Abstracts with the 105 VR...

I just finished reading a book by Freeman Patterson titled "Photographing the World Around You". I highly recommend this book!

In any event, it inspired me to start looking at some ordinary things a little differently. This afternoon, I took a closer look at an item that's been sitting on my coffee table.

Here are a few of the photos (captured with the D700 and 105 VR):

1- Green and red bars

NIKON D700    ---    105mm    f/3.5    1/20s    ISO 200

2- Stacks of glass

NIKON D700    ---    105mm    f/10.0    1/3s    ISO 200

3- Glass ribbons

NIKON D700    ---    105mm    f/16.0    1/20s    ISO 200

4- Flames of glass

NIKON D700    ---    105mm    f/16.0    1/15s    ISO 200

5- Glass stacks

NIKON D700    ---    105mm    f/3.3    1/10s    ISO 200

Thanks again for looking...

Thank you Brad. I wasn't sure what kind of reaction these photos would generate. I'm glad that you enjoyed them.

In Freeman Patterson's book, he discusses the building blocks of visual design:

Light: the raw material, lines, shape, texture and perspective...and how they can be put together to create balance, proportion, and rhythym in photos. I found it to be very interesting--and his photos are spectacular.

Thanks Robert...

I plan on capturing more abstact images in the future. I've done very little of this so far. But, it was a lot of fun.

Thank you Rich.

Yes...that's the book. It came highly recommended by one of the instructors of a photography seminar that I intended. I finally got around to ordering it (from Amazon) and reading it--and I found it to be very useful.

Thank you John

 

Thank you

 

Thanks Michael...

And, the object was just sitting in front of me on the coffee table all these years! That's the joy of macro.

Thanks Crystall...

I think I could get addicted to macro photography.

Peter,

Thanks for your comment. The 105 VR is also one of my most used lenses. I tend to carry it with me all the time.
