Thank you Kathy for hosting the last round and to all those who participated in #77 as well as to those who took the time to vote. I am really thrilled that I won it. Congratulations to me! 😁😀😆
I was a bit distracted in November to January and I never really followed this up. Consequently, I didn’t know I had won! Please accept my apologies for being slack ( I’m not sure if this is only an Australian saying). But let’s get it going.
What actually is an abstract?
Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental or conceptual photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. - Wikipedia.
Some tips that have been mentioned before may help you capture or create an interesting abstract:
Shoot the ordinary in an unusual way
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
Start Date backdated to: January 01, 2024
End Date: March 31, 2024
(So you can go through the photos you have already taken and see what you have that might fit the challenge! Or convert an existing photo into abstract.)
Tweets ahoy!
