••minimalist sea/land/cityscape••

[Clare Gadsby]

thank you so much to catherine @gozoinklings for setting up this new minimalist challenge with revolving themes. i was thrilled to win the urban round - thanks to anyone who voted for me! i must say i have always been a fan of minimalist photography, but have been unconfident and uncertain as to how to do it, so i shall enjoy seeing your entries for this round and learning some more


here are catherine's initial instructions for the challenge:

---
Many definitions & examples of minimalist photography out there to consider. I offer you this as a guideline: Minimalism is indeed the art of less. As a life philosophy, minimalists focus on a few essential elements of life and cast unnecessary things aside. Same pretty much goes for this photography style. Keep effects and processing to a minimum also :o)

To narrow down the entries for each challenge, we'll have 5 themes and repeat them in cycles.

mini-urban details (doors, windows, building details, bridges, stairs furnishing etc..)
mini-sea/land/cityscape
mini-street
mini-texture/form
mini-light/shadow

(The winner of this challenge will then start the 'mini-scape1', the winner of that will start 'mini-street1', next will be 'mini-textform1' then 'mini-lightshadow1' and then on with 'mini-urban2')

so ... round two is sea/land/cityscape. it begins today and will end at midnight bst on tuesday 29 may. i'll then post a shortlist of finalists and, as always, everyone will have a chance to vote ...

tag your images mini-scape1

if you also post to this thread, it will keep it active. you might also share any definitions you find about minimalism, and general thoughts about what qualifies and what doesn't, and how you went about composing your image ...

have fun and i look forward enormously to seeing your minimalist interpretations

@pistache Hiya, I am not sure if this has too much in to be a minimalist shot, but I'm trying it anyway! I think of minimalist as sparse for details but the details that are on there matter. Not sure if that is right technically though!
