Abstract

Abstract - a topic to strike fear into my heart! I'm not an abstract thinker, nor have I ever considered abstract anything ever. Google helped with some definitions and examples of abstract photography that helped a lot. In my mind it boiled down to line, colour and form - so that's what I went looking to catch.

 

Colour, backlit and interesting lines (well I thought they were interesting!). Late night shoot, overhead downlights, torch from the back of the shot. I guess it's my first real attempt at extra directional lighting.

This is a mistake shot - I got my settings so wrong it wasn't funny. But I like it and the more i look at it, the more I like it. So funny how these things work sometimes  The shape is lovely, I love the light in the bell and just the simplicity of it.

Madly hunting through my house looking for things to shoot - feathers, hooray! I love the sparkly, iridescent quality of the feathers and the colours. It just worked for me :)   And it was my second experiment in extra lighting, so just the kitchen downlights and a torch light from the side.

This was initially scary but fun in the end - so thanks Kerri!
