Detail, Simplicity and Abstraction

[simon ess]

Today I went out with the specific idea of looking for shapes, forms and arrangements that I might normally overlook. I wanted to look closely at what's around me, rather than looking at the big picture, and try to find interest in what might be considered the mundane.

This is a small selection of photos I took. The rest are here, if anyone's interested.

Cheers.

Nice little project here to train your eye.

Of the set, I like #1, especially because of the green section upper right. #6 looks like a giraffe

Cheers.

#6 looks like a giraffe

Haha - so it does.

Well spotted!
It's very easy to overlook subjects like these.
I particularly like the cracked blue/green paint with the white showing underneath - you could make it into a Photoshop "texture."

Thanks folks.

I enjoyed doing it and I think I gained something useful from it.
