K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge…

Welcome to a slightly late edition of K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge; due to me having technical issues with a beta version of the post editor I’m trialling for WordPress.

I still had time to muck about with a few photos while I was trying to sort out the upload problem, so let’s take a look at my trio of offerings on the theme of; The Power in Threes, chosen by K’lee on Friday.

I decided to go with using everyday objects to make something artistic, this time arranging three of our retro-designed dinner plates in various patterns to make a triptych of abstract images.

You can see what K’lee has created by clicking the link HERE, but now let’s see what you’ve come up with.

To get involved with the challenge, post a photo to your blog on Monday, add a pingback to this post (or to K’lee’s) and don’t forget to tag your post #CosPhoChal.
Alternatively, add a link to your blog in the comments of either mine or K’lee’s post and we’ll come and check out your entry.

Any and all effects, editing, Photoshop, Instagram, morphing, collages or whatever other post production techniques you fancy are permitted, (in fact, they’re actively encouraged!) so get creative and turn your photos into artworks for the Cosmic Photo Challenge.

#atozchallenge: A is for Abstract Art…

You know that comment I made yesterday about getting back to normal? Well, I’d forgotten that the A-Z Challenge began this month, hadn’t I?

So I’m going to have a go at another month of random stuff, but these are likely to be very quick posts and, since I have serious problems with any link to the Blogger platform, it’s unlikely that I’ll be doing it properly.

Anyway, here is the first day’s offering; a small selection of abstract art, created using photos I took for my week of nature photography posts.

K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge…

It’s time once again to fire up your imaginations and get creative for K’lee and Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge, which today revolves around a theme of my choice.

I specifically asked you to use some form of post-production effects for this week’s challenge, because that is what we like here and I’ve noticed that some of you shy away from using all but the most basic adjustments to your original photos.

Plus, I have a guest contributor this week, so I also wanted to be able to crowbar his pictures in.

I’ve gone for some more abstract images, produced using photos of industrial components as the source material.

The next selection are from my old friend and esteemed blog artist-in-residence, Ho, who sent me these colourful and artistic contributions last week.

So, there you have it.

KG left us this.

Lady Lee Manila offers these for your perusal.

And K’lee’s photo is HERE, for your viewing pleasure.
Now, show us the fruits of your creative labours…

Playing with abstracts…

Meaningless beauty; the mysterious art of abstraction.

Photo Sans Frontiers

Here are a few experiments in abstract art, using random shots of industrial components from work.

Just because it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Update:Mucking about with candles and sparklers on Audrey’s birthday,(with full safety precautions, obviously) I made some more abstract images that I rather like:
