“自然城市夜倒影之形 Nature Reflected Urban Night Forms” / 寧 Serenity / SML.20130321.7D.35757.C23.BW
In art school, we were taught to “draw what [we] see.” The philosophy is simple: when the left brain get involved and proceed to interpret what “must” be reality, what is drawn is never a representation of reality. Of course, an artist is up to his/her own interpretation, but if the intention is to represent reality, then this is a very good way of achieving it.
These bizarre patterns are seen every night outside my window. Photography captures reality so it is interesting to note how it seems completely illogical that water should appear like this—but yet it does.
Ships disturbs the flow of water, so under long exposure, it renders a matte surface which reflects the lights + shadows from the tree-lined Tolo Highway. The undisturbed water is left behind with a clear dark divide, brightened only by the light anchor floating in the sea.
The capture is mounted on a tripod and captured using a remote, so trust that everything is lying still, but the water moves, so the light anchor is moving quite a bit, even though we might think that it should not.
