This is a late entry for Get Pushed Round 8. I spent much of this past week sick and homebound and feeling uninspired. Yesterday was the first day I was feeling up to trying to meet the challenge.
My partner was Huub Zeeman. Before he sent me my challenge, I looked through his stream and admired the way he uses line and shape is his photographs, especially in his architectural photographs, but line and shape influence everything he does, even his portraits!
So his challenge to me seemed appropriate:
"As far I can see, most of your photos do have a one to one relationship with reality. An apple is an apple, a girl is a girl and so on. That's a great way of taking pictures, nothing wrong, but I think you can make a picture that's beyond of that way of looking.
"I want you to take an abstraction out of a thing you see in reality. Just by altering your point of view or zooming in to the subject! You don't have to think of making an 'abstract", just think abstract while taking the picture!"
Maybe it was because I was sick, but I found this a real challenge!!! At first I was thinking modern and architectural, like some of the photos I admire in his stream, and it took me a while to get past that (not much modern architecture where I live). Then I was looking for interplays of light and shadow, but we haven't had much sun recently (and I've been stuck inside), so that wasn't working.
I finally decided to go with what I know well, which I think is color and depth of field. I tried to get beyond the idea of looking at things as they are and just look for the possibilities of interesting color and interesting bokeh. That seemed to work for me.
This is one of the photos I came up with. I hope it fits, Zuub.
I'm taking Round 9 off from Get Pushed, but my last partner, Lynn Nord, and I just spent a few days picking the winners of the Round 8 Get Pushed Trejack Award. If you are a member of the Get Pushed group (or even if you aren't), please go look at that discussion in the Get Pushed group to see who we picked and why.
The cable stop on my 1996 Lemond Zurich rod bike. This bike is made from Reynolds 853 tubing. Though over 20 years old and with spots of rust this bike is still in use today and my primary road bike. Such a beautiful bike…and one that I will never part with. Here's to another 20 years.
a rusted water thing? in the middle of the park. The beautiful park used to be a golf course. so glad that they decided to preserve the land and keep it a wide open space. (10/365)
At one time, shiny, gleaming and looking all fancy-like down there by the lake but, as an elder Scots woman might say in her Glasgow accent, turning her nose up at the sight of a lady parading herself down the street, as if she were all that, "...she's no better than she ought to be."

Interesting pattern and texture on this metal plate - part of some type of drilling equipment. My granddaddy and some of my uncles owned a water well drilling business and also worked in oil fields many years ago. Just a random item I found on a visit to the family ranch back in September 2020.
In Dimmit County, Texas.
