Spotted method. Part 2
All photographers strive to capture the physical or geometric features of an object in one way or another. Unusual bending of the arm, non-standard gestures, symmetrical reflections, shadow shapes, color combinations, silhouettes...
My approach is different: I also strive for physics and geometry of the object, but not for the particular, but for generality, for interaction with the environment of physics and geometry.
Every line, every squiggle, every section – everything is important, everything has its own meaning.
Everything around interacts with each other and influences each other.
And the more such objects in the frame, the better.
That's why I call this approach to shooting spotted.
It's still a street photography genre, but its philosophy is different.
I've always liked how the telephoto lens compresses space.
As it turned out later, it doesn't do that. And if you crop the central part of the frame taken with a normal focus, then there will be the same compressed perspective as on a telephoto lens.
It turns out that this is not a feature of the long focus, but the real properties of space.
Here's another interesting thought: any movement in space is proportional to time.
That is, in order for me to move to the other end of the street, I have to spend a few minutes on it.
And with the help of a telephoto lens, I zoom in on this space and see what's going on there.
So do I see the future or is it still the present?
Yes, I see distant objects and people who are in the present tense, but I am not there and in order for me to move there, I have to spend time.
This is a distant example of how we see the universe through a telescope: light from planets and galaxies reaches us for hundreds of thousands of years.
And if you bring something distant closer, but not so much...that is, to look through the same telephoto lens? Maybe physicists will answer my banal children's questions, but still I thought ...
