My Hero

 

"Notice how the plant in the right corner helps balance and justifies the space!"

My hero allowed me to photograph him!, thank you very much. In the morning, when there is less wind, and the sun is filtered by some fog, is without a doubt the best time for macros.

See how he chose the tallest branch to...? He seems very personalized to me, or It wouldn't choose that dangerous spot
But see how I framed it, nothing in the center, but balancing it with the other plants. Looking for some dynamics.

Having a notion of composition is very good, even if it seems confusing at first. But the eyes, like the tongue and ears, educate themselves and speak!

How to compose photos or paintings

One day the famous philosopher Socrates was asked: "How to summarize in a few words the necessary content for a painting?" and he simply replied, "Variety in unity!"

Mathematical Equilibrium

See here the wealth of spaces, all different, to the right, left, above, below, and remember the words of Socrates

I leave here, in order of numbers, the points that will be most important according to the visualization, mainly in posters. However, with creativity this whole order can be changed. I have a painting where the most important part is, against the rules, right underneath. Understand?

The circle shows the area of the golden point, the most important of all, which has nothing to do with math, but with diversity in distances: left, right, above, below.






Look at these surrounding lines showing the composition of the flowers diagonally

The rules of composition are to be known, but not to be stuck with them like on the road. They should only serve to create a good visual education for us, right?, and set us free.

My Bed (and) Unmemorable Dreams

A bed

has always been something too important in our lives to be treated simply as more

             a piece of furniture!

not dreams

memorable,

         which we only remember when we wake up are often compensatory plays to fill the gaps

    and the setbacks in our lives

 

Before Being

 

Abstract art in photography, in addition to its beauty, demands from us the knowledge of visual education, a fact that should not discourage those who do not yet have it, as by reading, analyzing, practicing, one evolves.

Afterwards, the surprise that this technique offers is something very rewarding.

Beyond Tomorrow

 










   Another image created on a Canon EOS.

    Digital cameras, and even classic ones, can go much further than what our eyes see in reality. They can be authentic creators and assistants to artists in the insatiable search for new creations in their works

Infinite route

The search for new forms in the world of light is surprising, taking us beyond our imagination, and makes me think that in photographic art there is still an infinite journey to be covered.

Fantastic world

 

When observed with a little art, the world of little ones becomes truly fantastic.

Appreciate the skill with which the hammock is designed!, and also the pose of the spider. The most visible part is the back, the head is there, tiny between four legs divided two by two.

With the exaggerated increase in temperature, insects have almost all disappeared in this region of Baixo Alentejo (Odemira).

visual essay

In addition to faithfully reproducing images, colors, like the sounds that make music for the ears, can make music for the eyes.

The Hill of the Rock

 

A special place from my childhood! We ran everywhere, much to the distress of our mothers...

And we were so happy!

Never return to the land where you were happy

"Never return to the land where you were happy"

It's an old saying, well known, but not taken into account much.

If, for some reason, you embark on this return, I suggest, do not cut your roots with the land where you currently live, making your return impossible; and that, even if you're having a hard time.

Several people have already returned to the land where they were happy, and regretted it. Some managed to reverse the situation, but others disgraced their lives.

So, keep the saying in mind, no matter how beautiful the land where you were happy, especially in your youth; Because, everything changes, and what makes a land truly beautiful is not the landscape!, but the people
