Abstraction

What is abstraction in photography? Abstract photography to some people is a photograph of something you cannot recognize, but that is not true of most of mine and not my goal. My goal is usually to simplify the image in order to extract the “essence” of it and downplay the too-busy details. Some of these images were abstract out of the camera, but for most of them I used tools in Photoshop and Photoshop plugins to achieve my goals.

Now for some in-camera abstractions (post processed of course, but not to abstract them).

Some of my abstractions taken with the camera are in my Reflections blog post.
