April 2026 - Chestnuts Roaster
About the Image(s)
This image of the Chestnut Roaster was created a few years ago on the streets of Lisbon - Portugal. It shows the person in charge lifting a cone that holds the heat created by charcoal heated by gas inside the cart. It is a popular snack during its season. A few customers are waiting to buy them. They sale by the dozen. On the side of the cart you can see tha larga bag full of chestnuts waiting to be roasted. As an additional give away, we can appreciate the typical stones on the streets of Lisbon.
Used a Nikon D300 with the Nikkor zoom lens 18-200 mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 26 mm (39 mm in 35 mm equivalent) and these settings: ISO 200, f/9 and 1/320. The image was PP in LightRoom and cropped slightly.
