Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Abstract Photography

20 mars, 201520 mars, 2015 / Leya / 11 kommentarer

Cee’s challenge this week is about abstractions. My try is from Malmoe last Autumn. See more abstract photos here.

Like abstract art, abstract photography concentrates on shape, form, colour, pattern and texture. The viewer is often unable to see the whole object. The subject of the photo is often only a small part of the idea of the image. Viewers may only know the essence of the image subject or understand it by what is implied.

Often the image will not be a literal view of the subject itself. The subject tends to come second to seeing. The impact of aspects of the subject become a form of expressing the point. (definition found here)

Thank you again for being featured!

Cottage in the park.

For this challenge –

the rules are simple:

1) post a black & white photo daily for 5 days

2) Invite someone different to participate each day. (because no one wants to play alone!)

For Day 5, I am happy to invite Srdjana at https://srdjanapajevic.wordpress.com/ She is an excellent photographer and it would be great to see her in this 5 days B&W.

No strings attached if you don’t feel up to it.

# 326 Under ytan – Under the surface (92/365)

26 februari, 201526 februari, 2015 / Leya / 3 kommentarer

Den här byggnaden kör jag förbi varje dag, och har tänkt stanna många gånger…men visst är man oftast stressad? Idag stannade jag för att se vad som gömde sig under ytan..

I’m passing this building, but today I decided to stop and check out what was hidden under the surface.

Travel Theme: Energy

Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.

The sun, the water and the dung.

Warming water in a simple way, using the strong mountain sun.

This little water works is for digging the yellow clay to make incense.

A rather rich house, having a real stove outdoors.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry

Symmetry is a phenomenon soothing to the eye and soul. My two symmetries are from Denmark. The first one is a roof in the picturesque town of Köge and the second one is from the train to Köge.

Eget tema 1: Säcka – Sagging (68/365)

Det här lilla huset kör jag förbi ibland – undrar hur långt ner det kan säcka innan det faller samman?

This little house has been a sagging sight for several years – I wonder how much longer before it will fall apart totally.

# 88 Fäbod – Shack where you keep cattle/Mountain farm (64/365)

1 februari, 20151 februari, 2015 / Leya / 22 kommentarer

I Skåne kallar vi det här för fäbod, medan ordet har en lite annorlunda betydelse längre norrut i Sverige.

A play with words, but still this has to do with people keeping animals. In Skåne ”fäbod” doesn’t mean exactly the same thing as in northern Sweden. Up there it is more a mountain farm.

Travel theme: Doorways

I know there are many of us who love doors, so I will not tire you with too many…only three. One from Tibet, one from Gdansk, Poland and one from my home town in Sweden. If you didn’t know my favourite colours before – you will now!
