Description


edit: expanded description +print

This is part of Capturing Change, a collaboration project with three other photographers -- OliviaMichalski, darkdex52 and MARX77 -- to document changes in the cities around us. Working with them was a highly positive experience. Everyone dropped in a lot of ideas and together we refined the concept, which had the working title Metropolis.

The most experience photographer of the group, Miguel has been a photographer for over 15 years, starting with a film camera and then moving to digital five years later. With the goal of featuring the past, present, and future of Brazil in this project, he traveled to smaller and lesser-known cities to capture the beauty and the chaos withi


The street wiring in Brazil is absolutely chaotic. It's like a museum, displaying all ages of the electric history. I like it.
I went looking for a good shot that could represent that and found this great view of the city with the cables pointing towards it.
It's just great cable management :lol:

THE SHOOT

I had been scouting for good vantage points in the city and as I was driving down this neighborhood, I stumbled upon this composition. The man on the right was coming up the street and I had little time. So, I took out the camera and shot in aperture priority mode with wide auto-focus set. Took a couple of shots but this one, the first one, was spot on. I didn't even get out of the car, just picked up the camera from the back seat, switched it on and immediately took the shot. That was it.

SONY a7RII | 28mm | f/2.8 | 1/500 | ISO 100


Enjoy and share a thought in the comments!

Any questions about the camera, don't hesitate to ask.
