ODC2 - Our Daily Challenge - Deliberate Blur Abstract.

This is Intentional Camera Motion/Movement or ICM

Thank you to everyone who commented and faves this shot, I really appreciate it :-)

Added to the Group "What iz it" for guessing what was the subject of this photo

Shadows and light have fascinated me for as long as I can remember, even as a child. So it isn't surprising that Paul Strand's photography excites and exhilarates me! Strand was one of the defining masters of early American modernist photography. He was also influenced by Edward Weston and Alfred Stieglitz.

I could have chosen many of my recent photos for this exercise on shadow and light, but I chose this one because it is different and I like the surreal feeling it has.

This was taken on an outside terrace. When I looked up, I could see big slabs of plain concrete above my head, but what really grabbed me were the shadows from the out of sight, striped canvas awning creating shadow stripes on the concrete as if they had been painted there. I could have cropped this, but just loved the reflection of the inside lights reflected on the big glass front - like other-worldly dots of energy seemingly floating in the sky!

This image empowers me and yet also allows me to dream! Leaving it in colour, gives a certain lightness to it, thanks to the space of light blue sky

Or, the continuing search for the perfect abstract…..

This is a photograph of the Salix Yelverton plant taken during an early Spring walk around Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park. Despite the time of year the gardens were full of colour and the abstract depicts these colours well.

After a very long winter, it was nice to see reflection in water instead of ice and snow.

I'm not going to say what this is right away. I will say that it was shot at a Flickr Meet at the Dog's Bollocks on April 21st.
