windows
Strangely transparent, they seemed like windows to a world beyond, but however long I peered into their depths, there was nothing I could see

For WordPress weekly photo challenge – Windows
There are a lot more windows here and here.
*Shot with Fujifilm X100F with 23mm (35mm fixed frame equivalent) fixed lens, ISO 200, 1/140s at f/5.6 with some added mystery applied with Affinity Photo which, along with Affinity Designer, I’m exploring as a credible Photoshop CC replacement*

We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other

All shots taken with Nikon D700 and Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens in Manual mode and ISO200. All other settings made on the fly using the camera’s on board exposure meter, plus I confess to drinking and shooting.

– lyrics from light my fire, the doors
I shot this image last night whilst shooting one of the many Semana Santa processions in the city of Salamanca – more on that soon at salamancastreets.com.
In this case, the night was dark, but the city was lit by many candles, streetlights and the smiling faces of the women, men and children who packed the streets until the early hours of the morning.
The Doors’ Light my fire, and in particular the instrumental version to which I have linked, seems also to capture some of the same spirit. For me, anyway.
This shot was a lucky capture, the Plaza Mayor captured in half-light.
