Sometimes simple is best: Black and white, single subject, and unambiguous setting. Self-titled “Streets of Italy” takes the Day for what isn’t making what it is. Thomas Renken used Nikon D7000 and 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 lens to capture the portrait on June 16, 2014.
“This is one of my street photos from my trip in Umbria”, he says. “I have made a few corrections (e.g. crop) in Lightroom 5 and a black-and-white transfer and sharpening using Google Silverfx 2 and Dfine”. The recomposition gets me.
Thomas joined Flickr in September 2009, but you’ll want to visit his website, where is the wonderful “Streets of the World” collection. The consultant and project manager says: “I love to travel to foreign countries for capturing the special moments in the streets of the world”. From Bremen, Germany, he lives in Kelkheim, 450 km south.
