Today Monday was a foggy dawn in the streets of my village. I woke up at about 5 AM, made myself a coffee with a couple of slices of bread, watched some news and set out to walk around the streets for a bit.

Water on do not park sign / _{50mm | 1/250s | f/4.5 | ISO 100}

A bench in the park / _{50mm | 1/1000s | f/3.2 | ISO 100}

I took my camera, attached my old 50mm fixed lens (great for dealing with low light conditions like foggy mornings) and got out on the streets. Obviously, I took a lot of wide angle shots of the streets, but once the sun started to rise above the horizon, the fog gradually faded and the streets returned to a normal appearance, so I immediately started thinking about taking other kinds of pictures.

On the skateboard ramp / _{50mm | 1/2000s | f/3.2 | ISO 100}

Rachel's crazy boarded up window / _{50mm | 1/3200s | f/4 | ISO 320}

And a "no parking" sign next to which a stream of water was falling from a roof, gave me the answer to my musings: "I would take photographs of street details" and so it was that these photos which I share with you today began to be captured by me in the streets of my village earlier today....

Sotero's window bottom left corner / _{50mm | 1/320s | f/4 | ISO 640}

Spider's web on Nino's door / _{50mm | 1/30s | f/4 | ISO 640}

And I must confess that it was a delightful photographic exercise to perform. I have done this on previous occasions, but I think that today's schedule allowed me a kind of warm and soft light quite suitable to achieve eloquence in these photos. Plus, there seemed to be details happening everywhere! ;)

Old Ford Mustang's corpse / _{50mm | 1/400s | f/4.5 | ISO 200}

Light pole reflection / _{50mm | 1/320s | f/4.5 | ISO 100}
