowded by the time they reach Rua da Conceição in central Lisbon, so it can be wise to board in the opposite direction (toward Estrela and Prazeres) and return to the Alfama from that end of the route. Prazeres Cemetery itself is an interesting spot, offering good views across the Alcântara Valley, which include the Tagus Bridge, the docks, and Alcântara-Terra station of the Portuguese Railways. Heading out of central Lisbon toward Prazeres, there’s an impressively steep curve at the west end of Rua da Conceição as the line leaves the city center, heading west. Estrela Park, situated three-quarters of the way to Prazeres, is a pleasant spot, located opposite the basilica, to break the journey.By FrontCompVids - .
