Neon paint splashed. Part 3

in Photography9 months ago

I have always liked bright acidic colors, since childhood I have loved colored Christmas tree toys and Christmas decorations. But in classical photography, excessive saturation is unacceptable and looks artificial.

But when such reflections appear, the real saturation even has to be muted so that the eye perceives it more naturally.

It is best not to look for a one-color luminous sign, but to have several colors.

But the most ideal thing I could find turned out to be a billboard with a rotating advertisement.

It turned out that in one place it was possible to collect many different combinations of colors.

You just need to have time to press the button at the right time.

Although if you have a lot of time, you can experiment with the selection of combinations for a long time.

Any reflecting surface with water is suitable for shooting, whether it is a small puddle in the ice or a huge wet snow mass.

Ice or snow is not required – you can just take a picture of wet asphalt.

I'm sure it won't be so interesting without snow.

But even ordinary asphalt can give an amazing plot, the main thing is to choose the right angle.

In general, I found the perfect conditions!

I will repeat all the best criteria for shooting such pictures.

  1. Telephoto lens+tripod. In my case, 100-400 mm.

  2. Spring or autumn with sleet, porridge and puddles.

  3. Billboard with interchangeable pictures.

  4. The angle is as close as possible to a straight in relation to the surface to be removed.

  5. Clamped aperture for greater depth of field.

Oh, I haven't tried to take the dirt off!

Now there is also a new idea for shooting.
