Urban Life - Post your photos here

travelways

Urban Life is the exactly the opposite of the Urban Exploration (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=258957).

It's about LIFE in organized human inhabited areas, like cities, towns, even villages, and it can include: Urban/city Scape, Urban/City Life or Street photography (as part of urban life/scape)

Examples are here:

I like this kind of shots whether I travel around the globe or around the block

.... and please don't forget to tell us where the shot was taken so we can all travel the world with you

The Documentary forum is meant for urban life (and life in general). Why do we need this thread?

Oh, I didn't know about the "Documentary forum"... Yes, I see it - It has individual posts....

Personally I'm not a fan of individual posting and find that a thread is more inviting and fun, but if you find this thread inappropriate, feel free and delete it


... or should I delete it - I would be sad, but if it's a must, I guess I'll have no choice... :cry

Wait a second!....

I just read the documentation on the "Documentary forum": http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=227092

it says:

"As photographic genre’s Street, Photojournalism, Documentary are about people...."

and also:

..."Urban landscapes don’t really fit either except..."

If you read attentively the explanations in the beginning of this thread, you will see that this is not specifically about street, or photo journalism. It can include photos like that, but it's not ABOUT that...

- it is about aspects of URBAN LIFE, as opposite to URBAN EXPLORATION (which is about dead aspects of the urban environment), and I clearly gave examples of what I meant...

*** PS: It is mainly about Urban scape(s), more as Travel phography limited to urban areas - Can this include people, sure it can - people are part of the urban (living) environment... IMO

**** PS2 - Maybe I should change the title to URBAN SCAPES ???

I like themed threads, but there is a chance of overdoing this...



This is a good example of adequate focus distance but shutter speed too slow

Thank you. I'm not usually a shooter of people, so that means a lot to me.

There is no Tiramisu town in Sicily; It's a dessert (yummy too..)

I was testing to see if anybody was paying attention....

Thanks for the comment

I have to admit that I didn't pay attention to the name, but is this in Sicily???

As per "Tira mi su"... this desert never pulled me up - too creamy for my test

*** I like the photo though....

torags

Yup, Sicily .... in Taormina
