This is the top, the tower! The best conditions for spots are bright sun high above the horizon and the presence of trees.
But I'll start with a warm-up. After all, I remove not only spots, but everything around. And, by the way, I haven't told you for a long time, and I didn't notice for myself what kind of creative wave I'm on now.
And now I am smoothly thrown on the spots, then on the city landscape.
But in my heart I want urban or natural graphics, and this is autumn.
And here again I come to the fact that I remember the events not of last year, but of two or three years ago.
At that time I was able (which is strange) to shoot a graphic urban landscape in the summer.
And all this just means that I disconnected from this frequency.
It is enough to feed yourself with inspiring pictures on a given topic for just one or two days and the connection will take place.
And when there is a desire, the connection to the necessary (desired) creative wave will happen many times faster.
Spotted Street stuck in me for a long time.
Most likely, this is a very extensive and important topic that I will have to study until the end.
The study of graphics lasted for three years, and there may be more here.
I also keep statistics in all my fields. I calculated how many pictures I take in each year and drew a schedule. It smacks of geometric progression.
If we take five years ago and now, the difference in the number of images exceeds 2.5 times, and ten years ago – almost 5 times!
At the moment, I have already fulfilled the 2018 norm in terms of the number of pictures!
But I want to note that there have also been downturns. The schedule turned out to be not quite growing.
For example, from 2012 to 2014, the decline was almost twofold, and a sharp increase went only in 2019.
Although statistics are interesting only to a narrow circle of people and those whom it concerns. And this data is only for me personally.
It also turned out that the number of pictures is not affected by the presence of a blog or any obligation to anyone or even yourself.
Everything is based on the study of certain genres.
Street photography itself is dynamic and implies a large number of takes and variants of one scene.
And the study of villages is static and depends only on the amount of money in your pocket to refuel the car with gas.
Also, the number of images was not affected by the change of equipment.
You can also compile completely different statistics: the number of masterpieces issued per year.
You can click as much as you want, but if there are no decent frames at the output, then statistics will be meaningless.
It seems to me that the study of any photographic genre boils down first to the extraction of fossils, and then giving them a cut.
That is, at first I just remove the spots as a fact, and then I hone the aesthetics in them.
It was the same with graphics: I shot chaos and trash, and then aesthetics began to emerge in the plots.
Even unbeknownst to myself, I have come to know such an offshoot in street photography as silhouettes.
I tried to come to them consciously, but in the end I learned unconsciously.
So it can also be: something needs to be achieved with backbreaking work, and something comes by itself.
Apparently, this creative technique is so simple that I didn't need to pay any attention to it.
...Let this post be as voluminous as possible.
Just accumulated thoughts that I wanted to express without breaking them into pieces.
Good luck to everyone!
