EMPTY Boats / PUSTE Łódki [ENG/PL]

A few words about EMPTINESS / Kilka słów o PUSTCE
🇬🇧 The theme of "EMPTINESS" had been running through my mind for days, yet for a long time, I couldn't come up with an idea for which photos to use in that context. So, I sat down during a spare moment and began browsing through my cloud storage. The first instance of EMPTINESS I encountered was the one in my own head, an inability to come up with anything at all. Eventually, however, I stumbled upon a very old photo that sparked a sudden moment of inspiration.
🇵🇱 Temat PUSTKI od kilku dni przewijał się w mojej głowie i długo nie potrafiłem znaleźć pomysłu, jakie zdjęcia mogę w tym kontekście wykorzystać. Usiadłem więc w wolnej chwili i zacząłem przeglądać moje zbiory w chmurze internetowej. Pierwszą PUSTKĄ na jaką natrafiłem, to ta w mojej głowie, która nie potrafiła nic wymyślić. W końcu jednak trafiłem na bardzo stare zdjęcie, dzięki któremu doznałem olśnienia.

🇬🇧 Whether bobbing on the water, moored to the shore, or heading out into open waters, boats of all kinds always catch my eye. Yet, I particularly love photographing them when they are EMPTY. Left to their own devices, drifting in solitude, standing as a testament to human activity on waters across the globe.
🇵🇱 Unoszące się na wodzie, przycumowane do brzegu, lub wypływające na otwarte wody, wszelkiego rodzaju łódki zawsze przyciągają moje spojrzenie. Szczególnie jednak lubię je fotografować, kiedy są PUSTE. Pozostawione samym sobie, dryfujące w samotności, będące świadectwem działalności człowieka na wodach całego świata

🇬🇧 I often come across them left on the shore rather than in the water. They draw my eye like a magnet. I like to frame them using a wide-angle lens, getting as close as possible. This approach allows their EMPTY interior space to fill a large part of the frame. Something seemingly small then appears much larger.
🇵🇱 Często spotykam je pozostawione na brzegu, a nie w wodzie. Przyciągają mój wzrok niczym magnes. Lubię je wtedy kadrować na szerokim kącie, zbliżając się do nich jak najbliżej. Taki zabieg pozwala wypełnić ich PUSTĄ, wewnętrzną przestrzenią sporą część kadru. Coś pozornie niewielkiego wydaje się wtedy być znacznie większe

🇬🇧 Boats like these often stir up reflections in me, though I can’t quite put my finger on why or describe the feeling exactly. Is it something about being close to nature, the blissful calm of the morning, and setting out into vast, empty waters to escape the everyday grind? It’s a question I ask myself, yet I’m voicing it here on #hive so it resonates more strongly, allowing me to ponder the subject more deeply and perhaps even get an answer from someone else.
🇵🇱 Takie łódki często wywołują u mnie refleksje, ale nie do końca potrafię odgadnąć dlaczego i opisać tego uczucia. Czy to coś związanego z przebywaniem na łonie natury, z błogim spokojem poranka i wypływanięciem w dalekie, PUSTE wody, gdzie można ucieć od codzienności? To pytanie do samego siebie, które jednak wypowiadam tutaj na #hive, żeby wybrzmiało głosniej i pozwoliło mi się głębiej zastanowić się nad tym tematem, oraz być może uzyskać odpowiedź od kogoś innego ;)

The first and last photos in this post sparked this series. It is one of my favorites—if not the best—of my long-exposure shots. It is certainly one I hold very dear. The lake and its shore were absolutely EMPTY at the time; there was no one there. Just me, nature, and EMPTY BOATS.
🇵🇱 Pierwsze i ostatnie zdjęcie w tym poście było wyzwalaczem tej serii. To jedno z moich ulubionych jeśli nie najlepsze typu długich ekspozycji. Na pewno jedno z tych, do których mam ogromny sentyment. Jezioro i jego brzeg były wtedy absolutnie PUSTE, nikogo tam nie było. Tylko ja, natura i PUSTE ŁÓDKI

What beautiful photos and a great reflection on emptiness... Just looking at your photos, it brought me some childhood memories and some forgotten emotions... My father had 2 boats, one on the river Danube, and the other one on the local lake near the town where we lived... Whether we would go to the Danube and anchor in the middle of the river, or go to the lake and do it early in the morning, we would usually be the ONLY ones on the water...
But, when we left home, boats would stay empty, just like in your photos... Waiting for their owners to come back the next day, and to start another adventure... Especially on the lakes, you could find boats spread all around the shore, without any order, no docks, just sunken boats almost in the middle of a forest...
Thanks for these memories!

Thank you very much for this comment and for the story you shared. What you wrote is very in harmony with the reflections that I myself have when I see similarly scattered boats on the shore of the lake. I also have many of them left anywhere - hidden in reeds or abandoned on the shore. There is something nostalgic and thought-provoking about it.
I'll also admit that I'm a little jealous of those moments spent with dad on a boat, in the middle of an empty lake or river. It must have been a truly unique experience.
