danalec99 said:But why do we shoot abstract pictures?
I find that when I make an abstract photo, I follow a very different thought process. Take say my soccer ball photo. As was mentioned, if I'm shooting the ball in the grass or in play, sure I'm trying to find a creative way to show it or to catch the action of it, but when I went to shoot the abstract shots, I took a very different thought process. I was looking for form, for line, for texture, for lighting, and seeing how those could all combine with a new view (the extreme macro) to take something ordinary and make it into something almost unrecognizable.
So I guess for me it's just exploring into that other realm of creativity, taking photography into a different direction.
