Hello dear #Hive friends!.... Welcome to another edition of my photographic series "Exposed Gaze", whose main purpose, as many of you may already know, is to express my particular perception of my surroundings, especially from the streets in my town.

隆Hola queridos amigo de #Hive!... Bienvenidos a otra edici贸n de mi serie fotogr谩fica "Mirada Expuesta", cuyo principal prop贸sito, como muchos de ustedes ya deben saber, es el de expresar mi percepci贸n particular de cuanto me rodea, especialmente desde las calles.

Streets are often "bipolar"... One day they turn you into a simple observer, a simple human shooting photos from the border of your own thoughts. But another day, or perhaps from one moment to the next, the streets pull you into the scenes and involve you in them, then you are "in the picture" even though you are not registered in it.

Las calles suelen ser "bipolares"... Un d铆a ellas te convierten en un simple observador, un simple humando disparando fotos desde la frontera de sus propios pensamientos. Pero otro d铆a, o quiz谩s de un momento a otro, las calles te arrastran hacia las escenas y te implican en ellas, entonces, t煤 "est谩s en la foto" a pesar de no aparecer registrado en ella.

"Exposed gaze" is also a diverse visual space... Something like a film reel whose eloquence is limited to telling the oddity of my very particular and changing way of perceiving what is happening around me... That's why I like to say that: "Exposed gaze" is "My exposed gaze".

"Mirada expuesta" es tambi茅n un espacio visual diverso... Algo as铆 como un rollo de pel铆cula cuya elocuencia se limita a contar la rareza de mi forma tan particular y cambiante de percibir lo que sucede en mi entorno. Es por eso que me gusta decir que: "Mirada expuesta" es "Mi mirada expuesta"

Technical comment: All the photographs in this post were taken with a Nikon D7000 camera in RAW format. The processing was done with Adobe Camera Raw, in this instance all the adjustments in colour, sharpening, saturation, depth and contrasts were done. The processed images were then exported to JPG format files and secondary adjustments such as rotations, vignetting and watermarking were made using Photos Scape 3.6.1. - For the monochrome versions of these photos we started from the already processed images and exported them to JPG format, then desaturated them in also using Photo Scape 3.6.1. Obviously, due to the intrinsic characteristics of monochrome photos, a second processing of contrasts, levels and even additional vignetting had to be done.

Comentario t茅cnico: Todas las fotograf铆as en este post fueron realizadas con una c谩mara Nikon D7000 en formato RAW. EL procesado se realiz贸 con Adobe Camera Raw, e esta instancia se realizaron todos los ajustes en color, perfilado, saturaci贸n, profundidad y contrastes. Luego, las im谩genes procesadas fueron exportadas a archivos de formato JPG y en estos se hicieron ajustes secundarios como rotaciones, vi帽etas y agregado de marcas de agua usando Photos Scape 3.6.1. - Para las versiones monocrom谩ticas de estas fotos se parti贸 de las im谩genes ya procesadas y exportadas a formato JPG, luego desaturaron en tambi茅n usando Photo Scape 3.6.1. Obviamente, por las caracter铆sticas intr铆nsecas de las fotos monocrom谩ticas, hubo que hacer un segundo procesado de contrastes, niveles e incluso vi帽eteo adicional.

These photos were not taken on the same day, but correspond to two days of the same week and are therefore taken with different lenses.

Estas fotos no fueron capturadas el mismo d铆a, sino que corresponden a dos d铆as de una misma semana y debido a eso est谩n hechas con lentes diferentes.

With my Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM multi-purpose lens I have taken photos 03, 04, 07 and 08... And with my Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8d FX prime lens I took photos 01, 02, 05 and 06.

Con mi lente multi-prop贸sito Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 II DC OS HSM he realizado las fotos 03, 04, 07 y 08 y con mi objetivo de focal fija Nikon AF Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8d FX hice las fotos 01, 02, 05 y 06.

I am generally not very fussy about my choice of lenses for street photography, but I have to confess that I tend to choose prime lenses when it comes to cloudy days or foggy mornings, leaving the zoom lenses for those days with enough sunlight and clear skies.

Generalmente no soy muy quisquilloso respecto a mi decisi贸n de lentes para hacer fotos de calle, pero tengo que confesar que suelo elegir objetivos fijos cuando se trata de d铆as nublados o ma帽anas con niebla, dejando los objetivos de tipo zoom para aquellos d铆as con suficiente luz solar y cielos despejados.



Thank you very much for your visit and appreciation!

隆Muchas gracias por pasar y apreciar!
