This Sunday I went to Birla Auditorium that host shows/ seminars on astronomy and science. Some people also call it Birla Planetarium.

Hunting for Minimal Art Photographs, I even reached this place.

I did not think I would find any shot here though. 

But I did spot the Side Rail Bar near the sloping Parking Area climb. 

From there I started building my shot.

After a couple of clicks, I added some more Lines to compliment the Railing Bar and its shadow.

I mean the lines in the Top right section. Yes, those are Complimentary Lines.

Most of the Photo is Simple Geometric Lines and there categorized into Minimalism as Less Elements.

What we have here is a Black and White Minimalist Photograph of the Shadow of a Metal Railing at Jantar Mantar Jaipur, India, shot via Canon 6D Mark II Camera.

This is a special photograph for me as I love long shadows and this one I took by getting downstairs the main Sun Dial at Jantar Mantar. 

I wanted to show the Shadow of the Bar with a Spherical shape on the top left, falling on the right side of the Wall. 

To add more interest into the photo, I also included the Black area on the top right i.e the Zig Zag kind of shape. 

I could have otherwise cropped it or taken the shot more from my right hand side a few minutes earlier to keep it clean...

Black and White was a Choice while shooting and I had my camera in the Monochrome mode.

Would love to hear your Feedback on the choice of my Subject, the Elements and the Composition. 

Thank you

Have a Great Day !

A Black and White Minimalist Photograph of a Curly rusted metal railing, complimented by Negative or empty space.

This shot was taken during the Govind Dev Ji Temple photo walk, that I went for with a could of my Photographer friends.

While my friends were out to shoot Street Photogramy, I as usual was on a Mission to capture some simple Black and White Minimalist Photographs.

While we were on our way back from the Photowalk I saw  this Beautiful Rusted Railing in front of a house.

I was on my 50mm prime Canon lens and I just could not resist to close in on The Rusted Curl design in it part of it. 

Some of you may ask but Why shoot Rust in Black and White that too in a Minimalist Photograph? 

Well, Minimalist or not, Black and White gives the Photograph more of an Art feel and also accentuates the shapes i.e make them more prominent, by doing away the visual distraction caused by color.

The Composition of the Photograph is fairly simple and straight forward, just like any other Classic Minimalist Photograph. Negative Space, Rules of Thirds, Less Elements, Geometry etc. 

Alternatively, you can also look at a similar Minimalist Photograph that I captured on a different ocassion.
