Abstract Photography

Like abstract art, Abstract photography concentrates on shape, form, colour, pattern and texture. The viewer is often unable to see the whole object. The focus is often only a small part of it. Viewers of an abstract shot may only know the essence of the abstraction or understand it by what is implied. Normally the object or image will not be a literal view of the subject. The subject tends to come second to seeing…

  • Patterns.
  • Textures.
  • Angles.
  • Proximity (closeness and distance from the subject).
  • Crop (especially of segments or parts of the whole).
  • Colour variation.
  • Tonal variation.
  • Hard light rendering of the subject.
  • Soft light rendering of the subject.
  • Shape (2D).
  • Form (3D).
  • Curves.
  • Geometry.
  • Focus and depth of field.
  • Blur.
  • Expression of movement.

Thank you, I spotted the dandelions under the clothesline this afternoon. It was hard to take because the dog kept getting in the way and knocking them with his tail.

I just had a play in pixlr express with it

Pimpy, your shadow photo, I tried to take one of my shadow while smoking, my shadow was showing up against the side of the lounge but every photo I took was just the lounge..no shadow. It took me quite a while to figure out that it was because of the flash..Woman LOL

oh phew, I thought you were going to say you are a vampire or something sinister LOL

 

It was the shadow of the washing trolley that first caught my eye but because of the suns position I couldn't get a photo without my shadow. So then I played around with trying to make my shadow look like it was holding the trolley. I'm thinking now I should have cropped it to make it more interesting.

To insert an image, you click on the icon of the tree above (see the arrow in the image below) and a window will pop up which allows you to 'browse' for the image you wish to post, then once it appears in the window you click on 'insert image' with the parameters you prefer, and away you go. 🙂
