I learned this technique in an online photography class. Start with a shot of smoke rising from an incense stick, then flip/rotate multiple time in Photoshop. Add a color gradient. Some very cool images result. And no two are the same!

To avoid confusion with some group invitations, all of my images are created from blank. Any image from a photo is clearly marked as such.
This abstract is meant to represent duality, the contrast between the light and dark in all of us. Like the Roman god Gemini, there is two sides to everything.

This has been post processed (as if you can't guess) and I think a little guessing game would be fun BUT I know for a fact that there is no way you will guess correctly.
A couple of clues would be in order just so it isn't too hard.
It is a common product
It was shot at an angle
Used around the home although perhaps Australian homes more so
Background colour is changed but focus point isn't
Bill Gates had them
It's a glass louvre window on our house, taken at the usual "jaunty" angle. The line is the overlap of 2 pieces.

Challenge #41: Shape and color
I'm still playing with abstracts. I've been scoping out things at home, playing with light to get interesting shapes to appear.
After friendly feedback from the great guys and gals in #TwPhCh I've uploaded this alternative crop, which I think works much better at emphasizing the shapes.
Taken a while ago last year when it was warm and sunny, I put these on my hard drive to save for a rainy day edit session. Which we've been having a lot recently in England. After finally fine tuning my black and white presets in lightroom I'd thought I'd run a few through and am quite pleased with the results. I also seem to have an abundance of macro insect shots to go through, so watch this space.
