The two faces of cities - Photo challenge🏙️

Hello Gamers photographers!

For this occasion we will be visiting various towns and cities, some will be colourful and full of life thanks to its inhabitants, however, there will be other towns where it seems that death and destruction have only left ruins that tell the story of what was once a thriving civilization.

So please take your camera because we will leave to photograph these beautiful and chaotic Towns and cities... By the way, participate quickly as there is still time!

I would like to start this adventure in the war-torn cities. While doing a mission as a sniper I have taken the time to eliminate all the enemies first before taking the pictures, as this way I am more relaxed without being shot everywhere Xd.

Sniper elite does have that immersive war setting in the city of Berlin with that peculiar style that you've probably seen in the movies, however, this time we can only appreciate the destruction that the war has left in its wake.

Here I am running while taking cover in this corner, because the only sniper in this video game is not just me!

This is a building with Nazi flags all over the place, I must keep an eye on the upstairs windows, as sometimes some shooters wait for me to come out of hiding.

At the moment the virtual experience of playing this video game can to some extent result in being a lethal sniper and feel the honor of fulfilling each objective; however, when everything is seen from a photographic perspective I can see that this really happened and how these cities now look like deserted streets, the fact of thinking that many inhabitants were exterminated by the bombings.

And I think the best way to describe this feeling is with this last photograph from the heights to see the devastated horizon....

Now I want to show the other side of cities in video games, so for this I have photographed some streets of a cheerful and colourful city in the “supermarket simulator”, maybe it is a video game that you have never tried for this reason I invite you to see how this city.

My business is this and of course it is a supermarket, I have not opened it yet, because I need to stock it with new merchandise. This video game has some interesting mechanics to make my business grow, but this would be another topic in another post.

To focus on the theme of the city, I managed to take this picture where an elegant man is passing right in front of my business.

This is what the inside of my place looks like, it's almost empty!

Here I tried something new with the camera, as I went to the game settings to make the field of view more distant, so I managed to take pictures with a different angle and perspective.

This camera effect is great with this corner of the city.

Of course, there are also inhabitants who walk the streets, and here are some pictures of them.

In this picture, it looks like he was using a drone!

And to close this trip through the cities I leave you a funny picture where I was trying to capture the sun of the city and a woman was very close to my camera and I can even see the makeup on her eyelids hahaha.

Thank you very much for reading and leave your comment!
