Abstract! I love looking for abstracts in nature! Thank you, Patti, for making abstract our Lens-Artists Photo Challenge this week. Patti Moed invites us to break the rules and go beyond the traditional realistic image of an object, scene, or element.
Look close enough and you can find abstract elements in all aspects of the natural world – be it animal
mineral
or vegetable
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s animal, mineral, or vegetable. When I looked through some of my files, I was struck by the similarities in these 2 images, taken 1,000 miles apart of 2 completely different substances. Can you tell which one is wood and which one is stone?
I especially like looking for the abstract in land forms. Sometimes it’s all about the angular with severe sharp lines –
And sometimes it’s all soft, sensuous curves –
Water is a great medium for abstract photography, too.
The next time you go out to play, try some abstract photography. You never know what worlds you may see if you look past the surface of an object’s everyday appearance!
This is a marvelous collection of abstracts, Dianne! Beautiful. I’m delighted you joined us.
Thanks, Patti! Glad you like them!
Sorry I missed this one Dianne – especially loved the green abstract – a plant??
Thanks, Tina! Yes, it was some kind of a milkweed growing in a ditch in the Sierra foothills. I’d never seen anything like it!
