Photography - 1 Plant and Red Poppies

Hi there,

I am not a big fan of floral shots, I think that most of them look the same, and there are too many of those pictures anyway. Eventually you get bored looking at them. That's why I am trying to take those shots in a different way.

A rainy day is such a pleasure for me, I like the smell, the atmosphere, the clouds in the sky... everything looks more romantic and special, even the common things. I like to grab the camera and capture the obvious things who looks majestic (after the rain).

One rainy day, I was walking with a friend, we were trying to find some things to capture, and we couldn't find something special. but then... suddenly, we've noticed a small plant, not a very special one, but the rain drops on its leaves looked like pearls, or diamonds - now, that is majestic!

The same day, we haven't found much things to capture, it was a lovely day but without many results, besides of some flowers here and there. I looked at those plain red poppies, and thought to myself, how can I make them more interesting, more artistic? I started to shoot them from different angles, but they still were very simple and boring. Just before I left the place frustrated, I decided to disable the focus, and to shoot them in a blurry mode.  When I got home and looked at the photo, I liked the result, It was like a painting, a hint of red flowers in a green creamy ocean. 

Weeks later... the sun was shinning, we went to visit the same area, and discovered a huge field of poppies! it was marvelous, everywhere we looked we saw that red ocean, that was the nature at its glory. We thought that we've arrived there pretty early, and we would be the only people there, but I guess we were wrong...

That specific beautiful weekend day, the beautiful scenery and all the happy people were captured in that happy, and optimistic photo.

This photo reminds me that life is beautiful, you just have to look around, and to appreciate the little things. 

That's it for now, thank you for visiting my blog.

Digital Art - A Little Bit Of Abstract

Hi there!

This post will be dedicated to Abstract Art.

A word about Abstract :
Abstract art is an art form that takes the reality as we now it, and puts it aside. it could be unrecognized shapes, semi-recognized reality, or geometrical figures, but it will always take the liberty to show us a non-existing reality as we know it. Sometimes you can see, or imagine some resemblance to our known world, most of the time it will be extremely unique and exclusive. It will force you to use your imagination and feelings, to visualize... that is probably the reason why some people like it, some don't. You have to use your own mind, and recruit your life experiences in order to figure out the art by yourself, two different people will see and feel different things, and that's the beauty of this art form!

That's why I love Abstract, there is no right or wrong, good or bad, everyone can see their thing, and it's ok. For me it's way more interesting than those classic paints that look like a photo, although they have amazing details and accuracy. I guess I prefer discovering my own explanation, and to hear other people opinions regarding the art.

I would like to show you some of my recent Abstracts, with my point of view.

Circles and Squares

When I take a photo, or digitally paint an abstract, I usually feel and imagine the piece. Many times, especially when I paint, I feel like in a journey. I explore many things, correct and start all over again, until I find the destination. Sometimes it amazes me - to start a new concept, and to finish it in a completely different way. In this piece I tried to create a simple but sophisticated combination of colors and shapes, with a retro feel. I was quite happy when I saw the result.

Crazy Colors

This piece was originally created with only two colors - black and red. During my journey with that particular paint, I felt that I have to see in front of me some colorful waves, unrestrained messy happiness. At the end it was looking like a celebration of color and movement - an absolute joy.

Triangles Madness 

This one shows us the chaos and the order. we can see many colors in unrecognized shapes all over the canvas. but if we look closely we can see that the colors are placed in triangles - sinuses order. and in between we can find some figures and symbols.
Like in nature, the chaos and the order are mixed together.

Polls

In this one, I wanted to evoke a cold and unpleasant feeling. Cold black metal polls, that won't meet in a colorless framed environment. To me, it's like the modern world, many of us are communicating less with each other, and more via technology, we are working to much, and we limit our world to our well-known daily routine.










That's it folks :)
In future posts it'll be my pleasure to share with you some photography Abstracts.
