Neon Vologda–2

over 4 years ago

Continuing the theme of neon graphics, I want to reveal compositional tricks and tricks of shooting. For example, I began to look for diversity, that is, my eye clung not only to puddles, but also to all possible surfaces that can reflect bright light spots. Curbs, stairs, covers from sewer manholes and even walls were used.

Another interesting nuance: many luminous signs in stores change color. Then it’s better to wait for suitable color combinations or make several different options.

In any case, something interesting will turn out.

The most abstract and artistic plots turned out in puddles close-up.

It is not in vain that I sometimes (very often) engage in graphic subjects: with the help of them I discover various new worlds. The neon world seemed mysterious and very attractive.

I would like to clarify that neon is just a generalized name for bright acid flowers in a series of such photographs. In fact, you should not find fault with this word. We all know very well that neon signs are almost rare used - everyone has long switched to LEDs.

And the word "neon" has come into use, and by associative habit people call everything that shines brightly and colorful.

The city at night contains many metaphysical secrets. The dim light of empty streets always evokes some special feelings and attracts to itself.

Any city in any country is transformed at night. It’s like some kind of curtain opens to another world.

In the afternoon, everything is simple and clear, no riddles.

I have always loved and will love the night. It scares me only in nature, and the night city on the contrary becomes closer and more understandable.

Night photography from the very beginning of my photographic journey attracted me the most. And now there are such tools that fully allow to realize almost all ideas.
