While visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico I went for a stroll though a neighborhood near the famous art district, Canyon Road. I happened upon this cozy little casita; with its small deck and brightly painted trim. As I took this shot, I I could envision its owner enjoying his/her coffee in the warmth of the morning sun. How quaint!
On a cold February day, we visited Bryce Canyon, in southern Utah. This was my first visit so you can imagine my “Awe”! We live in such an amazing world, with such beauty, but what I saw before me was truly breath taking. We were very lucky that it was a sunny day and also very lucky that bits of snow remained in the shaded areas (which added yet another color to the scene) . The vibrant colors of Bryce where very saturated when we were there; the result of the bounced lighting between these pillars. Albeit very cold (-5C) and windy along the canyon's edge, as we hiked down to the bottom it grew warmer and warmer, eventually we had to peel off our jackets. When we climbed back up to the canyon’s ridge, I happened upon this view; I knew it would make an awesome abstract!
"River Dance" - Bow River, Lake Louise, Alberta I love abstract photography, those photo's that make you stop.... and then wonder, "What's that?". I'm always on the lookout for the absurd, unique and downright weird things (those that will make you gaze in wonderment and puzzlement) and then shoot away! As I walked along the glacier blue waters of Bow River in Lake Louise, Alberta, I spotted this strange reflective formation, it was dancing between the river rock (so intriguing). Notice the rings around the smaller rocks, they add a stronger, more defined element of shape, which in turn enhances the focal point even more. When I was editing this photo, I couldn't decide which way to rotate it!.... but, in the end, what you see here is the way I saw it. This being said, remember YOU are the artist (in post-production), when you're editing your abstract photos. Have fun exploring and looking for things that are out of ordinary; you're sure to find inspiring abstracts everywhere! *I used a larger f-stop (of 11), to ensure the surface of the water and rocks would be in focus.
