O barvah in radovednosti

(or About colors and curiosity) 

Vedno sem verjela v to, da mora človek v sebi vedno znova odkrivati otroškost. Pustiti barvam, da ga prevzamejo, teči po travnikih, se loviti z vetrom, risati preproste vzorce, prepevati... In predvsem biti radoveden. Barve, igra svetlobe in radovednost so se tokrat "naselile" vame preko majhnega fotoaparata, ki sem ga dobila za svoj 25. rojstni dan od dveh mojih dragih prijateljev (vam ga pokažem kmalu :)). Incognito je organiziral svojo prvo foto delavnico za t.i. "toy cameras" in jaz sem tam pomagala z nasveti in dokumentirala dogodek. Igrala sem se z lučmi, ambientalno svetlobo in flešem. Preizkušala fotoaparat in lahko rečem, da sem navdušena nad barvami ter ujetimi trenutki.

Digitalno fotografijo in njene možnosti imam resnično rada in uživam, ko delam z digitalnim fotoaparatom. Najlepši čar analogne fotografije pa najdem ravno v tem občutku radovednosti, v drugačnem načinu dela - v tem, da fotografiram drugače in se preko "igre" učim videti svetlobo na nov način. Vsekakor imam strašno srečo, da lahko uporabljam oboje. :)

V prihodnjih dneh bom pripravila še tips & tricks objavo za vse tiste, ki vas bolj podrobno zanima, kako priti do takšne fotografije. Do takrat pa: bodite radovedni! ;)

Eng: I have always believed that a person should continuously discover his/hers "childishness". To let the colors take him/her over, run on the meadows, catching the wind, draw simple structures, to sing... And above all to stay curious. The colors, the play of light and curiosity 'visited' me through a small camera that I got for my 25th birthday from two of my dear friends. (I will show it to you soon :)). Incognito has organized its first workshop for this so called "toy cameras" and I was there to help, advise and document the event. I played with lights, ambient light and flash. I tested my new camera and I can say that I am impressed by the colors and the moments that I captured.

I really like digital photography and its possibilities and enjoy a lot when I work with a digital camera. And I find the best charm of analog photography precisely in that sense of curiosity, in a different way of working - that I photograph differently and learn to see light in new ways through "games". I am certainly lucky that I can use both. :)

In the coming days I will prepare the Tips & Tricks post for all you who are interested in more detail how to get such photos. Until then: stay curious! ;)
