Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #164 'Turned Off'
The name of this art photograph is: 'Turned Off'
Clever people say that every cloud has a golden rim. Meaning, there are favourable times coming after each bad stretch in one's life. In this very case, every turned-off lamp has the sun behind it. The meaning is almost the same, except I added a bit more on to it. One should never lose hope, and especially not when it's the only thing giving us the strength to endure and push forward. Somewhere out there is always that radiant energy, with enough power to shine through, and shows our warm colours regardless of the circumstances.
The huge dark shape in the right side of the frame anchors the composition and defines it as heavy. I deliberately positioned the camera angle so that the sun would only insignificantly peek behind the light. This gives a charming touch and adds a value of the caught moment. The sun brings new hope in otherwise dark and quite scary looking, silhouetted surrounding appropriately complemented with the oval, just as dark, shape of the light stand.
The colour match between the dominant lemon yellow of the lamp's glass and the very light pink in the sky work in unison to fight the darkness and provide a way out from the gloom. And this is exactly what their intended purpose it. Everyone is a beacon of shining light, even when temporarily turned off. :)
If you look long enough at this photograph, you might remember its message in the time of need.
Enjoy!

Excellent photo ... I was recently in the city of Brest, there is a tradition where such lamps are lit by a special person every day ... This is happening on a special street, a very old street that strikes its pre-archite architecture .. Everyone sees in this photo something its own, but I described what I remembered right now and I am very happy with this memories and the fact that you gave me to enjoy them and your photo :)
Thank you, as always

@velimir perhaps there was a misunderstanding, you know that I always write good and sincere comments and never copy

My pleasure, you are very welcome!
Liked how u said, "Everyone is a beacon of shining light, even when temporarily turned off".
POETIC. Cool. I've looked at some of your other #PHOTOGRAPHY, & thought your Focus on light is noteworthy. I'm not a photographer, but I am into #Art .
So .. in your other POST, called "Seven" -- you spoke of "The shadow and light direction is important" ... and then I Found your Comment insightful -- that is, when u said:
"Lines go from the bottom left corner toward the top right adding an Uplifting feeling of positive progress. Unless one needs to convey some negative or blocking thought, this is quite an appropriate way to compose." ==> ☻☻ I hadn't considered (was unaware) that LINES traveling from the Bottom left to the Top right, could have this effect !
REALLY COOL EXPLANATION on your part - Thanx 4 the 2 Neat blog posts !!
===> PEEPS: In case u want to refer to the other post:

This is great art and photography @velimir, If only there was a crow in the lantern .. hmmmm.
But for this photo I really like it 😊😊😊😊
Sometimes when the door of happiness closes, another opens but often time we tend to look back on the closed door but we don't see the door that has being opened for us.It is true that we don't really know the value of what we got until we losses it but the thing is that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrived, try not to say goodbye if you still want to give it a try and never give up when you still think that you got the potential on moving forward. So the major key here is HOPE because love comes to those who still hope despite their previous experience.
Thanks to @velimir and less i forget, the face of the lamp looks like a human's face and i almost got scared at first sight LOL but the image of the lamp is really nice and beautiful, nice write up also @velimir.
Yes, I noticed the two eyes myself. Thought it was so subjective that no one else would notice. Thank you! :)
You are welcome @velimir 😊😊😊😊

Over all thanks for all👌👌👌👍👍
There are alot of these gloomy, melancholic scenarios, I like to call them Gothic. Especially in the dusk of day, even in the warmer seasons, they exist. And they are very hard to capture in photo. We see them diferent with our eyes, because we feel them, the camera doesn't. Not only did you managed to capture a "Goth" moment making for an amazing photo, but the insight you give,on how to do it, makes me think you could do over and over. lol. Hat's off to you sir.
Oh man, the goth moment. I love the idea. So true. How comes I missed that....? :D Thank you!
nice
