I have an idea, saw it but did not have my rebel with me, so hopefully tomorrow I can get the picture to enter.

[kiwichris]

Go for it, I am about ready to post mine :)

[mullhawk]

I have never tried to do abstract before, so this was very difficult for me, it just seems to broad for me I guess, I don't know I enjoy looking at others abstract stuff, but this is just not my can of worms. But here it goes :neutral: ???

I did a few trial runs, have uploaded others onto Flickr ;)

[ckort]

Looks good everyone. Was beginning to wonder who our players were. Abstract is such a broad subject, I thought it would come fairly easy for all of us. Plus give everyone a chance to step out of the box and do something they don't normally do. I gotta tell ya I've been having some fun with this. I have several I'm PP'ing. Just trying to narrow it down to my favorite. Will probably post mine tonight. Good luck all and keep em coming!!

[ckort]

KiwiChris I just checked your flikr and your photos look amazing! Good work!!

[kiwichris]

Thanks :)

[ckort]

Ok here's my submission. This is a photo of an infinity candle. For those that don't know, it's a glass case that you set candles in and the candles reflect off of the front and rear glass panals and the reflections give the effect off the light going on forever. So what I did was a 4sec exposure and panned the camera from right to left and got a stream of lights effect. Then did some heavy PP work in PSE7 and this is the result.

[Goincarcrazy]

Well...after Ckorts, I'm prolly gonna sit this one out. haha. Sweet shots dude.

[KnowImagination]

no way man if everyone sat out if they thought they couldn't win then ckort would be the only one participating haha

[ckort]

Thanks guys. Come on now, LETS SEE EM!!;) It's all about having fun exploring your camera right?

[kiwichris]

Well...after Ckorts, I'm prolly gonna sit this one out. haha. Sweet shots dude.


Chicken :lol:

[mullhawk]

no sitting out, just post something, I did... at least it gives us some participation, and the best part of these little comps is getting to look at everyone's take on specific subjects, which helps us all learn, and gives me something to do while bored :D

[KnowImagination]

Found a whole twenty minutes to shoot today... here is my best shot

uh, if you are asking if you can just vote your number 1 then yeah go for it, only one person can win :D

[HSK]

k - Well for me - ckort's picture stands out as what I would consider abstract.

Without saying how he did it, I probably wouldn't know exactly. The flame of the candle has made those wave like forms - so it kinda reminds me of a a few different things - ripples in sand, waves, water, clouds...the black could be space, the colours look like energy. There's quite a few ways you could look at it.

A good effort from everyone, but for me ckort's picture and the editing stands out to me.

Good luck everyone!

[kiwichris]

Line from the song "Witch Doctor (http://www.brownielocks.com/witchdoctor.html)" :lol:

Yep I had the era correct, the songs mixed up, it came to me later, after I posted of course :lol:

[mullhawk]

erin mills town centre!!

nice, mind you i found out recently that your not allowed to take pictures in shopping malls.. the security will tell you to put your camera away if they see you.:rolleyes:

[SF Lights]

Wow, I'm so glad that my idea has gone on for more challenges! You guys are doing great with it.

[Goincarcrazy]

YOU'RE BACK!

[SF Lights]

Yep! For the moment at least...

By the way, can someone send me a PM to catch me up...I want to be a judge!

[rdguy]

Yes the clock caught my eye one day, so i went back to take a few pictures. I actually took them outside the Blacks store, and no-one bothered me. I guess that is maybe a good spot as I could claim I was shopping at Blacks.

Cheers!

[mullhawk]

I would say read the first post in this thread, and read through the original thread linked in the first post here
Sorry we had to make some changes while you were gone, but feel free to take it back over :D

[mullhawk]
