Ok...so I have played hooky today from work and worked on this assignment instead! And what an awesome one it is! Right up my alley when it comes to abstract art. I had learned about Orton's methods a few years back and have brought some of the tecnique into my work at times. This time I set my camera to a higher saturation in order to get the brightest of colors vs the muted pastels that blurring can cause. These a pretty much what came out of the camera with the exception of popping the contrast on a couple of them. I am posting a few here but you can see the rest of todays shoot in this album...

ABSTRACTS

    btw...for those who might be curious...the sunflower was laying on a dark green counter top with a blue bottle of windex, a red squirt bottle, a white roll of paper towels, a light blue bottle of fabreeze and a pink pencil holder as background colors. All the other pics were taken outdoors of trees and weeds mainly.

    I like the sunflower. The contrasting colors add to the comp.
