Good morning dear Friends and Photography Lovers🙌📸
Every picture I took today has a story. They are not "spectacular" photos – there are no perfect compositions or filters. But they have soul. They have a moment. This is my city that I love.
That's my Sisak in my beautiful Croatia.
So, let's go for a ride further through it
That day I didn't have a specific plan. There was no goal or deadline. Just the need to escape from everyday life for a bit – from the hustle and bustle, noise and routine. I got in the car, turned on some calming music and set off through the streets of my city. The ones I know by heart, but who for some reason look different today.
And most importantly – they reminded me how beautiful it is to stop. To look up. To observe the world around us not as a passerby, but as a witness. Because our city is not just a place where we live. It is a living story, constantly changing – and waiting for us to get to know it again.
At the end of the day, I didn't travel very far. I didn't discover anything "new" – but I did see the familiar in a new way. And that, in fact, is worth more than it seems.
I took the photo, like all the others, with a Nikon D750, 50mm lens, f/1.8, manual mode. I processed them in Photoshop, Camera Raw Filter- NikCollection- Tonal Contrast
And this is all for Today dear Friends, see you Tomorrow
👋👋 @goga22
Beautiful pictures 😍
Thank you so much dear @yogeshbhatt ❤️
Thank you so much dear @jishan5 ❤️
That choice to stick with the 50mm in manual fits your unplanned wander perfectly. It makes you move and notice, and Tonal Contrast from Nik adds just enough grit to the mood. Manual mode is like a tiny workout for the brain, right? Do you have a go-to Tonal Contrast setting for city scenes, or do you tweak it each stop?
Thank you very much for such a nice comment dear @amr008 ❤️, really. As for Nik Collection, I try to adjust it the way I like it best when I see the result. And no, I don't have a setting for a city scene, but I work on each photo separately. Sometimes the processing differs, especially when the lighting is different, the angle of the photo, the frame. Even when the sky is cloudless, like on one from this series, I don't do Tonal Contrast. Somehow I find it best when there are clouds in the sky.
Ah that sounds great.
And yes, one more thing.... Ever since I got my Nikon D750, it never occurs to me to take photos in anything other than manual mode
Same here, once manual becomes muscle memory, everything else feels slow. What’s your usual starting point on the street, do you ride ISO or shutter when the light shifts? And which metering do you trust on the D750, matrix or spot, with the histogram as the final check?

Sometimes what we need isn't a new place, but a new perspective. Pictures always look beautiful👍
