Moments Of Life

in Photography Lovers10 months ago

Today I'm going to show you the rest of the photos I photographed at the photo exhibition earlier this week. I see a few of you liked the photos I posted yesterday, so I trust you'll like these ones too as most of them are very interesting and exceptional if I can say that.

At first it may seem like a winter photo, due to the dominant white, but it's not. It's a chapel (most likely) at a top of a hill flanked by two old trees. For me, it symbolizes tranquility and shows the time has stopped. It's a lovely scene.

Another lovely photo, but for different reasons. I can have a somewhat similar view, if I go to the far end of my dad's garden, but that view is not this beautiful. Those clouds and the fog adds a lot to the beauty of the photo. What I need to mention here as well, is the church's tower. These church towers are almost always the highest in every village and this has somewhat a religious significance as well. It shows how powerful religion used to be. Yes, it's past tense, because it's not anymore. These days only the elders are religious and go to church on a regular bases. The photo has a dramatic tone, so when I'm looking at it, I'm glad I'm inside and not out in that weather.

This photo with the church alone would have been fantastic, let alone with the animals. Respecting the rule of third, till the animals came in :) I love that pale tone a lot.

I love and miss these snowy scenes. Unfortunately, these scenes are becoming a rarity. We only had snow a couple of times this winter and never enough to cover everything. So if I want to capture such lovely scenes, I have to go higher, up in the mountains.

No, this is not pollution like you see in India and what other countries are there, where you can't breathe even wearing a mask. We don't have that level of pollution. This is fog, paired with a lovely orange light, which is quite rare to be honest, or I don't know where to find it.

This is where things start to get interesting. @dimascastillo90, what are the chances to capture such a scene? 😁 The two kids jumping on the trampoline, their happy faces alone is enough for a very good photo and the plane is a bonus.

What title would you give to this photo? I'd call it Happiness. The same two boys having fun with the dog. Sometimes you don't need much to be happy and their happiness is genuine. These kids have not been taught to fake a smile for the sake of a photo, which usually ends up on one of the social media platforms, for the whole world to see, because that's the trend. I can really appreciate their happiness.

This photo is a valuable one and will be even more valuable in a decade or two. The old man is cutting a wooden wheel, manually. First of all, these days all the wheels are rubber now, no one uses these wooden wheels, unless for demonstrative purposes. Secondly, manual woodwork is also on it's way of disappearance, most of the process is now done by machines, this is why this photo is precious. With the generation the old man represents, this type of work is going to disappear as well.

Unfortunately the light takes away a little from the value of the photo, but it's a lovely monochrome otherwise.

20240116_114431a.jpg

This was an excellent shot but due to the position of the light, this was the best I could do. The photo was taken through a tulip shaped hole, most likely an element of the gate, capturing people participating in a village event. I love this type of photography and most likely it'd be nice to pay attention to it in the future, if opportunity knocks on my door.

20240116_114545a.jpg

Reminds me of the stalactite cave I visited to a few years ago. Unfortunately taking photos was forbidden, and I have no photos of the actual cave, which is a shame as it was a lovely one.

20240116_114635a.jpg

I left this amazing photo at the end, not because it's less important than the others, but because it has a lot to say. First of all, it's a mystery how the photographer could took this shot. The only explanation is that the oven had two doors, or one of the bricks was removed. You can't place the camera inside as at that temperature, while there was still ember burning, you risk to damage it.

So this is how bread was and maybe still is made in some of the villages. Bread meant life for them and for quite many, bread was the only food they had, back in those tough days that came after the war.

My dream is to try out bread baking one day, in a real oven, like this one. My grandmother had one, but that's huge, you have to burn a lot of wood to heat it out properly. So hopefully one nice day I can have access to one and try to bake a nice bread, with crispy crust.

I hope you have a favorite this time too. There are photos here for every taste. You know the drill, let me know in a comment :)

For this collection I will be very direct, personally this photo is the best, I was captivated by the happiness of these children and I would also title it with the name you have given it: Happiness ❤️

My second favorite is definitely the one with the trampoline that also expresses the same feeling and that airplane gave a very special touch to the image. I think for that photo the photographer had to have used a lens smaller than 18mm, an angular, I could be almost sure.

My third favorite is the one of the oven. I have stayed for minutes thinking about the possibility of that photo, of the location of the camera, after passing to see what you wrote we agree 😍😅 because I can't find another explanation.

You picked the best ones I believe, so congratulations my friend. Those are all excellent and I'm glad you like the one with the oven. I think we can all learn from these photos. Sometimes it can give you an idea to chase and hopefully one nice day we're going to have similar photos ourselves 😉

Thank you very much for the lovely comment, I really appreciate how you picked your favorites and explained why you like each.

Hugs and kisses to your model and have a nice day my friend 😘🤗

Excellent photos, the first ones because of the fog that is always so interesting in photography, and the others, the one of the children and the woman baking for example, because of the change of point of view. This is something really beautiful in this art, to find new ways of looking and not at the level of our eyes as we are used to.
Most people take pictures standing up even of children... the one who knows a bit more bends down and puts himself at their level, like with pets.
I saw that you want to see these scenes and take pictures like that... but you know what, one of the coolest things about this is that when you see such good work in your mind it stays that idea, in your subconscious and when you go to take pictures you will surely do things like that.
Whenever I'm asked about this topic of how to learn how to take pictures, I tell them that by looking at pictures of the masters.
And well, don't be ashamed and lie down on the floor to take a picture even if people see you and think you are crazy hahahahaha....

Lol, you should see me taking photos. I also like to explore every angle and sometimes I get down on my knees to get the angle I want. This may seem strange to the bystanders.

You're right, the reason I like to go to these photo exhibitions is to learn new techniques and to give me ideas. Over the years I got a lot of comments and it seems I'm not the only one who can learn from these photos as our fellow photographers like them too.

There will be more, so stay tuned 😉

👌

Your last photo (of the oven) is really amazing! Yes, maybe you are right with the oven having two doors...or maybe one of the bricks was removed... Or could there be another way? I can guarantee you I'm going to thinking about this one for quite some time...LOL!

That oven photo is my favorite too for several reasons and I hope I can find an explanation on how it was done 🙂

One can speculate...but yes, it would be very interesting to find the real explanation...😅!

Great photos again! I particularly like the first shot and "tranquility" would be a good title I agree. The lady baking bread is also exceptional. In Vermont, pizza made in wood-fired ovens is quite popular. In fact my son has worked an outdoor wood-fired oven plus making the pizza dough and prepping all the toppings. Sometimes the old ways come back into fashion 🙂

Wood-fired oven is much better than the others as it gives the food a different flavor. My dream is to have one or have access to one, one nice day. But I don't know if I will be able to take such a photo 🤔

I really liked the photos and the meaning you gave to many of them is what I would think too.

I'm really glad you liked them. It was a nice exhibition for sure.

I loved every photo from this exhibit, a lot of well kept historical memories as time just keeps rolling on. The kids and dog is way too adorable, the really did look happy.

My mind was blown on the bread lady, was there two sides to the brick oven? Wouldn't he camera melt? How? It has a really nice composition tho. Creative perspective.

The kids and the dog is a precious one, especially fot the expression on the kid's face. You don't capture that every day.

The oven photo is a mystery, there were either two doors, which is rare to be honest, or a brick was removed. I don't see any other explanation for that.

I don't know brick ovens but like you said, there had to be a second open end some place. It's still a very unique perspective and creative. Incredible what the mind of a person can see out of simple things.

What title would you give to this photo? I'd call it Happiness. The same two boys having fun with the dog. Sometimes you don't need much to be happy and their happiness is genuine. These kids have not been taught to fake a smile for the sake of a photo,

This just reminded me of yesterday photos about the old village People's smile. And today again we are still on giving out a genuine smile. Yeah, it is very hard to see such genuine smile nowadays. I had say it is expensive because now, everyone is faking it for the sake of the camera.

Yes, for quite many, posing to impress others has become a lifestyle. Not good.

Wao!!! Extraordinario!!!

It is indeed.

An excellent photographic collection, but without a doubt the ones of the children are a spectacle: the facial expressions come to the lens at the right moment, it seems as if they were waiting for it.

Children are the most original, almost always. At least those who are not taught to be fake. I don't think they were waiting for the camera.

The magic of children is that everything comes from their hearts, they are natural beings, that's why their photos are always so beautiful. "They look like they are expecting it" is just a nice expression to accentuate how perfect the result is. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful post 🥰.

Excelentes foto, las de los niños me encantaron y la última, del horno está increíble!!

graacias por compartir!

Looks like the children are the winner today, everyone loves them.
