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.

I like the glow too. I have noticed some pics look better on my ipad. I have a huge colour and light difference between the two it seems??

An iPad has a lot of light, and is usually HD, the pics look great.

my two fave types of lighting are natural evening twilight; both for pics and enjoyment.  sometimes it's blue and sometimes it's amber.  i especially like the amber.

i also like warm artificial light which i use for photographing rustic vintage stock.

i don't like flash photography either and rarely use it.  it darkens the background and lightens the subject

too much.  i find that when photographing stock for sale, it doesn't give a true representation of the colour 

of the item.  that's bound to lead to disappointment from the buyer.  it also highlights flaws and dust

beyond that of natural light and sight so again, does not accurately represent the item.

graffiti somewhere in fitzroy.  this was actually taken at night with a flash! 🙂

ok, i've found those pics i thought i deleted. 

this is the provincial hotel in fitzroy at night.  no flash so it has a warm glow to it which is what i was aiming for..

I love this thread. 

I am awestruck by the talent of the photographers on this board.
