Launching Abstract-65

May 31st, 2022
Warmest thanks to Laura @ljmanning for hosting the abstract 64 challenge, and to everyone who voted for my Electric Tulip abstract. Winning was really unexpected and very much appreciated ! So now we are on to abstract 65. And apologies for the delay.

This challenge is all about seeing abstract in the real world. Don’t worry about getting it right. Abstract photography should be a place of complete freedom. And this is why the most important "quality" for abstract photography is just your imagination and creativity!

So how do you create an abstract image and make really amazing abstracts? Here are some tips:

Shoot the ordinary.
Choose strong shapes.
Get up close.
Use color to grab attention.
Seek out texture.
Look for repeating patterns.
Use lines and curves.
Photograph reflections.
Shoot through another object.
Capture motion.
Go macro.
