Minimalism as Less Elements

A Minimalist Photograph of the Corner of a Park Bench at Central Park, Jaipur.

My intention here was to emphasize on the Curve of the Bench Armrest and the Spiral shape it was forming at the top. 

To achieve this, I used the widest aperture possible on my Canon 100 mm prime Macro lens, aka f/2..8 

Shooting with such an aperture resulted in effective segregation of the subject in the foreground with the background, for this setting created Background Blur or Bokeh. The Bokeh effect results in sharp attention and focus on the key subject. Note: there must be some depth behind the subject for the bokeh/background blue effect to come out nicely.

I also wanted to show the Shadow of the Park Bench Corner on the wall, and to achieve that I moved a little to the left of the Armrest.

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 100 mm Prime Macro Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/2.8
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/1250 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-100
  
  
• Focal Length: 100 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual
  
  

Hope you enjoyed the Park Bench Corner Minimalist Photograph.

Thank you for your time. Have a Nice Day !

Spiral Tendril

Minimalism as Less Elements

Photo By © Prakash GhaiBuy Now

A Minimal Art Picture of a Spiral shaped Tendril.

There are a few Creeper plants in my backyard. This Spiral Tendril belongs to one of them. I had the Macro Lens mounted on my Canon 6D Mark II Camera for this. 

Initially, I was composing a close-up shot of just the Spiral Tendril, but soon I realized that, this kind of shot is very common. 

So, I moved back a little and included a Diagonal Line in the frame, right below the Spiral Tendril. 

This Minimalist Photograph falls under Minimalism as Less Elements category of Minimalist Photography. 

Theme here is my all time favorite: Nature Minimalism

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 100 mm Prime Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/2.8
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec.

Park Bench Handle

A Minimalist Photo of the Curved Handle of a Green Park Bench, at Central Park, Jaipur.

It was very hot today in Jaipur and I was out at Central Park at 4.00 pm in the afternoon, hunting for Minimalist Photography subjects, 

It was 38 degrees. Well, I have also taken pictures in 46 degrees but since summers have just arrived and I am not used to the heat yet, so it felt really hot today.

This Green Bench was spotted near the Park's gate which is bang opposite Tapri Central Tea House. 

I went down on my knees to capture this which helped me to bring the subject to eye-level.

A fairly low aperture was used here to play with the depth of the field and to increase the attention on the subject.

Later, I realized that the lines in the bench might work well as Leading Lines, so I even tried a few shots on Apertures as high as F/22 - F/32.

But those shots did not turn out well, therefore, I settled for the lower aperture shot. 

The EXIF Data of the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Model: Canon EOS 6D Mark II
  
  
• Lens: Canon 100 mm Prime Lens
  
  
• F-stop: f/2.8
  
  
• Shutter Speed: 1/1000 sec.
  
  
• ISO speed: ISO-100
  
  
• Focal Length: 100 mm
  
  
• Metering mode: Spot
  
  
• Exposure program: Manual
  
  

Hope you enjoyed the Park Bench Handle  Minimalist Photograph.

Colorful Diagonal Lines

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

I am Back :) but with a Simple Geometry Minimalism photograph this time around. 

These Colorful Diagonal Lines, were spotted on a closed metal shutter of a Shop, right opposite to the famous Hawa Mahal Palace in Old Jaipur City.

I clicked this with my Canon 600 D and the 100mm Prime Macro Lens that I have.

I captured this from the side and used a shallow depth of field to create a different sort of a imagery that I usually do not produce. 

I rarely use shallow depth of field (at least as of now, lol...no by the way since the last 4 years ). 

That frequency might change in the future though. 

Hope you like this subtle change in my style.

All feedback about the Photograph is welcomed.

Have a good day !!

I have to cut it short today, as the lights just went off and my laptop might turn off pretty soon.

Bye ! See you Later !

Theme: Minimalism and Nature

 

 Minimalism Type: Less Elements

I spotted the above Minimalist Photograph of a Dried Arborvitae Plant, at Central Park - Jaipur.

I Shot this via my Canon 600D Camera, with the 100mm Price Macro L Series Canon Lens attached.

I chose a Low Aperture Value here to throw the Background out of Focus and kept my focus on only a part of the Plant.

This helped me to make the Photograph Less Cluttered and more Simplistic in Nature.

• Aperture: F 2.8
• ISO: 200
• Shutter Speed: 1/125 sec

Thank you for your time.

Rusted Barb Wire

Macro Minimalism is pretty different from the Long Range Street Minimalism that I mostly shoot. 

This Minimalist Photo is one from the Close Range Minimal shots category.

I used the Canon 100mm prime Macro F 2.8 L Series Lens here. 

Settings: Taken on Manual Focus of Both the Camera and Lens.

What prompted me to take this shot was the Rust in the Barb Wire.

The subject is kept a touch off-center on purpose.

The Blurry Background / Bokeh is a result of shooting this photograph at F 2.8 aperture. 

And Finally, The Photo falls under the Minimalism as Less Elements Category. 

Hope you enjoyed the Shot. 

Have a Great Day / Evening.

Thank You.
