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.

Re: Weekly photo challenge. Theme is ABSTRACT

Not about 117. 

 

I think those round sushi looking things(with the orange borders) might be bales of cotton? 

If you look at the next photo, there is a machine, that looks like farming equipment. 

 

This thread(theme) is fun because not all of the pictures can be easily identified.

Re: Weekly photo challenge. Theme is ABSTRACT

cotton makes sense.

 

my other thought was bales of wool but they are smaller and squarer.

Woman Happy A tree trunk with holes in it that I used a photo-editing program to enhance. It was fun!

I feel stupid now for posting the foot picture. I mean, it's quite obviously a foot. Nothing abstract about it. It was too late for me to edit it out. Please just pretend you didn't see it! LOL. TIA.

The sushi rolls are raw cotton bales waiting to be ginned. They weigh about 2.2 tonne each
