I love negative space, which I think often provides breathing space and an aura of calm, so I was happy to see this week's theme. I fought the urge to choose a white background (believe me, it was a battle!) and instead chose 2 more of the pieces of painted paper I bought from an artist as 'byproducts' of her abstract work. The wooden vase is 1" high.
For this week's Crazy Tuesday group theme, Negative Space.

A crowdfunded pedestrian bridge! Bright yellow paint! Lovely!
Well, lovely on the internet, in photographs. In reality, we walked up some worn, peeling yellow stairs in absolute darkness... This place was not like the photographs.
It seems that, in the (only) 3 years since it was opened, the walkway has been left to rack and ruin. Grafiti and darkness? Not exactly the welcoming, publically-minded place it was meant to be.

K.Marinović - The Negative View
Hi friends, here is my newest work called "The Negative View"! As you already know, the photo I like the most of all my photos is "The View". In this version of that photo I tried to do something a bit more interesting. I turned it to negative and played around with it a bit. I really like the extra surreal look!
Tell me what you think!
Cheers!

negative is my outdoor cat.
he thinks he owns my lawn and garden and bird feeder.
he comes to my backdoor for food but will not come into the house.
the house is not his territory.
he will live like this forever. i have blended him into the outdoors, big and bold.
This photo is an attempt to make the negative space around the object as interesting as the subject itself. It’s a detail of the sculpture by Leigh Dyer called The Landing which is on Hastings seafront.

For 'Crazy Tuesday' theme of 'Negative Space'
Couldn't resist!
This seemed a very simple idea but turned out otherwise.
Made a loop in a piece of thread and then in suspending it the difficulties were:
- getting the loop facing the camera
- preventing the loop getting smaller as the thread was tightened
- getting the thread reasonably vertical
And you are seeing about 1½" of thread.

I used 3x overlapping pieces of thin card to create a triangle (negative space). I used focus staking which produced the strange textured look.

Started noticing a subtle change in sunlight the other day. Starts happening every year as we approach the autumnal equinox. The sun begins to cast more glare. It's still full-on summer in the northern latitudes. But the sun is definitely on the decline, rising slightly lower in the sky each day. I think the shift is something photographers are more keen on than most people. As a group I think we tend to notice things like this because we look for them. For me the shift presages the more dramatic effects that will occur in September. Sun glare becomes an increasing factor and uncomfortable to the eye. Right now I'm just trying to suck every last ounce of enjoyment out of August. The psychological impact of flipping a calendar to September is something I'll never overcome. It's rooted in 'back-to-school' sadness of my youth. I'm veering way off course here. Back in the moment, I was taken with how everything I was seeing in this cemetery seemed to be presented in terms of negative space. The gravestones were pitched in shade creating the effect of grim, life-sized chess pieces. The leaves were perfectly silhouetted across the intense sky. The shift is subtle, but unmistakable.
i didn't get any flowers for valentine's, can you believe it?!? ;)
nah, it's actually fine with me, valentine's only got big in germany a few years ago and hasn't been a major deal in our family ever. whatever you do today: just remember to express your love each and every day of the year in little gestures. i bet most people don't even know who valentine'sday was named after:
Saint Valentine: Holy Priest of Rome: The date of Saint Valentine's birth is not known. Along with Saint Marius and his family, Saint Valentine assisted the martyrs during the persecution they suffered under the rule of Claudius II (also known as Claudius the Goth and Claudius the Cruel). In addition, since Rome was at the time involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns, the emperor found it difficult to recruit the male populace into joining his military leagues. Believing this to be because Roman men were adverse to leaving their loved ones or their familes, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements within the City of Rome. Saint Valentine and Saint Marius, however, continued to perform wedding ceremonies in secret. When is was discovered that Saint Valentine was defying the emperor's decree, he was apprehended and dispatched by Claudius to the Prefect of Rome who, being unable to force the saint to renounce Christianity, ordered that Valentine be clubbed, stoned and then beheaded. According to tradition, while Valentine waited in prison for his execution, he corresponded with those under his care by sending letters and love notes to his parishioners. It is also believed that while incarcerated, the Bishop fell in love with a young woman who visited him during his confinement. According to some sources, this was the blind daughter (whose name may have been Julia) of of Asterius, the jailer. It is said tht God enabled Valentine to miraculously restore the girl's sight. Popular belief indicates that Valentine's farewell message to his love contained a closing that has now transcended time: "From Your Valentine." The saint was executed on February 14 in either 269 A.D. or 270 A.D. In 270 A.D., Pope Julius I is said to have built a church near Ponte Mole in the saint's memory at a location once known as Porta Valentini and now called Porta del Popolo. The relic bones of this Saint Valentine, who may also have been a physician, are now housed within the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome.
valentine's, shmalentine's- have a wonderful day!
Camera: Rolleiflex 3.5B TLR Zenar 75mm f3.5 1954
Film: Ilford SFX 200 Black and White 120
Scanned by Walkens House of Film, Melbourne, Australia
The Rolleiflex TLR camera is exceptionally good for close shots, but I wanted to see how it would handle a landscape. An immediate issue in composition is the 6x6 square format. As you can see here there is a lot of negative space (though I would argue those clouds are an important element in the picture). Whereas I would definitely need an orange filter to bring out the definition in the clouds with 35mm, the medium format film handles this situation without difficulty. If you enlarge this photograph you'll even see a duck swimming in the North Esk River.
