A Recent Walk Sept 1st

September 3, 2018 By Peter J. Crowley 1 Comment

September first around the block thoughts on negative space and composition.

1954 Chevy Pick-Up Sept 1st 2018

Negative space how what isn’t your subject defines whether it is a snapshot or a photograph. On this image my concept and space reality made me crop this shot. A car parked behind and bushes that constrained my space to back up. I like the angle of the truck but this position removed the car it also added to much  front yard across the street. I like the crop alright but oh to be able to step back 18 inches.

Plums Ripen and fall to the sidewalk.

Triangles a prime aspect of composition push the viewers eyes to your subject. The obvious one is the branches caressing the plums. More subtle triangles the leaf in the upper left like a pin ball bumper directs your eye back to the plums as does the leaf in the lower right. If you look hard there are many little ones but all lead to subject.

Between Here and There Dreams Then and Now.

(-23-13 6pm the porch-002

Porch sitting as the sun set. Past I thought I’d end up in an old farm but the road between Here and There has had many turns some sharp each making There closer than Here. I’ve past this porch 2-4 times a week for over a year as I go to visit a sick friend. As I told the owners I have been stocking your porch lol. In truth I have watching times of day light and falling leaves seasons. Sunday I went by and knew the next day at 6pm would be perfect. Arriving at 5:45 I had time to park and walk to the front this is the second image, perfect timing. Ya that’s how I work I could have exposed it at any other time and Post Processed it, but that isn’t me! Nail the exposure and you have the image and emotion you wanted sure I dodged a bit in ceiling shadow. The Golden Hour…………………………. peace pjc

While in Willi I had a porch where Laurel and I would watch the early golden hour with coffee so peaceful.
