Abstract - Kerri

I think I scared a few people when they first saw what I'd chosen for the theme this fortnight but I'm hoping everyone ended up having some fun with it once I'd shared a couple of links with explanations and examples. Abstract photography is something I've wanted to try for a while but just never got around to and I'm really glad now that I did as I loved it! As I've been unwell for several weeks, I decided to just use random household items instead of venturing out in to the big wide world and it's really quite amazing to me what you can achieve with every day mundane items, if you just look at them differently.

My absolute favourite out of the three items I used was a rainbow coloured slinky. I was fascinated by all the different shapes and patterns you could create just by changing the angle of the lens or by moving the slinky a little bit. I absolutely love this one.

This second one was created using vegetable oil mixed with Windex in a glass bowl with some coloured wrapping paper placed underneath. It didn't end up looking like I'd envisaged but I'm still pretty happy with the end result.

The last one has a bit more of an industrial feel to it and is my cheese grater.. lol. I promise it doesn't actually look this beaten up and festy in real life!! I added some grungy textures to it to change the tones and make it look a bit more gritty.
