Dockside Abstract

October Project: "Lines That Don't Like Being Lines"

As Lea alluded to, this month's project is severely difficult, but on the other hand, it is also extremely interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

All great stuff so far, I might add. :)

In this one, the shadow lines appear to follow the odd shape of this dockside line anchor (I don't know the proper name for these things).

From the beauty of nature and landscapes to a piece of trash, wherein I saw a face...

Chairs in the Sun

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14mm f2.5

It was a sunny, warm day with a very high contrast light at that location, and I thought there was a picture in here somewhere. I played with different crops to create an abstract, but I'm not sure if it works. What do you think?

Lone Duck on Central Lake, Foster City

Gray skies today, I chose to leave this in color but with a mono feeling. :)

A Flowery Starfield

Natural "J"

Lumix DMC-GF1, Lumix 20mm f1.7

I was shooting a field of green leaves because I liked how the leaves were lit. Later, when I was reviewing the picture, I noticed that a shadow made the letter "J".

More Nikon FM Photos...

Just after I took a few snaps of the gentleman, this beautiful young woman stepped in to pose in front of the vintage bike. I think she looks like a young Joan Collins... maybe even more lovely.

The other photo is an abstract of shadows of the cast iron railing on the steps of a brownstone on W. 15th Street. The brownstone was indeed brown, and I gave it the sepia treatment.

These were taken with the Nikon FM that Warren generously gave me!
