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.

can you tell us how the effect in pic 24 was achieved?

Re: Weekly photo challenge. Theme is ABSTRACT

Yes. 

 

The picture was taken at the world series baseball game last year. Our team had won a game, and the video screen was showing the team celebrating. I took a few shots of the video screen. That is how the picture turned out. 

 

I went to a game two days ago, and the person sitting next to me is a professional photographer. He said that my camera was probably set at a slow speed, and that is why it turned out that way. 

 

Here is another taken at the same time.

Re: Weekly photo challenge. Theme is ABSTRACT

the mesh in pic 165 makes the whole thing look like a needlepoint tapestry.

You are right about that mesh photo.That is exactly what I thought it was, until you pointed it out.
