Wave photography

The sea, the waves have always inspired writers like Ernest Hemingway who wrote his famous book "The Old Man and the Sea. " Poets have always been attracted to the sea. For his calm or storm. His heroes have left the sea like Ulysses or have sailed with their boats and marine depths have covered. We admire in the film. Also photographers have been fascinated by the beauty of the sea and waves.


Some examples of wonderful shots.

Share your thoughts with me. Contemplate his greatness
 
"The wave is the main subject. There may or may not be a human presence in the image, but if there is, the presence will only be used for scale."

Flowers and Birds, Chinese Gongbi Paintings by Zou Chuan An

Flower-and-Bird Painting :


Bird-and-flower painting is a kind of Chinese painting named after its subject matter. Normally, most bird-and-flower paintings belong to the scholar-artist style of Chinese painting.



According to Chinese tradition, bird-and-flower painting covers "flowers, birds, fish, and insects. It can thus deal with a wide range of natural topics, including flowers (plants), fish, insects, birds, pets (dogs, cats) etc.



Chinese Gongbi Painting : Chinese Traditional Painting with Meticulous Detail



Gongbi Paintings, literally "detailed strokes", are paintings characterized by fine brushwork. Gongbi is a technique in Chinese painting. The name is from the Chinese Gong chin meaning tidy (meticulous brush technique). The technique uses highly detailed brushstrokes that delimits details very precisely and without independent or expressive variation.


It is often highly coloured and usually depicts figural or narrative subjects. In contrast with Freehand Brush-work Paintings, they focused a lot on details. Classical examples of this school are Imperial-court paintings of the Ming Dynasty, Qiu Ying's figure paintings of the Ming Dynasty and Shen Quan's Flowers and Birds of the Qing Dynasty.

Optical Illusion ART

An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a percept that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, tilt, color, movement), and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences. They can also be known as "mind games".
