Thinking patterns

Things that bores me in photographs in general:

  • walking person along the wall
  • walking person anywhere
  • person in the tunnel
  • shadow of a photographer included in the frame
  • reflection of a photographers reflected from anywhere
  • self portraits
  • photographs of dogs
  • photo of a person's face
  • photo of a street with single person in it
  • photo of a couple in the park
  • photo of a couple on the beach
  • photo of the beach
  • photos of people in Haloween masks
  • photo of a building
  • photo of a tree
  • photo of the people on the escalator
  • photos of sellers on Christmas markets
  • silhouettes of people
  • photo of a an empty road in the landscape
  • photo of the people sitting in the bus/train/metro/tram
  • photo of the people waiting for the bus/train/metro/tram
  • photo of the person talking on the phone
  • photo of the person checking the phone
  • photo of the person talking on the phone with reflected light in the face at night
  • photos of peoples legs and sidewalk
  • photos from markets
  • photos of cars (any cars)
  • photos made recently looking like made 50 years ago
  • photos from funfairs
  • photos of store fronts
  • reflections in store fronts
  • photos of dummies
  • photos of blurred moving tram with people
  • photos of a person with camera taking pictures
  • photos of street musicians/entertainers
  • including advertisement in the background to bring an extra meaning to the street photo
  • witty juxtas in street photos
  • photos with crossing and person in stripped sweater in front
  • photos of person and flying pigeons around
  • ok ok...

This list has no end. In general I wanted to say, it is about stereotype way of thinking. Thinking in patterns.

It is critique in general. Aims to myself as well.

      Tak jsem rád že v tom nejsem sám... :)
      Ale je dobře že si to člověk aspoň uvědomí a třeba ho to i nějak nasměřuje....

Moved from Wordpress

I had moved my blog from WP to Blogger. I will try to make the content stand alone from my social media posts, where I just post photos on daily basis. So this is not supposed to be another place where I copy the content. Also, I will try to move my older blog posts from WP. Trying to export and import the content. Not successful so far.

Personal work

Image
Yesterday I managed to get outside at around 3 pm. So I had about 60 minutes till dark. I made a couple of shots with fast shutter speed (1/250). But when it was getting darker, I thought I will not fight with lack of light, but I will use it to capture the mood of the street life during the dusk. To interpret my mood of place and time of this cold December afternoon. So, I switched from Auto Iso (which is my default setting) to Iso 100. Lowest value on my Olympus. I had set shutter speed to a 0,5 a second or so. And than I entered the world of.... blur, movements and lights... I even tried some panning and some photos looked really good on the display. I am looking forward to see this set processed. Oh well, after I eventually step forward to process photos from autumn. I like what you said this week. That our photos are like selfies of ourselves. It is important thing to be aware of.  Hopefully, other people will find my selfies interesting. Hopefully, I will look good on my ...

My day wasn't wasted

This is written on the train on the way from Prague to Ostrava yesterday evening. Just a quick one day trip. Duties mostly. But I stole some moments for myself and my camera. I always do. I made some shots on train station in Ostrava. 5 AM. Minus 7 C. Especially happy for one shot made through the dirty glass window of a woman. Than a shot during 3 hours ride on the train of the frozen landscape blurred in the move. Blurred intentionally. Happy with some of them, too. Arrival at Prague main train station. Busy place. Fast and crowded. It always stinks bad in front of the train station. But this morning it was worst smell I can ever remember from there. This spot is popular among homeless people and all kinds of other people. I was happy to make some snaps and I especially recall one shot of a homeless woman selling a magazine Novy Prostor (something like New Space), which is kind of a social program to include homeless people so they can participate in life and earn some money. I...
