abstract in black and white by shannejw

abstract in black and white

it started as a fairly boring close up of a peg (plastic grey peg, not the wooden one from yesterday). I just played a bit and used the fractal setting on GIMP to produce this surreal image.

New toy arrived today and this is taken using it, but by the time I'd found it and bought an SD card because the one on order had not turned up I didn't have a lot of light to get a shot.

OMG! Isn't there an ETSOOI challenge still going? I am not sure. I cannot keep them all straight. But this is phenomenal ETSOOI! I thought this was a wood carving but yet not...was not sure. and then you said it was a peg. I am thinking you mean "clothespin" is what we call it in the US. This is amazing! Just great
January 6th, 2014  
fav!
January 6th, 2014  
@espyetta yes, it's a clothes pin and it's for the abstract challenge
January 6th, 2014  
@shannejw That is just so great! I saw that after I looked at your tags. Great challenge pic!
January 6th, 2014  
This is pretty creative. Fave. :)
January 6th, 2014  
Amazing! Even though you explained what the original subject was... it still took me a bit to get my head around. FAV!!
January 6th, 2014  
I love fractals! Truly amazing what you were able to get from experimenting with that setting. FAV just because...
January 6th, 2014  
I just love this. Fav from me
January 6th, 2014  
Great shot!!
January 6th, 2014  
Amazingly creative, fav!
January 6th, 2014  
@shannejw Very interesting picture!

For the Get Pushed challenge, I would love to see you take this same abstract approach to do a self portrate! Hopefully that will allow you to use some of the new setting on your camera. I hope this challenges you, and look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)
January 6th, 2014  
Very cool
January 6th, 2014  
Very cool abstract, nicely done!

Ann
Love the b/w abstract of this. Will look into GIMP for the fractal feature!
January 7th, 2014  
Nice! So you are still here!!!! Great to find you again! Good luck for the year ahead and thanks for the follow!
January 7th, 2014  
@annp2014 thank you Ann - it's under filters -> map -> fractal trace - although there's another version. It's been a while since I played with all the filters.
January 7th, 2014  
@ruthmouch not still here - did a year, left, returned for 6 weeks, went for 18 months, now back!
January 7th, 2014  
I´ve never seen a peg quite like this, what a intriguing piece of art! Creative and artistic, love it!
January 7th, 2014
