Vertical Vs Diagonal Lines

Minimalism as Simple Geometry

A Minimal Art Photo of a Black Wire running across Diagonally against an Orange textured wall with Vertical Sections.

What I liked here was the Shadow of the Diagonal Black Wire, being casted in parts on the Vertical Sections of the Orange wall, almost giving a surrealistic feel to the entire Photograph. 

Sure, since this Image is all about Lines, therefore once can easily classify this under the Minimalism as Simple Geometry category of Minimalism. 

I thought a long while on whether this image would look good in Black and White or Color. I am usually biased towards Black and White, but this time I kept the photo colored.

Maybe because other than the Red Color, I like Orange as the second best. What is your favorite color by the way?

Kitty Face

Minimalism as Parts of the Whole

This is a Macro / Closeup Photograph of a Kitty's Face that I clicked at the Mad About Dogs pet store in Jaipur. 

I have a stray cat and I purchase my food for her from that store. 

I went to that store one day with my Canon EOS 6D Mark II and the 100 mm Macro Lens that I have. 

They have a few Cats and Dogs for sale in the store and they freely roam around and play with the incoming customers / visitors. 

This Cat was comfortably sitting on the billing counter while I was paying for my bill. 

I thought It would be a good idea to click a Macro Photograph of hers as she was very still. 

Initially, I captured the regular Cat Eyes closeup shots, but soon I remembered, that I could shoot Minimalism as Parts of the Whole.

Therefore, I only shot half of her face in Portrait Mode, with her Nose, Mouth and her Whiskers being visible.

Let's also take a quick look at the EXIF Data for the Photograph.

The EXIF Data for the Photo is as follows:

• Camera Maker: Canon

The Water Sprinkler

Minimalism as Less Elements

Hello All !

I am back with a Minimalist Photograph. This time I chose Black and White Photograph over Colored one, for I haven't posted a decent Black and White Minimalist Photo in a while. 

So lets quickly get to the Photograph.

The Photo above of The Water Sprinkler, falls under the Minimalism as Less Elements Category. The Elements being the Grass, the Fence, and The Water Sprinkler playing a small little guest appearance :)

I clicked this photograph from an over-bridge, looking down from the top. The angle was a unique one indeed. This place is a garden maintained at the back-side of a famous Hotel in Jaipur.

One usually doesn't get access to such places, so an Over-bridge is a nice idea.

OK, So while I was taking the shot, I spotted a guard walking around the open garden. I was planning initially, to take a Minimalism as in Small Objects photograph by showing the guard small in size relative to the vast open garden. But, that didn't happen, as in the shots that I took, the placement and the shape of the guard dint come out the way I wanted to. 

So, I switched to Plan B, ie. Shooting this shot under the Minimalism as Less Elements, without the guard.

I took a Colored Shot of the above Garden field to begin with but that came out pretty flat

The Water Sprinkler firing, also wasn't visible in that shot. 

In my next try, I tried to time the spray of The Water Sprinkler. I wanted to place it nicely according to the rule of thirds on the right of the frame. A couple of shots down I placed it right where I wanted to. I let it move a little towards the center for the frame. That's it, I was happy then and I moved on to my next location.

Today, I was just a different mood, so instead of sharing the work in Colored, I converted the Photograph into Black and White and I liked that more so I Posted that. Hope you enjoyed the little behind the scenes action.

See you all next post.
