Exclamation October '06 Monthly Photo Assignment: Abstract

I thought about doing the typical "Fall" or Halloween type assignments. Not this month.


There are many fun things that can be done with this assignment. The idea is to photograph something where it is difficult to tell what the subject is. (See example)

Ways to get an abstract photo is as varied as the possible subjects. (The example is a cheese grater with a Sprite can reflected, btw) You can get close, get far away, tilt the camera, change colors in Photoshop, and on and on......

Get out there and get creative!

I took this last month but I dropped my camera in water so no new pics:



It's an elephant statue (the leg). It has a piece of styrofoam still stuck on it.

These was yet again, taken by my boyfriend...it was taken in January but its really awesome anyway. Our friend was glowsticking in another of our friend's basement at a party. Turned out pretty sweet. No photoshop! Unfortunately with the resizing they aren't as clear but I love these pictures.
