Basically, just choose a subject and try to see it in abstract form so that the subject is not easily recognizable. There are no restrictions on what to shoot. You might want to try a subject that you know very well or something quite new to you. You could choose a particular angle or close in on a part of it. You will need to consider factors such as what focal length and which exposure parameters would be best to realize your vision…
Please keep these things in mind:
1. As far as possible the actual object is not immediately recognizable.
2. Remember that this is all about seeing abstract before you shoot.
3. To really challenge your eye you might consider SOOC but this is not compulsory.
4. Post-production - edits such as color saturation, contrast enhancements and black and white conversion are acceptable, but please do not apply any software filters that distort or significantly change the image in order to make it abstract. There are other challenges for that, e.g. ETSOOI.
5. The images should be taken within the time frame of the challenge.
6. You can enter as many images as you like.
7. As with other challenges the person who wins has the honor of hosting the next one.
The challenge will run for two weeks, and you can enter as many times as you'd like. The images you enter must be taken and uploaded between now and February 2 (the deadline is midnight in your time zone).
Soon afterwards I will choose finalists to be voted on. The winner gets the honor of hosting the next challenge!
