[Them] Graffiti

I was thinking graffiti is something you find all over the places. I personally do not like most of them, but it might be an interesting topic.

I agree, i also find that most graffiti is kinda mweh (even though i can't do it myself).

Very interesting juxtaposition between the (i presume) guy sitting right over the graffiti heart  ;D

Homage to Banksy

I would draw a border between taggers, which are just devastating the cities, and graffiti painters, where sometimes you see some pieces of real art

On the wall of a bakery in my hometown, the original is by Banksy, there is a large graffiti maker community in Bologna, but I suspect it's a stencil derived from the original.

Graffiti, Via del Pratello, Bologna

One of the most densely graffiti-populated area is via del Pratello.
This street is also having a large amount of bars, bistrots, ... , and an intense night life... in non-COVID times! (curfew is at 22:00 nowadays).

That was me taking rest during my hiking. That was the only sitting position for me to not get to the way of the graffiti :)

Graffiti, Via del Pratello, Bologna

While experimenting with the 10.5mm DX-Fisheye on full frame, I came across this face...

Nikon D810 + 10.5 mm f/2.8 AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor (shaved hood)

The shaved-hood 10.5mm has enough power to fill the FF frame, too bad the image isn't a whole circle (you'd need an 8-8.5mm fisheye to achieve that!). If I remember correctly, NG longtime contributor Seapy has devised a tool for composing two frames (with a tripod), one landscape and the other portrait to get a circular frame from a 10.5mm. I tried composing handheld shots with Photoshop, it works but you have to be very accurate in framing the shots!

An excellent use of the fisheye!

Thanks, Akira!

A fisheye allows a photographer to go beyond the original intentions of the graffiti artist, I have more of the same graffito showing what I mean. Meanwhile, here's another one in my neighborhood.

Thanks Fons.

That's a bit melodramatic, there in Vlissingen, not?   ;)
