A few years ago, I discovered the principle of shooting called spotting and continue to shoot in it. I have tried different methods and techniques from the usual focus to the long one. This time I got a line between the randomness of a set of spots, elements, objects, and an aesthetic and understandable plot.
There are certain conditions for creating a beautiful picture.
Everyone knows about the golden hour, background blur and composition.
If you need to do something out of the ordinary, then you need to go from the opposite.
That is, to shoot at noon, when there are hard shadows and strong contrast.
Clamp the aperture to the limit so that all plans are sharp, so that there is no volume.
And the composition in such plots is made up in the form of a carpet, that is, the elements in the frame are evenly distributed.
The purpose of creating such images is experimental in nature and does not pretend to be the highest art of photography.
This is a view of the surrounding reality from the point of view of physics and geometry.
We are surrounded by many components in the form of spots of light and shadows, in the form of color spots, as well as many geometric shapes and lines.
It turns out something like the effect of the decomposition of a ray of light into a spectrum...according to the meaning.
Many people take pictures just as they are.
And I tried to decompose this direct light (reality) and highlight one or more components.
On the street we see people, houses, signs, infrastructure and architecture.
And I see a set of spots in all this.
If you do not go into the direct meaning of all the elements of the frame, then in physics it will be only light or dark areas and their color difference.
To be continued...
