Many thanks to Chris Cook @cdcook48 for hosting the last round and to all those who participated and all those who voted! I am so honored to have my image selected for that round and to have the honor of hosting the next one.
There are lots of definitions/descriptions of abstract photography. One of my favorites comes from The Digital Photography School website: Abstract photography focuses on the beauty of shapes, colors, patterns, and textures. Unlike most other forms of photography, it doesn’t aim to represent reality in a literal sense; instead, creating abstract photos is all about playing with visual elements to create images that might not be immediately recognizable. The link to that site is below along with a few others that you might find helpful and inspiring.
Most of all, have fun. Can’t wait to see your images!!! This round starts August 8 and will go through September 8. (I live in US.) Any photos taken in the above time frame are eligible. Enter as many photos as you wish, the more the merrier, but only one image per photographer will be shortlisted.
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 or create it through ICM
Go macro
