DP Salon Contest 268 - Abstract

[Caz]

Thanks for the message Pat - I'd missed this!

Thank you for choosing my image and for all the kind comments.

I know it looks black and white but it's not - it's definitely monochromatic as it's the exterior of the Central Library in Birmingham.

Right, thinking cap needs to go and I'll post something later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Once again, apologies for the delay.

Nice to see Penny, posting here. Hope to see more.

Thanks for running the Salon, Pat. I also wouldn't know how to judge this one.

But agree that I liked Caz's third image . Well done, Caz. Over to you.

Sorry, I'm a day late on the voting. There were some very nice entries but the standout winner in my mind is Caz's third entry in black and white. Honorable Mention to my wife's shot of the interior of the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik. We were there two years ago today.

Over to you Caz!

My effort,

I did Google abstract and my old brain is none the wiser. Never had any interest in art which I think abstract is a form of. Just have to give this one a miss.

Sorry Pat there will be no entry from me. Abstract is something I have never photographed. I'm watching and learning from the submitted images to your salon. I have no idea how you judge this subject.

It's tough to define and everyone probably has a different idea of what Abstract Photography is. Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete 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. The image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment like a camera, darkroom or computer, or it may be created without using a camera by directly manipulating film, paper or other photographic media, including digital presentations.

This was an iridescent gift bag that I'd given to the cats to play with - then I saw the effect of the LED lighting in the kitchen and went off to find the camera
