One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.- C.G.Jung, The Philosophical Tree” (1945).
One of my photography collections, entitled “Light and Shadow”, is rather small and I have only shared one image here, actually, my fist blog post.
Spanning from 2018 and despite the fact that I like taking these types of photos, I have very few of them. This is not surprising since these images are more easily found in an urban environment, whereas I usually go out for photography in nature.
The other day, however, I decided to buy a dedicated lens for my “toy camera”, the Nikon Z50 mirrorless, and on the way back from the store I stopped at Sacramento’s Capital Mall to test it, since I could not wait the 20 min drive home to do so.
The lens, Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8, is surprisingly sharp. I took several pictures of flowers and other botanicals and was very pleased with them. On my way back to the car I saw this building.
The symmetrical lines called my attention, and the light was just right.
This is my second architectural photography post, the first one was a photograph of Fort Point.
Location: Capital East Complex, Sacramento, California, USA;
Equipment: Nikon Z50, Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8;
Settings: f/14, 1/125s, ISO 200;
Tips: Look for sunny days, early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the shadows are long. Weekends and early morning are best to avoid people.
It is all about the light
