Just wanna share some pictures I took yesterday while walking in the streets of Madrid. I reached Madrid yesterday and first thing that struck me is that the weather here is as warm as Brunei which is a contrast to Aberdeen. It's not as humid as Brunei though.
Anyway, hope you'll like the pictures I took.
The exterior view of the hotel I stay.
The room I stay in. It's quite nice.
First thing I had once I left the hotel is a cup of tea.
After tea and some food, I went to Puerta del Sol area and this group of musicians were playing some classical tunes. They are really good.
While I walked on, I came across this couple, who were performing in the street. They were sitting still but what's interesting is that they were covered with mud all over their body. Everytime someone puts a coin in their jar, which is placed in front of them, they will robot move for a few seconds and then go back to being still again. I wonder how much they earn a day like that.
Some snapshots of the buildings. Look at the cloudless sky.
These two guys must be trying to make some special effects with their photos. I just assumed that because the subject is posing in front of green papers that they put on the wall prior to taking the photos.
Cinema. All the hollywood movies are translated to Spanish
I came across this lady who was floating. All the time she was posed with a buddha stance and clinging on to the bamboo next to her. She looked like she was floating or supporting herself with just one arm. Curious onlookers intrigued by this, approached her and she'd introduce them to whatever she's trying to promote. There's a lady behind her video recording all the curious faces around. It looked really real but of course it's fake.
Later, I came to an area where there's a promotion being held. Free shandy were handed to the public. Very refreshing.
There were artists doing graffiti on the wall too. Look at the many cans of spray paint they need.
The artists at work.
There will be some more pictures which I'll post over the next few days. In the meantime, have a good weekend!

Hey Gabriel.
I must say you took really great pictures. Which Canon SLR are you using? Please don't mind if I saved a couple of them, they are really nice. Keep it up :)
Yuna, thanks for visiting. I am using a 400D now.
I dun mind at all if you wanna save a few of my photos ;)
Good stuff gab. I particularly like what youve done with the desaturated photos. I see you added a little sepia to the effect as well? It all just makes the composition tighter...... especially with the floating lady. I would say that photo has definately caught the mood on the street at the time. Welldone.
I will be playing around with this totally rad stuff and cs3 in the next few weeks after Im done with my cs3 tutorial. Its a shame you wont be here to show me some of ur tricks but hey.....thank goodness for the internet;)
