A new year, a new idea!
Recently I spent a
bright, hot, sunny morning photographing an old favorite subject captured many
times in conventional ways. But this time, the light being so strong, lent
itself to graphic results which was carried further in post processing as I
find the old rusty cars most appropriate for this treatment. Being familiar
with my subject, made it possible to immediately visualize photographs with dramatic
contrasts and knew the feeling I hoped to convey. Thus having an idea of how I
wanted the finished image to look. However the exciting part is always the
element of surprise in some of the unexpected designs as the images emerge. Then
it is time to concentrate on the balance of the patterns, develop them paying
great attention to the distribution
of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space.
I focused on designs
and had fun.
