    Grab your cameras and go out and take some interesting new shots of everyday objects. Play with line, color, shapes and blur to create some fabulous abstract images.

    Alternatively, crop your photos at interesting spots and create abstracts from that. You could also try some post-processing to completely change the look of your images and make them more unique.

    I look forward to seeing your shots!

  • Geometry + Humanity: Beirut Shutterbug Abstracts Everyday Life

    [ By WebUrbanist in Art & Photography & Video. ]

    abstract building facade

    Photographing real people in actual places, Serge Najjar manages to make the mundane seem strange and fantastical, highlighting the intersection of humans and the architectural spaces they inhabit.

    abstract window looker

    His planned-looking portraits of people in urban environments are surprisingly spontaneous, appearing staged but usually featuring strangers he has never met and captured as he wanders cities.

    abstract circles building

    abstract flag architecture

    Technically, Najjar, a lawyer by trade in Beirut, Lebanon, is not even a professional photographer, though the beauty and popularity of his work would suggest otherwise.

    abstract window view

    abstract side view

    His work, which spans from his home city to Rome and Berlin, features both generic architecture and famous places, all with his eye for making the familiar stream foreign and fresh.

    abstract shadow building

    While there are common threads, themes and angles to much of his photography, it is impossible to describe the commonality strictly in terms of perspective, as various works break the very conventions he generally follows.

  • Weekly Photography Challenge – Christmas Light Abstracts

    By Ted Murphy

    This week’s photography challenge is all about experimentation!

    Try something new

    Step out of the old comfort zone

    Dare to be different

    Dare to mess it up even!

    I’m talking about creating abstract images, and there is no right or wrong. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and abstracts bring art down to its simplest forms: color, shape, and light. Couple tips for doing this:

    • use a tripod if you want steady images (if you want zig zaggy then hand hold and see what happens)
    • you’ll need long exposures, usually a few seconds long, to create light abstracts
    • try zooming
    • make it completely out of focus on purpose
    • try moving yourself and the camera around during the exposure
    • get out of your head that it has to be sharp and a focused, crisp subject and just let go and play!
