Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Photography 101: Street
On my travels I have seen streets in many towns and most of them were packed with tourists and locals which did not always make me feel welcome. There is something about my home town Zagreb when it gets emptied in August that appeals to me. Here is one of its main streets…
or maybe it looks better in this one? (Feel free to vote)

I love the quiet of streets too Paula. Sometimes it is best to visit a place when there are no tourists around.

My choice (if I have to make a choice!) is number 1. Something about that pale apricot light suggests the liminal.
I’d like more photos of Zagreb – I loved it in my short visits earlier this year. I used to get out and about at daybreak and watch the city coming to life – the markets, and the early-to-work people pausing at the stone gate shrine, and the shopkeepers preparing to open. Then an espresso and more rambling. I’m nostalgic!

It’s a very nice-looking city, Paula ! – one that a traveller could be happy to reach. You increased the gamma in the second …? I rather think I prefer the darker version …

My dear, I have no idea what I did in the second – oh yes, I tried to recover the details in the shadow clipped areas. Almost everybody prefers the first one 🙂

I prefer small towns. Great shot, Paula. I’m already behind in this 101! My work hours just increased. That could be good, that could be bad! 🙂

It is subtle in the second photo, but it really, really works.

Oh, I can’t decide which one looks better Paula. They are both stunning in their own way. The top one have that mysterious and serene look while the second one have a more ‘lively’ look, especially with the accentuated light on the building. Stunning captures and it’s so beautiful there. I do prefer the ‘quiet’ more as well. Some days our little town is so packed with all the tourists that you, as a local can’t go anywhere and you’re right, then you don’t feel welcome. I think we must get our own little islands. Wouldn’t that be nice? 😀 ♥

Zagreb a town where I went in 1975. It’s a long time ago 🙂 I love the second because it’s clearer, lighter. It’s only my own impression 🙂

#1 has more atmosphere, because of the shadows. I prefer it, but it’s a great scene either way.

More people are in favour of #1 including hubby which is making me reconsider my adjustments. Thank you for having a look, Draco, and for your valuable opinion.

The 1st has more of a calming/tranquil mood about it. The golden light cast on the building gives this a lovely quality. It certainly is very inviting, i’d love to wonder these streets.
