Back to the Streets / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]
The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.
Greetings, Hivers.
A few days ago I returned to the streets after several weeks, or perhaps even months, of staying away from street photography. As I adapt to this new normal, I think part of it will be getting back out there and photographing everything that moves, or even those things that remain still but catch my eye.
This time I went out with a group of friends, all lovers of street photography, portraits, and everything that can be found behind a camera. We walked through Centro Habana and Old Havana, simply walking, talking and, of course, taking photographs.
The streets felt a little sadder than I remembered them from a few months ago. Maybe it is just my perception, maybe it is the moment we are living through. But it is still my street.
So I'll be there, camera in hand, photographing everything I can.
I hope you enjoy this small series from today.
Saludos, Hivers.
Hace unos días volví a las calles después de unas cuantas semanas, o creo incluso que meses, de reposo callejero. Adaptándome a esta nueva normalidad, creo que parte de ella será volver a las calles y fotografiar todo lo que se mueva, o incluso aquello que se quede quieto pero resulte atractivo a mis ojos.
En esta ocasión salí con un grupo de amigos, todos amantes de la fotografía callejera, los retratos y todo lo que pueda encontrarse detrás de una cámara. Dimos una vuelta por Centro Habana y La Habana Vieja, simplemente caminando, conversando y, por supuesto, fotografiando.
Vi la calle un poco más triste en comparación con como la recordaba hace unos meses. Quizás sea solo una percepción, quizás sea el momento que estamos viviendo. Pero sigue siendo mi calle.
Así que ahí estaré, cámara en mano, fotografiando todo lo que pueda.
Espero que disfruten esta pequeña serie de hoy.

Technical data: Nikon camera: Nikon D700 Nikon lens: 50mm f1.4 p-ais; 105mm f2.5 p-ais; 55 f1.2; 35mm f1.8 G Translated by Deepl free version.7
I see you use 50mm f1.4D - an oldie. I love my 24mm f/2.8D - made in Japan, with a rubber focus ring. 🙂 This 24mm is my favorite currently.
incredible, I am very fond of old Nikon optics. I have several manual focus ais and pre-ais. series D I have an 85mm 1.4, a 60 2.8 macro and also a 24 2.8 is one of my favorites. that 50mm that comes out in the reflection that same day I gave it to a friend. he was with me for 15 years or more. hugs colleague.
I see you have a great collection of lenses. I haven't bought lenses for ages, really tempting to get something new (a charming oldie with a manual focus would fit too), alas, crypto didn't help to do so... Cheers!
The residents are open to all photographers in the place without asking why we did take them pictures. Here in our Country, they are very sensitive and get mad when we take them a picture. 😆
That is why Cuba is such an attractive place for foreign photographers. They are always welcome 🤗
Congratulations. Today's #monomad third place is yours.
Thank You very much for participating and for being part of the Black And White Community!
