Finding the unusual in everyday life: Week 32 photos

In photography it’s often about finding an interesting perspective that, in the best case, tells a story. The things and scenes we encounter in everyday life are not usually the first to come to mind when it comes to a good photo. This makes it even more difficult to filter out an image from these scenes that has something special and doesn’t look like someone could have taken it. In this week’s images you’ll see the results of taking the everyday and turning it into an interesting shape.

with his picture You can only get there on foot Uncle Werner gives himself a little chuckle that turns the picture into a joke. The scene is minimally staged and focuses on the bicycle at the bottom of the picture. The writing on the building further down serves as an explanation of the idea behind the recording.

On the beach at Hiddensee

SonyAlpha380 recordings yield many dramatic elements On the beach at Hiddensee. The cloud cover and breaking waves are the focus. The dark rocks create contrast and dividing lines between the foreground and background. The photographer described the scene as a storm brewing near the shore.

Clicker3D says of its photo, “The picture shows two residential buildings in Hannover-Linden near Lichtenbergplatz. Here, the old and the new stand next to each other and form one entity.” 100 years. The composition of the image and the oblique perspective also have a background, as he adds: “The diagonal image design also does justice to the somewhat tilted side of the city, in line with my motto: Change the perspective – see differently.”

The contrast between the two architectural eras is very well shown and made even more interesting by the distorted perspective.

In Between by Saga

Gallery photographer Saga says of her photos, “The star is the wall, and as a street photographer you just have to shoot at the right time.” betweenWhich focuses on a mural created by artist Claudia Comte at the Novartis campus in Basel. The person is framed by two lines and seems to move with the vibration of the waves. The minimalist design of the artwork and the clothing matches each other perfectly. In addition, the black and white design draws attention to the contrast between the two colors.

lunch break

Wolfgang Görgen creates with his street photography lunch break A serene scene of a seemingly everyday moment. The swans passing by provide a nice contrast to the woman sitting on the bench who seems to be focusing on her cell phone. However, the birds continue to flit about without fear in search of the next meal. In black and white, this implementation makes the silhouettes very strong against the background of the clear water.

Yin and yang

,Yin and yang One of a small series of experimental black and white photographs that focus on reduced, partly abstract representations of patterns and structures. Such a task challenges both the photographer, because he has to think more than usual about perspective, details and cuts. But also the viewer, who must decode the encoded image – if he wishes. This recording was taken in September 2017 at Wilhelma, Germany’s only botanical-zoological garden in Stuttgart,” Joachim Kiener says about his recording.

The zebras scurrying one behind the other create the effect described by the photographer that you have to look twice to understand what exactly is being shown. He undoubtedly succeeded. A wonderfully concise composition.

Upload to the clouds

You almost feel small when you look at this Upload to the cloudswhich Martin Roop appears to have taken in an amusement park. The angle of view, the focal length of ten millimetres and the contrast between the many clouds create a perfectly captured moment. Here, too, the contrast between the light and dark areas of the image is emphasised by the black and white recording. This is achieved mainly through the already mentioned clouds and the tower, which directs the viewer’s gaze upwards. He wrote to us about the composition: “I took advantage of the opportunity, when the fair was not operational during the day, to place the 10mm wide-angle lens very close to the carousel support.”
