From Heatwave to Deluge | Street Photography Downtown

20240720-DSCF0894.jpg


Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and conquering the heatwave, if you happen to be living inside one. For the past two weeks we had nothing but cataclysmic high temperatures that were presented in the media to be in high 30s (C) but felt more like being close to 50 degrees. On the concrete streets of the city it's like a chamber, the hot weather is melting the ground and elevating back into the space we occupy. The only time you can get anything done without exhaustion is before 8 and after 20h. Everyone was wishing for escape to nature these days.

Well luckily it seems like it's behind us now but only for a week before the wave comes back again. Yesterday I was visiting friends downtown and took few hours to walk around and photograph. It coincided with the huge deluge that fell and shook up the hibernating people.

Dark clouds were covering the sky for hours and right when I thought the rain will go around us, it collapsed down. I had an umbrella but it didn't help prevent my feet from getting all wet. That's what I get for wanting to chase cool moments instead of the shelter. :D But street photographers are used to it, we've seen and experienced all weather.

There were a lot of people running around, using any prop they find to cover their head, but unfortunately I don't always find myself at the right place at the right time for a great capture.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these pre-, during and post-rain shots made with Fuji X-Pro2 and 35mm lens.
