Your goal is to create and "Abstract" photo, abstract photography differs from normal photography in the point that it concentrates on form, color, line and texture above all else. In abstract photography, the subject is usually not readily recognizable, and the main point is to create an abstract image that is pleasing to the eye or speaks of pure "Art".

As this is an abstract contest, any subject will do, there are no limits to that, but the subject shouldn't be readily seen, just the abstract. Anything easily recognised is off theme. Let your imaginations run wild, but, the image has to be recorded IN CAMERA...this is not a Photo Shop contest!

Great one ! Very nice ! Could you explain how did obtain such a result ? A so neat front area (with the dark circles) and just behind it's so blurry... Or it's just your secret

Hi Artifakts, thx for the nice comment, and NO it ain't and shouldn't be a secret ;-D I just put the straws in a plastic cup and lit it from the bottom up. I used a macro (Lumix 45mm) with a very shallow DOF and focussed on just the rims of the straws. I played around with the light for quit some time to get this result. The only photoshop i did was saturated the colors. That's it, piece of cake
Well author, congratulations ! It's just a perfect use of your tools ! The render, the light, the mood, the ambiance are amazing ! Great job ! Good luck
This is obviously done by putting one mirror in front of another, and it seems to me that the place, where the shot was taken, isn't very large.. Just thoughts =) Looking forward to know what it is!
These are my initial thoughts as well because of the straight-lined uniformity in reduction in size of the "lights" with the added innovation of mirrors on the side and thus we see the duplication in the faint mirrored lights behind the real lights. Just guessing of course.
Yes it's almost that... A tunnel of neon and black mirrors. At every horizontal line you see above there's a sliding black mirror. Every 5 minutes the first is sliding so you can see the reflections on the one behin ... and so on. Here the mirror is at the 6th line.
A "failed" picture with too long exposure time. I wanted actually to erase it first but luckily I recognized that the light is forming words and notes. :) (5 years and 2464 days ago)
