Streets Street Art In Granada

Street Art In Granada · 08:01 AM

Although Albaicin is an UNESCO World heritage area, everywhere there is graffiti and street art, some of it really fantastic and over-the-top, other subtle and obscure. Here is a sampling of what I shot.

Carmen Miranda

stretchy face

textures & graffiti

green bird

burro taxi

And this is one I stitched together. Everything here shot with the DA12-24mm, by the way.

As always, click through for larger Flickr image and to see the rest of my portfolio. I also have a previous thread for cityscape shots from Granada.

You've confirmed my decision to take the 10-20mm with me.

I hope that wide angle worked out! I am sure it did.

happy tomato

Considering I covered only a small area of Granada the amount of graffiti and street art was astounding.

green face

This piece is crude in comparison to the others. But there is something about its confusing message I rather like. Be happy? Be sad? Be neutral? Be all three? Or rather, since there is a slash through it, be none of these? Is it a comment on the bricks and stone? Or on being a brick in society?

mixed mood

Great Graffiti series...looks like Granada has some graffiti talent

Some very interesting shots here, I wish some post processing had been done to make them pop a bit. However, they are still very cool to look at and thanks for sharing.

More interesting work well captured. I really like the juxtaposition of elements in the "green face."

FYI, A fair amount of PP was done, as is my usual way. However I have lately been tending to not overdo the whole "pop" thing, which generally means too much saturation and too much contrast.

I will take your preference under advisement, as for this subject I maybe could have gone further.

Thanks for the comments.
