Just wondered who out there likes abstract photography. Has anyone bought any abstract prints on the DPCPrints site?
Here are a couple of mine (no spot editing - just colour asdjusted). I'd be interested in any comments:

YES,, in a word. I love abstract and edgey shots.
Very nice, I particularly like the purple/magenta one.
I'll be posting some of mine own after the "life" challenge is over. Have some versions of my submission that I'll look forward to feedback on.

Very nice, Jon!
Coming along nicely...
ps Soup, that picture is just to big to embed in a forum. You really should post a thumbnail link. |

| Jon, I really like your abstracts with your signature light patterns. I'm glad to see you're still exploring. They are getting better and better. Do you have any rules or discoveries you can share in creating them? If I just made light shapes in front of a camera, I'd probably fail to get a pleasing result, but you may have some wisdom to share? |

Nice works guys.
Soup, are nipples those at the center of the spoons or it is just my pervert imagination?

Thanks for all these comments - very inspiring.
David, I'm using the same technique as before but just playing with the exposures. The two shots below were of a piece of high-gloss spiralled plastic which I spun and skewed during the time exposure.
While the shutter was open I exposed the spiral to a mobile strip light which I moved both towards and away from the subject. The 'rhythm' in the ribbons is created by the spinning spiral catching the light at intervals. These can be made to space out or close up by varying the speed of rotation.

Jon, I was just looking through your portfolio, and got my coworker to laugh when she caught me staring really hard at your stereograph pictures with my eyes crossed. How do you take those? They remind me of the Viewmaster that fascinated me when I was a little kid.

Glad the stereo stuff caused such entertainment for your friend! They're easy to take (but less easy to see at first perhaps). Check out this forum post for further info:

I got a sale on this one. 
And have bought quite a few of them for family (5 in various sizes). Not sure who bought the other though. Would like to know to send a thank you.
I still can't do the stereo thing on the computer screen. In prints, etc., no problem. Must be the radioactive light elements burning through me brain.

I love abstract photography, but sometimes I find it difficult to know what's abstract and what isn't. I think it's not so easy to make abstract photos that will really resonate with a lot of people. I haven't sold anything labelled "abstract" - comments, yes, but sales, no.

I recently submitted a somehow "abstract" image:

...or is that just contrived? ;)
