View Full Version : Abstracts
I debated whether to place this image in the landscape topic, but realized it would possibly clash with the prevailing images there. And since doing a search and not finding a topic where abstracts were covered, I thought starting a new topic would be the best way to go.
And I am also prompted by receiving a mailing yesterday from Howard Bond announcing his latest portfolio, Enigma, which consists of ten of his abstract photographs. Surely, there are others here who at least dabble occassionally in doing abstracts, either with 'straight' shots, or in heavy manipulation of an original?
I'll start it off with this landscape where I heavily 'abused' the saturation, contrast and brightness features in my scanning software to give it an abstract look.
The original is from a 4X5 Ektachrome 100 plus transparecy, moderatly cropped. And I am open to critique on this.

I used this in the diptych thread, but as it is the most abstract I have done, I'd thought I would show it off here, too. Link below:

Thanks for bringing that up, mrladewig. How in the heck did I miss that great thread in my search?
Moderators,
Please feel free to bring the abstract thread that is shown in mrladewig's link to this part of the forum, so that it may become the main thread here. And if it can be worked out, combining the one I started into that one would be fine by me.

I was thinking "architectural detail" when I shot this. After looking at the negative I started thinking "abstract".

On a visit to Islay, on the west coast of Scotland. I tend to look for shelter from direct sunlight on clear blue sky days as it's not my thing, rooting around in an old garage this old Morris Minor was left tucked away in the back. The lovely soft blue is in complete contrast to paint jobs on most modern cars, considerably more "forward" by comparison.

Dear Donald;
I almost never comment on other photographers work especially if it is in a different genre from my own but after looking at your work for some months now, I believe that you are one of the most gifted artists on this or any other forum or venue. Your work seems to me to display a depth of expressive composition and visualization, matched only by your complete mastery of technique. Bravo!

Hi Kev, The subject is and was three dimensional. It is a found (environmental) form as different from a self constructed form. No cardboard or white paper were involved.
The image was post processed in PS after scanning.

Thank you, Mr. Harley.

HEY---that mud is kool--I like that....is that mississippie mud to slap your feets on?
the CRACKS are nice too--the small image you see loses the "magic" of it---the large size original image works really well..the detail in the BIG one makes it work.....it gets soft in that lower left corner though....

yeah--it's amazing though how when it's small in the regular post, it gets ruined but the crunchy detail is what MAKES it...maybe that's what a lot of people miss---the LF people are the ones that put their noses up and look at the fine detail...the rest that don't see the difference (most of the world????) just glance at the whole thing but then have to twitter to find out what's happening....what are you doing...who's doing what....they GOTTA know

This is an American chestnut in its spiny hull, made in the Great Smoky Mountains. Once the American chestnut was plentiful in the North Carolina mountains. In the early 1900’s blight killed most of the trees. Today you perhaps will find smaller trees, the tree that produced this chestnut is the largest tree I have seen in years.

I remember, as a Boy Scout in the 1960's, camping in what had previously been a chestnut forest. All around were these rotted stumps of trees that had been felled decades before; easy firewood! All you had to do was kick a stump and it would fall into a half dozen sections, ready for the campfire.

Jack,
You might consider a Google search on the American Chestnut Foundation, the organization that is trying to develop a blight-resistant American Chestnut for reintroduction into our forests. That foundation might be interested in the exact location of that tree--and its nuts. Who knows, it might have a natural resistance to the blight.

Where did you get the calabi-yau manifold? Do you have to travel through space and time to get one, or can you pick one up at your local theoretical physics dime store?

There's no limit to the number of extensions that can be added to a Sinar monorail. Beyond a certain point, the ordinary 'Sinar P' transforms into the 'Sinar Planck', and it's no longer recommended to use front tilt or swing, as it takes an infinite amount of time to move between the front and rear standards.

rollo pyro is stupid easy. it is the easiest developer i have ever used after d76! You can expose almost any way you want as much as you want and still get a good neg. I will scan the contact print of this image. I made one last night on g2 azo wth amidol. It makes the crappy scan look even worse!

Really? Wow, almost as easy as d76? It seems complicated. I think I'll give it a try and let you see the results. I would like to see that contact scan.
On a side note.. a few years ago when I was younger and stupid. My photography teacher gave me some very old AZO paper from the 70s or early 80s and I didn't end up using it because I thought it would be too old and not work. DUMB! Coming back into photography now I realize what I threw away and I want to get my hands on azo again for my 5x7 proofs.

I use rollo pyro in a jobo 3010. It is really easy.
Here is a link to a Michael Gordon tutorial. I learned from Michael and it is cake.

Thanks Harley! I'll check out this link.
While making a contact print of an 8x10 portrait negative, I did some test exposures on scraps of paper to get the exposure and contrast right. This piece was stuck to the back of the test paper. It stayed stuck on through developer and stop bath, and came apart while in the fixer. Thus, it's a weirdly developed unique image but properly fixed, and completely unrelated to the negative and test sheet sitting above it.

So I returned to Blissville with some color negative in hand...
http://john-sanderson.com/files/Fall%204x5/BlissvillePtII.jpg
Nikon 300mm F/9 , Portra 160 -2 stops development (the reduction in contrast was nice, plus I kept my highlights unlike when I shot it with slide film).
After looking through all of the images in this thread, I realized that all of my 'abstract' images are either 35mm or digital. And I realized that this is not due to a lack of artistic vision (well, maybe not), but rather due to a lack of confidence in my artistic vision. It's cheaper to do an experiment with a digital p&s than to commit a sheet or two of 4x5. I'm going to have to think about this a little, next time I take out the big kit.
