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.

They are a little bit large, solutions.  You can change the size when you upload them here so that no scrolling is necessary.  Love the colour!  Goes well with the fruit bowl.

Re: Weekly photo challenge. Theme is ABSTRACT

No, just a laptop.  You can make them smaller when you upload.  You have a choice of full, large medium and small.

Click on image size and it will give you other options.
