While I like shooting walls covered with graffiti and tags and patterns and textures that function as a kind of large-scale public abstraction, I tend to see photographic abstraction distinguish along the continuum of representation. Rather than step back from a landscape, get in closer to isolate patterns so that they are less immediately recognizable. Make the familiar strange, help the viewer forget the names of the things s/he sees in order to better see light and shadow, geometrical dynamics, overlaid patterns, etc.

Is this RF only or do SLR images count?

My most extreme abstract to date . . .

Not sure if this attempt qualifies as abstract...

But this in my opinion yes...

I'd call this 'minimalist' rather than 'abstract'.

Perhaps this photo of sun dried fish on the rack will fit the 'abstract' bill better.

interesting interpretations of 'abstract'...
there is one image that i could see me taking and i think i might have...
thanks to all who participated in this...i was very curious and had a greater need to talk about/see some images rather than talk gear.

Beautiful image with wonderful grain! I imagine if Sugimoto shot his seascapes on grainy slide rather than large formate we might have a similar result.

If Rothko had had those colors in his palette he might have died a happy man. But I'm glad that Peter ain't Rothko, and the sea and sky are these colors.
