Night views of Ustye

in CCS9 days ago

Just recently, I discovered a new frequency, a new world, a different vision and feeling of different places. This can be described as stockiness or photobankness. Now I will try to describe in detail what it is.

I already wrote once that before going to a place, I look for photos of this place in order to understand and imagine what it looks like.

And I almost always find one or two pictures, and everything else has nothing to do with the place I'm looking for.

It turns out that there are no pictures of unremarkable places in the public domain.

Ustye is definitely there, as it is the district center and there are many attractions here.

And so such a frequency opened up in me that I wanted to capture as many places as possible so that there would be views of them.

It feels like a kind of photo bank, the purpose of which is to have basic views of a place.

Generally speaking, I've been doing this for a long time, starting with documenting abandoned and residential villages and ending with night yards in suburban villages of the region.

But I didn't feel it as a separate frequency, although occasionally there were prerequisites for the emergence of a separate such photographic world.

This was clearly evident at the beginning of this year.

And when such a creative wave of capturing places has already formed, now I want to photograph not only the dugouts again, but also along the way take several basic views of the populated area in which these dugouts were.

Only these will no longer be night courtyards, but such types of places that you can understand what kind of place it is.

That is, there must be recognizable views or views that characterize this place.

For example, at the Ustye it is necessary to capture not only dominants and monuments in the form of monuments and churches, but also a river with boats, as river life is developed here.

This photo bank frequency has frames and conditions, which implies mandatory items: churches, houses, a central square or street, bridges, water bodies, and the main attraction.

The only thing that distinguishes this separate world from the real stock is night photography.

It is unlikely that real photo banks will readily accept views taken at night.

But my goal is not to shoot this for photo stocks, but to create my own personal archive with views of the places visited.
