Street photography in my city of Lagos, Nigeria : Series 1

By @dorth6/10/2018streetphotography

Hello beautiful people called steemians. So, between last week and now, I decided to take a tour round some locations in my city of Lagos but not without my Gopro in hand. The aim was to take some good shots of some and anything I see.It was an impromptu arrangement for me and I just allowed the shots come the way they would.


Lagos happens to be the commercial capital of Nigeria (although the old formal capital before it was moved to Abuja). The city therefore has in it's representation of every category/class of human beings you would have and in relation to their environments.

I'll start with the ones we're most likely more familiar with and try to tell a story.

The Sun was setting this faithful day, and then the thoughts of some shots came to mind.

Apparently, that's what the roads look like when a construction is in progress... you're sure to be held in traffic.

So, there is a "bus stop" and a crowd of people. Can we find out what's going on?

Oh yeah, there is a rail line close to the busstop

Do you really think she's too close to the rail line? I bet she doesn't think same way. She's doing business... 😁

Now my journey takes me to the computer village... follow me on this journey as I bring you this in my next post.


Please understand this is some street photography in which I didn't take permission before taking the shots and so, some have to appear the way they do 😃😚


All images are mine,taken with my gopro hero 5 (made the shots easier to take).
