Abstracts--using lines, negative space, etc.

Tracker

I'd be interested in what others have done with lines, patterns, negative space, shapes, etc. Finding new ways to see the everyday.

I especially like the second one. Lots of faces and things to read into it!

Not sure it this quite fits the bill or not but here are two of mine:

I like the one with the blades of grass. And it's an interesting question. I've done some abstract, but not a lot. I try to either isolate a particular feature of an object that when removed can be seen as something else, or to present something in a strange way that makes a person look twice. Here's some favorites -







Eh, I don't know if they qualify as abstract, but it's as abstract as this literal thinker can achieve.

Tracker,

#2 is beautiful. Love the detail in the foreground and the grain in the background. My kind of nature photography.

Here's my contribution.

Don,

# 4 is other-wordly. What is it?

My shop floor covered with red and blue plastic saw dust from routing HDPE sheets for a project.


Can you guess the last one and the second one?

My blue ice shot was also an accident of sorts... shot some ice in a fountain in the back yard and forgot to turn off the tungsten WB filter.

I really like all the shots everybody's contributing. Hearing the background for the shot gives me thoughts for other possibilities.

first--a wet painter's drop cloth?

first--trail of receding tide at Salisbury Beach, MA.

second--mark of jigsaw blade in 2" pink phone insulation used as a bed for cutting 'tree branch' templates for an exhibit project.

last-- rheoscopic fluid in water under a half dome of plexi, in a shallow layer over another dome, with one dome being rotated to form swirls in the liquid to resemble weather on Saturn...

The last must me water, but the second is killing me.

Okay, that last was a flop.....

How about this for Abstracts--using lines, negative space, etc?
