A STREET ISSUE - (Street photography)

Bcats.jpg


Yes, this is definitely a "street issue" because now it is impossible for me to go out in the mornings and not take my camera with me to record the street scenes in the place where I live...

These are the streets in Montalbán (Carabobo state, Venezuela) and are not exactly beautiful streets. On the contrary, here you can appreciate the drama in each corner. It's a town which has become untidy due to a myriad of demographic, economic and social problems. So perhaps it is these same problems that have provided it with this aspect for "eloquent and crude street photos"...

Anyway, I take pictures here almost every day. I do it because I like photography, but I also do it because these streets make me remember and think constantly. After all, I have always lived here and since I retired from my professional life I am almost always in town...

Regarding the fog you see in the photos, it is typical here for several months of the year. It seems to me that we can have more than 100 foggy sunrises annually, so many of my photos have fog. And if this is already a dramatic looking town, all that fog accentuates it to even more touching levels!

Today in particular I decided to make the main edition of these photos in color. But I have added for you monochrome versions of each one. For this I converted the photos to black and white and then applied a faded layer with a slight touch of yellow, this (it seems to me) is now called "bandicoot style", I imagine due to the color similarities with the fur of some of those funny marsupials.

Maybe the same visual and climatic condition in these streets is more propitious even to create monochromatic versions, but as I said before, this time the color also seemed to me very suitable to edit them... I am open to comments and suggestions, feel free to write and tell me what you think about these photos please, that would be a lovely thing for me...


Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!


ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL NOTE: Photographs captured with my Nikon D7000 DSLR camera in RAW format, then processed in Adobe Camera RAW for adjustments regarding light, sharpening, contrast and depth... They were then exported to JGP format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3.

Really great photos.I enjoyed them. Indeed the fog but also the but also the power lines add to the setting making it even more intriguing. I like the trees in the fog especially the palm trees.

Why bro, with the very severe fog conditions, is there a fire or an eruption, bro?

Oh, no friend @fanigunawan, this is a recurring climatic condition in my town generated by the particular geographical location... This is a valley surrounded by mountains to the south, west and north and open to the east facing the lower lands and hot ones from the central region... So the convergence of cold and humid air masses with hot ones generates this type of fog many times a year, this usually happens from early morning until 9 or 10 am and then it is something nice to take photos! :)

Thanks for stopping by and appreciating!

Yesterday I was watching the movie the mist, and it just reminded me of your pictures where the mist almost always shrouds the town.

Hello @nanixxx friend!!! Thank you very much for appreciating!... I wish for you a very happy week and full of "#Hive things"!!! ;)

Well... Lately here we are "feeling" not like spiders, but like "defenseless grasshoppers"... In any case the "spiders" would be the local politicians, so corrupt and indolent... But of course we are trapped! :(

Sorry for those words, it seems to me that today I woke up absolutely "anti-system" ha ha ha :))... It usually happens to me! (But I have a lot of things to justify that) haaa haaa haaa :))

Sending big hugs and blessings @nanixxx!!!

I understand. And you are free to express your feelings, I think it feels good when we can express ourselves freely.
I am here to always appreciate your impressive work. I hope that one day we can share the same physical space with many Hive photographers. Can you imagine?
