Hello dear #Hive friends... Welcome to a new edition of my series on street photography "STREET WITNESS" with captures made in the streets of the town where I live and where I do most of my photographic work.
📷 01- "SUN ARRIVES AT CHEPA'S WINDOW"
📷 02- "NEIGHBOURHOOD CORNER ON SUNDAY"
As you know, things here are not going very well and so the town's streets tend to reflect the living conditions, difficult for some, moderately manageable for others and good for almost none...
📷 03- "ROBERTO'S OLD BAR DOOR"
📷 04- "WILL THE PHOTOGRAPHER BRING FOOD?"
But, those same difficult conditions of the town, make its streets become an endless source of eloquent and dramatic images and sometimes can even have a little bit of the typical happiness of those who usually face problems with stoicism...
📷 05- "STREET SCENE AT THE END OF TOWN
📷 06- "THE GREENGROCER'S DOG"
So this is my "favourite photographic niche" and I'm there in those streets almost every day trying to steal with my camera some of the things happening there, as well as some static details that speak of the life in the village. I mean old facades with weather-beaten doors and windows, the animals in the streets, the people trying to move forward... In short, everything that we usually call "street".
📷 07- "COLOURS IN RAMON'S FOOD STORE"
📷 08- "CRISTOBAL ALWAYS BEING WELL"
And so this weekly series of photographs which I love to share with you in #Hive is formed, as well as some text which I always like to add to accompany them and comment on what I feel, think and experience while I take them. I think this is a very human way of taking photos and therefore worthy of sharing with others.
📷 09- "ABANDONED HOUSE 3D WINDOW"
📷 10- "ANTONIO ALSO LEFT THE TOWN"
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... The pictures are then exported to JPG format on which minor modifications such as straightening and adding watermarks were carried out using PhotoScape 3.6.3.
