Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #143 'The Second Perception'

in art •  7 years ago 

The name of this art photograph is: 'The Second Perception'


Back to the basics of 'real' photography. :)

This photograph is about travelling. I believe it changes one's perception and therefore I find so much value in active travel. Did you notice when on the move, life becomes more vibrant, more dynamic? I think this phenomenon is closely connected to our mind interpreting the moving scenery received from the sense of sight. Did you ever travel and felt like you are doing nothing? I didn't. Not even when I was really doing nothing apart from sitting and travelling. :) This is the idea behind this photograph.

Black and white stylization with just the right amount of contrast brings a feeling of a long-distance travel to me. The reflection in the window brings up that second perspective, the one of travelling. Which one is the first, then? Well... The one has when sitting at home, of course. These are the two opposing perspectives. On top of the two perspectives within the meaning, we also have a very strong linear perspective in form. Try finding the vantage point somewhere in the top right quadrant, a tad above the blonde head.

Notice how I accentuated the second perspective by giving it four times more space than the other, the static one! But, the white elbow leaning on the window sill is a very important element if not the key to the full meaning - for a life to be complete, you got to balance your perspectives.

Enjoy! :)

Wonderful photography. Thanks for sharing. Keep up your nice work.

Oh. Cool photo. Thanks for your sharing.

Did you took this photo from the future?
It's an incredible photo!

Amazing picture!

awesome photo ;)

The arrangement of the piece is very... Vaginal! I love it. Perhaps we could say something profound about how reality is purely reflected in Woman? (or not!) ;3 Good work as always man.

omg...I didnt see or plan that element at all but I can see it now rofl right on the edge of the two perspectives :D hahahha... well done man!

artistic photo..... great post

Thumbs up. Mr Story teller with pics. Who does it better than you? No one. Do you intentionally take these pics with the aim of getting such perspectives? The title "real" says it all. You are really good. My joy will be complete when you finally start submitting your photography for Awards and nominations.
At the first look, all i could notice was the elbow and the blonde, but after you described the perspectives and how everything is placed, my eyes were opened.

Mix reflections on glass with information visible through glass. Some of my favourite photographs of reflections are those that successfully mix reflected images with details in the scene that are not. Just like you did here, if you shoot through a window of a car say, then you can comprise an image of reflected images behind you, as well as details inside the bus and even things through the opposite window of the car. With patience, random juxtapositions can develop to create intricate and sometimes surreal compositions and you interpreted most of them well here.
Great description there. The blonde lady is she the woman :) because this is the first time i am seeing you in a car, its mostly a motorbike series.
Have a great one @velimir

:)
A wise old guy once told me a very truth: "We must learn how to look at things, especially at art, the same way we learn to read and write." I didn't take much heed of his words until much later on. Now I am dead sure he was right!

Nice. Glad you took the advice. See where you are now

good blogging and nice picture

This is so psychedelic in a way. You question what you see at first, trying to find the static point where you can rest your eyes, but it moves so quickly towards the next part of the picture. This is also an awesome representation of change. (I think one can relate change and travel with each other. Are we not travellers of this planet, but we travel via the change we undergo.) Great photograph! :) Thank you for sharing.

oh a very nice insight! Thank you!

It is true, most of us have heard stories about treasures, some have searched for them, maybe they have found them, and maybe not, but in my opinion, the real treasure is the life of the human being, the stages he lived, the things he experienced, the places he visited and the people he met. That is the true treasure which its first key can be contained through exploring the world.

yes :)

The black and white contrast induces me in a feeling of deep thinking.
Think about this : '' whats in the left it' s in the right''.
It is just like a mirror of my soul. What i have inside is that i have outside.
This masterpiece tells me about who we truely should be .
It is about traveling into you.
Thanks for making my evening like a peaceful sea.

thank you for enjoying it! :)

Very impressive and mandala-like travel picture dear velimir! :)
I used to have a long-distance relationship with my husband for over 4 years and I used to travel about 1000 km every few weeks to see him. I really enjoyed taking the train and watching out of the widow and just feel alive and dream! It's truely a very vivid, exciting and beautiful experience to travel. I am always in a kind of "child who discovers new worlds"-mode when I travel. I just can't do and feel nothing while traveling. Your picture represents my feeling of the everydays life passing by while I am super happy and excited to travel and see my great love again so beautiful! This reminded me of very good times, thank you! :)
Have a good time! :) Upvoted and resteemed! :) Very good job!

This is such a beautiful story. :) Thank you for sharing and so glad I made you flow into nice memories! Cheers!

Thank you for your kind reply dear @velimir! :)
Have a great day! Cheers :)

Wow!!! This is really a beautiful art...I really need to learn and apply this in my graphiscs work...so how did you start drawing because I need inspirations to start drawing too because am inspired already by this beautiful art work thanks for the nice job... Nice one dearie...sure upvotes for you

hm if i noticed that you are bot-commenting me before I upped you, I d flag you instead. keep your up and don't come back here, unless you want a flag.

Well the photo and what you wrote got me thinking.

I think the "secret" in life is always keep moving on, being stuck in one moment or point isn't positive. How can you grow any kind of perspective if you stay in one place or moment?

I couldn't agree more with this.

Traveling is good for the soul :)

I agree, people often times think they are stuck in a certain situation, although there is always room for movement and change! ☺

yes, right on! :)

I wonder how much strong this photograph got after making it Black and white :) Now you really can see your message in it. ✉ I wonder how the color varient would have looked, I think less powerfull. Love what you said about time feeling so much more dynamic when out and about. We as humans are weird creatures. Our preception of time is proof of that. 💥

It was taken black and white! I ve never seen it in colour. :)

For me Black and White pictures leave more room for imagination to fill in the story. Great choice to shoot it in BW 🤔 ! :)

@velimir - I do agree that when on the move, life becomes more vibrant, and more dynamic. The way you interpreted the photo was excellent!

Thank you so much, this can really help a lot of people out there... May be it's time for me to learn photography this can help me a lot....

Great post, interesting work :-)

Me costó descifrar que era la fotografía pero pude percibir que viajabas en bus.

I love how it feels like something abstract...but from the real world. For me photography must be without editing...then it turns to digital art.

Fantastic art

Really very nice. You are just creative.
Best of luck

I really like the deep thoughts and feeling this photographs gives. Because of the movement, you get the idea that life is never standing still, you're always moving forward, especially when travelling. You can also see it as a more mysterious shot, moving to somewhere, but what would be the destination? I also like the fact of getting the elbow in your image without more details of the passenger. Just simply mysterious, and the b&w reinforces those things even more. :) Great work!

Nice bus travelling pic!

AWESOME JOB¡¡
