I had a lot of fun with this challenge. Thank you Ritva! The fun came when I experimented with Photoshop filters and saw how I could change images. I also realized how I just compose photos for abstracts. Most of the images below are ones I put my lens close in or used a macro lens. So, let’s get started with my show and tell!

First, I have so much fun with intentional camera (lens) movement. Here are two taken at two different carnivals.

Now for some Photoshop filter fun. Can you see the two flowers in the first (left) photo? How about the bridge going over the stream in the center photo? The one on the right is easier–reflection of trees in the water.

Now for the images I took naturally with close ups.

As I said, I enjoyed experimenting and discovering more about how I take photos. Once again, thanks Ritva. When you reply to her post with your abstracts, please remember to link to Ritva’s post and use the Lens-Artists tag.

We did some rock climbing, walking and just admiring last week in response to Donna’s challenge. I enjoyed your responses. Next week Egidio is challenging us, so be sure to look for his post.

Until then stay safe!

  2. Wow! How very creative. You’ve enlightened me. I recently purchased some ND filters and have wanted to play around with ICM. I’ll need to check out those photoshop filters.

  8. This set of photos is so creative! I love the colors and the shapes, found and made by you as well as those in nature. It looks like you had a lot of fun and learned a few things about PS, too – far more than I am likely to ever know.

  13. Such a great collection of abstracts, I can’t really pick a favourite! But that pink/purple swirl is fabulous and I’m intrigued by the middle row / right side image in your last gallery, titled ‘regular-6’

  17. This didn’t come up in the reader for me Anne, so sorry for taking so long to respond. The images are fun, especially the photoshop ones, but I think I like the natural ones more. You do have an eye for it.
