Things To Know About Abstract Digital Photography

By Angela Briggs


In this digital age, there are a lot more opportunities to create an interesting photograph than there were, before. Obviously, a digital camera means that it is much easier to take vacation pictures and holiday pictures. However, abstract digital photography is something that is easier to explore than ever before.

What this means is using various tricks and methods to create a unique and interesting picture. There are several different things that you can experiment with to give something that would usually be fairly ordinary or boring a fascinating spin. To begin with, one thing you can do is play with perspective.

The subject can be given a different look when the picture has been taken from another angle. You can, here, work on showing the subject in a way that it would not usually be seen in. It could be that this is done when you take the picture from the top or the bottom. A small object can appear large, which can, potentially, change the qualities that are most visible when it appears to be smaller.

Making a large object look smaller will, of course, be harder to achieve but, if you do, then you will find that this can go both ways. An altered perspective means that different things stand out. Texture is also something that you can play with, here, especially with distance, as well. A close-up will let you see the subject in its detail. It might no longer look like you think it should.

It is entirely a different object through this new view. You also, of course, have color to play with, too. Mood and tone can be manipulated through the use of color, and you can also play with things like focus, here, too. Since this is abstract, realism is not something that you have to adhere to, here, and so you can experiment. A contrast or a mood can be created, here, by matching various different tones.

Things could also be shown in colors that you are not used to seeing on them. This can make a very drastic difference to their usual appearance. Another thing to take a lot at is selective focus, and it, of course, is something specific to working with cameras. With this, you are able to filter through to a specific area of the subject.

Maybe you would even like this to be a section of the object that would not usually get a lot of focus, and this could give it that very different appearance. This works by blurring most of the picture and giving that particular point much sharper definition. You can also use this with other things such as color. A contrasting or similar shade could be used for the background that could help manipulate the focus, further.

Shapes can also be of use, here, too. The appearances of the subject can change quite a lot with the right application of light or perspective. To highlight curves or straight lines, you can use contrasting shapes to do so. Have a look around to find different ideas for methods that can be used to make the unique photos you want to with abstract digital photography.
