Przemyslaw Ziemacki is a nature photographer and journalist from Klodzko, Poland. He takes panorama in addition to wildlife and particulars images. He works primarily in his dwelling space but additionally has traveled round Europe, particularly to take images across the Baltic Sea. Three of his images initiatives – “Evening”, “Seagulls at twilight” and “Quanta of rose and snow” – incorporate synthetic gentle in nature images.
Full Moon
Panorama and our closest celestial physique – images paths main via cultural that means and Cartesian geometry.
Moon Moonrise
There was a moon, and there was a mountain. The mountain had shut relations with the Moon. Significantly with the Full Moon that visited her frequently and hung over her prime for some time. When the Moon was supposed to look, the sky bought stunning navy blue. The Moon was at all times on time, and the mountain was at all times on place. The Moon was not solely shiny but additionally preceded and adopted by gentle. She was darkish. As soon as simply darkish, as soon as true strong black. They each have been no-hurry varieties. Even when issues went fairly quick from one viewpoint, they slowed down from the opposite. When rising, the Moon appeared to climb over her hillside like a degree going alongside a chart of a math perform. The mountain symbolised the Earth’s panorama. The panorama is lowered to a single type. The Moon symbolised a comer. One factor is fixed, and the opposite one – is continually on the way in which. One form that dominates regionally, and the second – is within the Universe. Each are almost excellent. A robust connection with out a contact. When collectively, they grew to become a narrative. When alone, every of them was a promise of the story. So far as their relations lasted…
Easy Panorama With The Moon
That is how I noticed the Moon in my dwelling panorama between 2016 and 2019. The mountain is known as Ptasznik (the phrase is troublesome to translate, however it comes from the Polish phrase “ptak” which implies a chook; Germans used to name her Vogelberg, which implies a chook mountain).
“Full Moon” is impressed by many well-known cultural meanings of our world and our closest celestial physique, in addition to it’s a sort of geometry-play. I needed to create a common story positioned in my native panorama and to suggest a symbolic and minimalistic model of conventional panorama images.
She is certainly one of these very attribute triangle-shaped peaks, so regardless of of being fairly low (717 meters above sea stage), I’ve seen her as a properly consultant for all of the mountains. The title of my venture is “Full Moon”. It has seven pictures, and I imagine it is not going to be extra. “Full Moon” is impressed by many well-known cultural meanings of our world and our closest celestial physique, in addition to it’s a sort of geometry-play. I needed to create a common story positioned in my native panorama and to suggest a symbolic and minimalistic model of conventional panorama images.
The photograph titled “Easy panorama with the Moon” is an antipostcard for me. A typical panorama postcard consists in accordance with the rule of thirds and presents fairly vibrant panorama, together with many eye-attractive objects. Usually the factor aligned with one of many robust factors is the Solar at sundown. Postcards are like dishes in a restaurant the place all the things – steak, chips and salad – appears tasty and has its place on a plate and stimulates joyful emotions. My photograph can also be composed in such a fashion, however all the things else is in opposition: the colors are just a few, the panorama is lowered to a single easy form, and there’s the Moon as an alternative of the Solar. I don’t suppose it’s unhappy and so forth., however it isn’t joyful as properly. The opposite pictures within the venture are stored on this conference nonetheless, main surreal results seem. This sequence is put so as like most novels with an introduction (“In the meantime”), motion arrange (“Moonrise”), a culminating section (“Ptasznik and the Moon”, “Easy panorama with the Moon”, “Moon means”) and the tip (the pictures haven’t been titled but). It’s my solely sequence during which chronology performs an important position.

Full Moon, No Title
Semicirlcles
My second lunar venture is called “Semicircles” and it could possibly be described as an evolution of “Full Moon” nonetheless, it has appeared in my thoughts partly due to nature safety issues. The best mountain I can see from my city is “Śnieżnik” (the phrase can also be troublesome to translate, it comes from the Polish phrase “śnieg” which implies snow; Germans used to name her Schneeberg, which implies a snowy mountain). There are not any bushes on the highest of her which is hundred p.c pure factor (1425 meters above sea stage and extreme microclimate). Śnieżnik has a phenomenal look, particularly in early spring when the forest below the highest is seen from a distance as blue or black, and there’s nonetheless snow on the best half. No surprise this mountain grew to become a coronary heart of a panorama park. But it surely doesn’t imply she is properly protected.

Hill
Dome
A number of years in the past, the native authorities determined to destroy this pure panorama by constructing a view tower (sadly, it has been performed but). After I heard that horrible information, I needed to have fun the Śnieżnik’s pure form in some particular means. I used to be questioning what was the important thing characteristic of her, and the reply was a semicircle-like form, emphasised by the bald prime. That’s how I made a decision to place the mountain and the Moon in a primary quarter one under the opposite.

The photograph is titled “Hill”. The venture consists of three pictures. All of them have the identical foundation of evaluating the Moon within the first or final section with some one other semicircle or oval pure object. The opposite two pictures have been taken within the Stolowe Mountains Nationwide Park, that’s in my neighbourhood too. I’ve an concept to take the fourth photograph, and I’m nonetheless ready for the required climate circumstances.
The Moon, although typically seen within the daytime, is strongly linked with night time, so additionally religious and mystic issues. I don’t really feel that mysticism dominates my images, however it’s current there for certain. One of many frequent lunar ideas from mysterious tales is an previous forest to be crossed by a major character on a moonlit night time (typically, doing one thing at moonlit is often a magical expertise). I’ve a standing alone photograph which makes use of this motive. It’s titled “Scary forest”, and it was taken on a peat bathroom – one of the vital nature preserves in my neighbourhood – the place withered bushes are part of nature panorama. Actually, aside from the sky, there are solely the relict bushes and the Moon so this body is hundred p.c magic.

Standing alone, postcard for Lynch
As an epilogue, I’ve a photograph which I’ve taken being impressed by David Lynch’s movies, “Twin Peaks” – in all probability my favorite sequence – particularly. This photograph is titled “A postcard for Lynch”. His movies – and even the primary season of “Twin Peaks” alone – have so wealthy symbolism that could be the best choice is to not write right here about it. Simply need you to know I miss no owl needed to sit down in entrance of my digicam. So there’s area for a greater postcard…
