Negative Space Photography
View allAll Photos Tagged negativity,
Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.
Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Vandaag al het negatieve omgezet in het positieve en genoten van het mooie lente weer en lente bloeiers

Today all the negative turned into the positive and enjoyed the beautiful spring weather and spring bloomers
I have been experimenting with taking day shots and using Photoshop's "invert" feature to convert the shot to a negative image. Day then becomes night. This is essentially the same shot as "Adams Street" (Malta, Illinois) in my feed below. A gimmick in my opinion for sure but still interesting to play around with.
Crazy Tuesday Theme: Negative space
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
while hunting for another photo in my vast store of "stuff", I ran into the photo on the left. I don't know how, or when, or why, but I thought I'd to invert and see what was there. It's definitely me, I must have been working on making negatives at the time.
one of life's mysteries.
on the right is the inversion.
I tried searching on my stream, but it was quite a task. dunno whether I've used this photo before or not.
ah, I did find a version here from Sept 2016. I was working on oiled paper negatives.
**tonight I donated to Razom for Ukraine and World Central Kitchen.
please don't forget Ukraine. they still need food, clothing, and medical supplies.
NO MORE WAR! enough....
The Japanese concept of Ma has been described as “a pause in time”, an interval or emptiness in space. As a music teach once said "Leave space so the high notes can shine".
Ma is not the negative space we photographers utilize in our images, but an emptiness full of potential. It should be deliberate and of value, holding sustenance towards the entirety of the shot.
Western image making seems to suffer from "FTF" : Fill the Frame. where 'empty' zones are frowned upon.

I could have easily removed that vignette, but when I did the entire 'atmosphere' of this scene suffered...
the strangest thing about a hole is the edge.
If a hole is plugged, where is it?
And: and why are there no half holes ??
Another in my (unintended) series of storm damaged tree photos. This big guy has lost half his limbs, and now stands rather awkwardly, perhaps fearful of the next great storm. (Or am I just reading too much into the image?) Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.

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.
