Inspiration has finally been found! That day I went to take pictures with joy, that is, in full agreement with myself. I didn't know exactly what I wanted, but I was completely open. I have recently been interested in drawings created by shadows from falling sunlight. This is probably almost the basis of the whole photo!
And now I want to take the basics apart again.
I'll start by defining all these self-named genres of street photography of mine.
There is an ordinary street photography, which has its own definition and characteristics. I once divided this street into subgenres or directions, which differ from each other both in feelings, perception of the environment, and in the content of the picture.
Spotted Street is a subgenre of street photography, where I shoot street scenes mainly with a telephoto lens, visually compressing the space with the help of a maximally closed aperture, where there is no planning.
In this direction, I am trying to gather the maximum possible number of objects, colors, light spots and shadows into the frame of the frame.
I try to do it so that the frame is filled evenly, without an obvious emphasis on anything.
Spotted – because there are a lot of objects in the frame that look like spots when viewed from afar.
But a little earlier than the spotted street, I discovered a contrasted street, only before the appearance of the spotted one I did not call it in any way.
Contrasted street is a subgenre of street photography, where there is a sharp drop in light and shadow in the plot, where most of the frame can simply be black or be in deep shadow with almost no visible details.
Contrast street I usually shoot on a standard lens with a focal length from 24 to 105 mm .
This is due to the physics of space, since it is difficult to shoot such stories on TV.
I also divided these genres according to my feelings.
I plunge into contrasting plots as if into space, due to the fact that work with space is carried out directly here and now.
Whereas I only feel the spotted telestreet visually, that is, from afar and only then I can get a pleasant feeling from the finished picture.
But! Spots can be removed on the same principle, interacting with the space directly, as a contrast street.
You can also collect a large number of randomly placed objects in the frame.
But on the contrary, it will most likely be impossible to do.
If you try to shoot a contrast straight on a telephoto lens, then most often you will get a spotty one. This is already elementary physics of light and shadow.
To be continued...
