I have been working on some old USA Arizona D800 images to create some abstract type images for a camera club set subject of Abstract. Do these images work?

I struggle with abstract photography.

Photography is inherently recording life as we see it. Whereas abstract is creating scenes that are not lifelike. This is how google defines it….

“Abstract photography consists of images created using photography materials and equipment that don't have an immediate association with the physical world. Abstract photographers use perspective, movement, and light to transform the world we see into an unexpected, often unrecognizable image.”

To me, abstract is about lines, shapes, curves, swirls, vortexes, grids, textures all interacting in different colours.

Immediately you include anything “lifelike” the viewer gets a reality fix…which weakens the abstract nature of the image.

I can only remember doing one such design for a tech company brochure front…annoyingly I cannot find it for the moment.

But this is another design I did for an injection moulding company. It’s more of a digital collage than an abstract design as I’ve used their product shapes rather than random created shapes. So there is inevitably a reality fix as the components are recognisable as life like objects. It was eventually used as an exhibition poster with text overlay.

Chris…does this need a subject of its own?

Leaving it in Landscapes further reduces it abstract status to my mind. o.O

Who knows, we may go crazy and create a new experience for us all. :lol:

Just showed the image to my Art Director, as she was going to bed, who said this crop was more "abstract".

Who am I to argue with senior management??????? So I am off to bed as well!

The wife and I delayed bedtime last night to capture some photos of the Northern Lights.
I was photographing the sky over the house and Jan was photographing over he garden.

I noticed she was being illuminated with the red aurora from her iPhone screen. I told her to stand still'

Apparently 3 secs is too long to stay still as she turned her head to ask if I had 'finished' at 2.5 secs.

A resulting blurred face of my lovely wife was the result ......and the moment was gone.
This is the photo I caught, which is more appropriate on the abstract thread. :lol:

Just heard something quite surreal.

The elderly lady (93) living in the property across the road from me passed away during the time I was photographing the Aurora over her bungalow.

Rather than Jupiter Ascending caption ( the planet was the bright spot ) those with a more devout faith might have considered ‘Phyllis Ascending’ a more appropriate caption for the moment, especially when this image over her roof which I didn’t post, had perhaps a more biblical look…..
