Photography Challenge - Abstract

[Tim Mayo]

A big thanks to everyone who joined in with the black and white photography challenge last month.

So for this month (March 2021) there's a new challenge is this time around I thought I'd make it a little more challenging by going for an abstract photography challenge.

If you are unsure about what abstract photography is then here's the Wiki definition:

"Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental or conceptual photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials."

For some examples take a look at this group on Flickr:

This group is dedicated to Abstract Photography. It's about using a camera not to represent something but to create a feeling or sensation through the use of shape, color, texture, light and shadow. PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES Inappropriate Images NO iphone apps (See below) NO heavy...

This is not a competition so there will be no winners announced, it's purely for fun and self-development.

Simple Rules:

• Sony cameras only please
• Post as many times as you would like

Have fun!
