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.

My haphazard garden sculpture. Cast iron doodads I did not want, but could not throw out. The snails treat it as their own highrise.

also taken at nfs...

 

this is the original untouched pic of a meshed grate with metal junk and dim lighting in the background.  i was standing on spaced floorboards with the shot taken looking down at my feet.

below is the same pic as above, but the background blacked out and floorboards cropped.  now it looks like travelling through a tunnel.

below is the same pic again, with background blacked out, floorboards cropped and pic rotated. looks like looking at a fence taking the pic from the side...

 

rotated looks like grate fence.jpg

 

if rotated yet again it looks like a high-rise building.
