Street Style
As one of the most popular genres, street photography comes in many different styles or sub-genres, so I thought it would be interesting to look at my own preferred techniques for capturing life on the streets.
I'll begin this short series with what I will call Street: Shadows and Light.
#photography #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhite #shadows #light
In a shot taken from a high angle, five people are cast into silhouette by the bright sunlight behind them as they walk in formation along a broad city street, the shadows of the two people in front and the three behind reveal that the sun is low and it is late in the afternoon.
A woman wearing sunglasses walks along a city street, her face is caught in the light while the rest of her body is in shadow. On the wall of the stone building she is walking past are the shadows of the trees which line the street.
A person is captured in silhouette against a large, oval-shaped and ornately-patterned window which is letting in just enough light to reveal a series of four lamps hanging from the ceiling, and causing the ancient, polished stone floor tiles to glow and reveal the person's blurred shadow.
The face of a man wearing a cap is caught in a tiny shaft of light as he emerges from a building which is in dark shadows, apart from a short flight of stone steps which are caught in a wider, angled beam of bright sunlight falling on a diagonal toward the man.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop 🛑 for #monochromemonday
Guess who uploaded the wrong version of this before, again, because they are not capable of any form of organization? 🥲
I know it's not completely monochrome because of the red sign - but I like the little pop of red and I feel that I must keep it! 😂✨

Just eight days ago, I gave a popular science talk at @mpi_grav about colorful phenomena in the sky, and now – boom!
Just minutes ago, there were beautiful iridescent clouds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_iridescence) here, north of Hanover, Germany.
Here, light is diffracted by tiny droplets in the clouds, creating these typical mother-of-pearl colors.

Thin clouds in a pale blue sky. The edges of the clouds shimmer in mother-of-pearl colors.

Alternate shot
Don’t look back in anger
Sometimes life is hard and we have to overcome nerve-racking situations. But never look back in anger, you will find some light even behind you.

Catching some light.
With November my photos start to get darker and more gloomy, which I don't really like. So, using a short sunny spell to catch some sunlight.

To everyone celebrating, we wish you a you a happy and bright Diwali or Deepavali - especially to our dev team who are observing the holiday today!
If you're interested in learning more about Diwali and the full story behind light defeating darkness, we recommend checking out the guide below. It may have been developed for children, but it's a very good starting point...

Please share: Our Max Planck Institute recently left X and is present here on Mastodon. Give them a follow! Beautiful pictures from the science of light!
