Project 52-10-6: Abstract
Posted By: djb47, 10-15-2021, 04:59 AM

Abstract photography is a style of photography where the subject in the image is not immediately identifiable or there is no subject at all. Abstraction occurs when a photograph captures a portion of a specific scene, isolating it from its contextual environment, whether it be color, shape, form, or texture, whereby the artist is able to create a unique perception of familiar objects. As always be as imaginative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.


Photos for P52-10-6 are to be taken and posted between Oct 15 and Oct 21.

Rules:
1.Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-10 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture or how it represents the weekly theme.
4.Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure,color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non
Pentax cameras are allowed. Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot,
Medium Format, etc. But no phones, please.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7.The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.

Missed the deadline for architectural reflections, but I'll be the first to enter this challenge. There isn't a lot of abstraction in this photograph, but hopefully I've captured "a unique perception of familiar objects."

Fall
I almost extracted shape, form, and texture, and boosted colour to emphasise to emphasise it as main autumn characteristic
For this i used F1.8 and manual focusing mode to defocus picture to the level I like. After taking the picture I used inucamera filter to maximize saturation.

Originally an idea I had for the monthly contest, however a little too abstract for the criteria
