abstracts.
I know a lot of people like to play around with abstraction in their photography.
For myself, they are sometimes deliberate and sometimes 'happy accidents.' Doesn't matter either way as I see it. This thread is a place to share some of your favorite non-narrative photos. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5170/...527533fa_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5010/...7d3266a9_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5081/...712b8a31_z.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5206/...8938a048_z.jpg (Note: I'm about two months into a project to re-edit all of my older photo sets - I'm all the way up to June 2007, woohoo! - so as I move forward (and delete older editions from flickr) old threads of mine in this forum will become full of blanks. Just so folkses knowses...) ---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ---------- ALSO, it would be especially cool if folks who don't normally participate in this forum do so on this thread. Grab that phone and photograph the sidewalk, a storefront, tree bark, whatever...it's fun. :) |

I too would like to encourage folks to participate. I'm newish to digital photography & still learning about all these newfangled buttons & settings. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...C_1287-2-1.jpg |
This was a "happy accident". I was actually trying to get photos for a "motion"/"stop motion" assignment.
I sat in the second row of the K-ROCK Centre in Kingston watching a demonstration of skateboarders and guys on BMX bikes. I was shooting with the flash as the guys were flying in front of me. I had a narrow view in my 70-300 mm lens set at 70 mm on my Rebel XT. In this photo, three guys magically appeared at the same time. The only adjustments I made were some levels in Lightroom, I swear! http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r..._R_Motion1.jpg ---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ---------- This is a closeup of my turn signal on my bike. http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/IMG_2028.jpg This is the same photo after I fiddled around with saturation and colour levels. http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...SignalLens.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/_MG_2359.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/_MG_2149.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...s/_MG_2197.jpg |
excellent, folks. thanks for participating. here's an old photo I just rediscovered today...and discovered there was more to it than I saw at first. happy accident, for sure.

That's a part of the shadow cast by the Unisphere in Flusing Meadows Park. The lines within the shadow are skateboard tracks. Your first shot is awesome, MM. |

Thanks, MM.
Excellent photos, Dlish. I've always wanted to see the Mezquita in person and seeing your last photo brings me back to my first ever art history course, zoning out while imagining myself under those ceilings. Beautiful stuff. Thanks for sharing that. |
Lovely photos, everyone. Mixed, I really like the window covered with greenish...snow? Pollen?
Very nice. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...C_0939-2-1.jpg |
I think it was tape residue or something like that...

rmarshall, those images are wow magic & remind of the times when my younger self
would scoot beneath the tree, & admire it from a different angle. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...bstactbulb.jpg |

sweet photos, everyone, thank you.
ring, I really love that rooster. it looks like a photo you would see on a museum site. like an archeological find. and it makes me realize that one day all of our tacky shit prob. will end up on a museum site with people saying 'wow, would you look at that.' lol |
Spot on, ms.media. Thanks.
|
stayed in a hotel on Monday night. when we came out on Tuesday morning everything was frozen. sort of.

what sweet colors, mm....

Ever since this thread popped up, I've been looking for these pictures that I took on spring break a couple years ago. Here are a couple:
http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/members...-break-053.jpg http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/members...-break-056.jpg |
yay! excellent. thanks for posting, snowy.
what is that second photo? it almost looks like a delicious mountain of whipped cream. or I could be projecting, lol. <-- loves whipped cream. |
|
|
nice! thank you, Marshall and star!
what is the white surface with golden circles? it's kind of bizarre-looking. star, thanks for jumping in. I started a thread of night shots, too...in case, i dunno, you wanted to throw some up there, too. ;) |
I didn't know if these shots would really fit into the night vision one since they are not night shots but indoor shots. They are from the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland decorated for Nightmare Before Christmas. I figured abstract was more appropriate.
I really wish I could get a better picture of the snow angels, they are the thing I look forward to most when the ride gets converted. But the ride never stops. We keep hoping it will break down some time while we are at this point. |

But, having said that, I didn't do it in my parade pics. But the electric light parade was moving slowly. |

Random collection, I guess.
Seriously sad clarity. :( |

I hope more people join in the fun and post more often. Awful lonely in Tilted photography lately. |

yeah. i like taking photos of water. there are so many variables.
thank you! |
|
That looks stupendous! Absolutely incredible!
*looks at pic again, jaw hits floor* Was that taken with any filters or digitally altered? Or is that pretty much taken as is? Either way, I am impressed! :) |
Basically it is the result of my total lack of technical knowledge about cameras back in 2007, lol. It's an underexposed sunset shot over the Gulf of Mexico in Cedar Key, FL. The colors were really rich to start with but I enhanced it with a "Beth Orton" filter which made the colors more saturated and the darks darker.
Waste not, want not. :) I like making abstracts out of glaring errors. |

^ I see a chinese lady from one of those scrolls dancing across the water.
|
That's lovely wow nice!
|
thanks folks. that one was from 2008. corkscrew sanctuary in naples. there was a glorious blue sky that day which you can see reflected in the shallow, murky, oil-stained puddle. :)
|
|
Ring, that one is really eye-catching! Where is that, if I may ask? :)
|
Thanks, MMG! It's located in a tiny mid-western town. :-)
