Final project for the semester - Abstract Photography

[Ms. Toad]

Cross posted in Artists

After my Junior Review, I was encouraged to focus even more on abstract images - so here is the final project for the semester (less the 5 which I posted earlier. (The Junior Review is essentially assent from a committee which reviewed my body of work so far that I have what it takes to complete a BFA in photography).

1. I was about to post

how much I love #2, then I saw #9. #9 is #1! They are all spectacular!

3. What an interesting collection. Very fun and interesting to look at and think about. Thanks for posting them.

4. You're welcome - and glad you appreciated them! n/t

5. Nos. 9 (for its contrasting planes) and 2 (for its selective and symmetric focussing) are my favorites Ms. Toad.

You do have a good eye for the abstract. I wish you well with your MFA!

[Ms. Toad]

6. Thank you!

I've been doing a lot of black and white with narrow focusing - and all of the reviewer wanted me to go father. So that's what I'm working on - for now.

(It's actually only a BFA I'm working on.)

7. You're Welcome! Black and white is fascinating. But, I think "only a BFA" is insignificant in the scheme of things.

A degree in the field you love is something to be proud of. I wish you all the best!
If I may ask, what camera(s) and lens(lenses) do you work with?

[Ms. Toad]

8. Most of the time, I use a Nikon D5000 with

A 60 mm Tamron macro lens. (All of these were taken with that setup.)

For B&W film, I use several setups. Mamiya C220 (twin lens reflex), large format (cobbled together - so not a specific brand), pentax K1000, and a Nikon 35mm - can't remember the model with a Nikkor micro 105 mm.
