Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Abstract Photography

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)

5 Days Black & White Challenge: Day five

 

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.

 

# 278 Spanar – Gazing (95/365)

Äntligen en solig dag! Full fart på fåglarna från tidig morgon. Skatan spanar från nocken.

Finally a sunny day! The birds were alert from early morning. This magpie is gazing out over her hunting grounds.

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

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.

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