Drive through shopping

Drive through shopping
Drive through shopping | Argos | 2021

A quick post with a street photograph in between. Isn’t this drive through shopping at it’s best? Driving a scooter through a market shopping veggies directly from a stall still sitting on the machine? Life as it happens on a greek Saturday market.

Image taken with the Leica M and the Summicron 50mm F/2. Image specs 1/125 sec @ f/11 and ISO 400. Postprocessing in Lightroom Classic.

Stay tuned for more posts of my series “Greece explored”.

Have a great Monday
