Blurry summer impressions by Theodoros Topalis

It is summer, the sun rises over the city and 

chase away the pleasant warmth of the night. 

Slowly everything begins to melt, even the 

people‘s faces. Shady and airy spots or a bathe 

in the sea attract the city‘s residents until the 

sun sets the day cools and life begin. 

How I got the idea of this project

In July and August of 2018 I passed my first heat waves in my new apartment, which is on the last floor under the roof. Dramatic temperatures about 30°C in the living room, and much more in the sleeping room ... in my workspace I stopped to measure the temperature!

Editing images was an impossible job, so I decided that the images for the next two months had to be out of cam and the theme had to be something with melting in the heat.

The only tools I used:

  • my xpro2

  • Fujinon 18mm (27mm) f2.0

  • ND 0.3 filter

  • Polfilter

  • Across film simulation / sometimes with Red filter
