Moscow Photo spring 2018 - Spring street photography

Moscow Photo spring takes in my archive first place by the number of shots. The reason is, it seems to me , that it is spring and the beginning of the year.

Winter in Moscow for the most part pretty dreary time – eternal Rain, but the spring is always brighter. Although, year on year is not necessary. This year the spring in Moscow began with sub-zero temperatures, snow and sun – a feeling, that the first 10 days of March nature decided to go through all the major landmarks of the winter, reminding us of the frosts, and on sunny days, and snowstorms, and of thaw. I.e, full winter kit.

But the tradition of a large number of spring shooting, I did not change, and the archive is filled with new photos of the town. You can see the materials on the site of the city with photos of a walk through the city. All this was done precisely in March. At the exit, I have a few more photo collections, I will publish soon.

Today we will focus on street photography. More precisely on spring street photography, and its features.

Although it would seem, Well, what sort of features – going, looking around and clicked the shutter. Well, to some extent, the way it is, if we are talking about the technical side of shooting. But street photography – it is primarily a mood, emotions, well, then Appliances. Spring time emotions. With this, probably, no one will argue. Everything starts to come to life and also improves mood. How did – survived the winter, and therefore everything else will survive. There, you see, and summer, and then leave ...........

These emotions and want to transfer in the spring photos. Moscow is easier to shoot in spring, than in the winter – streets free from snow, sun podtopilo ice and dry streets. People kind and not so much glances at the camera. Of course it is not necessary to become impudent, too, but spring always people are more relaxed.

Features, Features .... Basically, except emotional component shooting, There are technical aspects. Here, think, when it is best to take pictures of people – in sunny weather or cloudy. professional will tell, it is best to shoot in cloudy weather, when the sky is bright clouds. This cloudiness works, like a huge lens – get great shots without too harsh shadows and without Peresvetov. Lover can tell, it is better in the sun – Sun rays, glare, blue sky. And both will be right. Of course, street portraits turn out better with scattered, not too contrasting light. Blue sky – for street photography is not so important. After all, we do not remove the cityscape, and people on the street and the sky is very, very rarely is in the frame. Here are highlights and sharp transitions from light to shadow is added to the frame of the atmosphere and dynamics. by the way, street photography – it is often enough just black and white pictures, So that, blue sky say ........ But in contrast to street photography is welcome, a bright sun and city buildings create a great contrast.

Enough for today reasoning and move on to the first spring collection of street photos
