Some abstraction

I tend to like and understand as abstract photography those images where if any subject is explicitly depicted, it is also clear that it is not the true subject or message of the photograph. I view it as a form of free reign to create photographs of a basic visual message: soothing, harsh, pleasant, soft, fun, etc.

Doing abstract photography is rather fun, especially if you are looking only for pleasing or impact full aesthetics. There is the obvious bonus that it can be made almost anywhere. You can find patterns. contrast, shapes and textures anywhere, its up to you how to photograph them.

I plugged my Industar 61 L/Z and extension tubes onto my K10D and on to find some contrasty lines and shapes.

The 2nd doesn't do much for me, but the first one is lovely. Great greens with fab gradients. That line of sharpness near the middle makes the shot.

Not really my thing but impressive all the same.

Number 2 would be my preference
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.
