Hello all. I've been out and about again this weekend with the K-7 and have ended up with a few abstract-type shots (a bit different for me), which I though I would elicit some views on...

First up, a couple from a walk around london...

Many thanks guys - very much appreciated. I can see it becoming quite addictive looking for images like this around London... (there must be millions of them as long as you can spot them...)

First two are great. What was it?
Third one is good.
Number 4 is really different. Really nice to see an abstract which isn't angular and sharp edged for a change.

I think you have got me thinking......

Ah yes...

The first two came from a sculpture which is near Paternoster Square, not far from St Paul's Cathedral - consisting of three of four strange shapes. These were taken friday afternoon when there was really bright sunshine and so there were lots of shadows and reflections and good stuff.

The third is (I believe) the current home of the London Development Agency in Southwark, viewed from just outside the Tate Modern Gallery.

The last one is a tree in blossom reflected in a small pond in the woodland garden plantation in Bushy Park, surrounding Hampton Court Palace.

Great shots.. I love how you have approached no. 3 and 4. It's as if the subject doesn't really matter, but the patterns and colours do - that's proper abstract photography.

Lovely Mat - the last is my favourite, but the others are all very good too IMO.

Not so keen in No 3 but I love the others. Lovely photos and well spotted. K.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thanks again everyone - you're right Pentaxophile, I made an effort to simply find patterns as I was wandering around - it was great fun actually, recommended.
