Shadows and reflections contest entry: @antikus369

As part of the competition, we will talk today about reflections on the water. I think these are the most beautiful and fantastic reflections on the water. You, as if you find yourself in some kind of fairy tale, where magic and the mystery of the image reign. The trepidation of the moment gives us inspiration for creativity. The amazing beauty of nature for any photographer, as a fact of self-expression in their work. And such a summer landscape is a step into beauty for us.

I love being in nature, photographing landscapes, absorbing the beauty of the surrounding world. For us - photographers and artists, nature opens the door to the world of beauty, delight and pleasure. You can walk for a long time with a camera in nature, wanting to find an interesting and beautiful shot. But as practice shows, you need to take a lot of photos in order to catch a moment that will surprise not only the master, but also the viewer. This is the main thing.

Today we all take a lot of photographs in our lives with the advent of new technologies. In the hands of a huge army of users (and these are millions and millions of people) - cameras with powerful lenses, smartphones or tablets have appeared. Where there are also very good optics so that you can take good photos. But everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance - there are also few real masters of photography in the world, and we can see this in exhibitions.

There are many genres of photography, but one of my favorites is, of course, Landscape. Just look at what beautiful reflections of trees on the water of the river are in front of us. Such a fragile line in nature that you understand well - now the wind will blow and all this beauty will instantly disappear before you. But the camera recorded this moment, which will forever remain in the frame and in the photographer's archive. This is how she is - the beauty of nature.

As we well know, interesting and sometimes fantastic photographs can be taken not only in nature, photographing landscapes. There is a great opportunity for the photographer's creativity and on city streets. As an example, someone indifferently walks past a puddle of water in the spring, in which you can see the reflection of an Orthodox church. But the photographer notices this beauty and takes several pictures - realizing that these reflections in the puddle may disappear tomorrow.

Each of us always wants to make a great shot, and attractive in its essence. And this can be done only when each of us learns to understand not only the beauty of nature and landscape, but also the basics of composition. And for understanding - the composition is always built according to the rules and fundamentals, which for any photographer should become a plan and a concept, a script and a staged shot. As an example, this photo with the reflection of a multi-storey building in a puddle of water on a city street. The photographer must understand how he will compose his new shot in order to impress the viewer. This is the professional approach to the work of the master.

CONTEST - SHADOWS AND REFLECTIONS

This morning I saw a rather interesting proposal for a Shadows and Reflections from @Galenkp and decided that I will participate in this competition. Why? Because I have been taking part in contests organized by the Community for a long time Shadow Hunters. During my participation, I learned a bit about choosing photos for the Shadow and Reflection competition. And since my experience allows you to search and take photos for the community, there is an opportunity now to provide several photos for the competition Сontest Shadows and reflections. I really hope that my photos will be liked and will leave some mark on the ongoing competition. Thanks to everyone who read my post, left a comment and liked it. This is important both for me and for the competition being held.

The choice for every photographer is that he needs to know how to correctly position the subject in his photograph? The correct presentation of what the photographer wanted to convey so that the viewer immediately sees the main thing depends on this. All this will improve not only the photography itself, but also the photographer's skills as an amateur. After all, everyone wants to become a professional in their field or creativity. Photography is an art form that needs real artists. Someone knows, and someone does not - that any person unwittingly pays attention to the photo, when any object (like a person) on it is located one third from the top or base in the photo.

Or the object is located in the center of the composition - to the right or to the left of the border visually defined in the image. A photographer, both a beginner and a professional, must always remember this, then his work will benefit creativity. And the viewer will be pleased with the photo that he will provide for viewing. You should also always remember that there should be some kind of empty space in the photo, which makes the photo easy to perceive. It is not necessary to fill the entire frame with the subject, as if wanting to enlarge for the beauty of the frame, this can unpleasantly ruin the photographer's work. Knowing the basics of composition add beauty to any photo. At the same time, any composition can be used in photography.

These are my thoughts on the topic of the competition - Shadows and Reflections, including reflections on the water and composition.
