Salon 263 - Abstract

[Ian]

This is the 263rd Digital Photography Now Salon and this time the theme is 'Abstract'.



Do ordinary everyday things suddenly appear to you as interesting patterns or even resemble other things in an unusual, dare I say it, even an 'artistic way'? That's one way to capturing a visual abstract. It can be great fun!


Here are a couple of examples, both resembling heads (in my mind at least!)





This a black and white conversion. It's a picture of my wardrobe with a shirt cuff caught sticking out, nose-like with the two doorknobs above looking like eyes.

I was riding a bike near St. Petersburg in Florida a few years ago and rode across this biking bridge. I've always liked the symmetry of the shot.

Oh dear! I though this would be an easy salon!



Abstract gives you a lot of freedom to see things differently.



I'm going to extend the deadline to the end of the month - I do hope some of you will have a go...


In fact bribery is coming into play - I'm offering a small prize for the winning photo; but we do need some more photos!

Ian - can you tell us what's happening?

Re: Salon 263 - Abstract

Very nice work. You have a creative mind and concept. Abstract photography takes creative imagination and concept, usual perspective of the subject doesn’t make abstract photography. We must change our vision, ideas as well as the way of photography to get on it.

I don't know if we're going to continue the Salons but the photos I uploaded to this one are no longer supported by PhotoBucket. Here they are again.

[Ian]

Yes we will continue them!
