Abstract Photography

These two images are actually from last year but back then I didn't have a photography blog up and running, and I wanted to include them because abstract photography is not something I've explored much to date. I had great fun playing around with lighting and focus to create these abstracts that I really like due to their bold, colourful and graphical qualities. In many ways they look like a coloured spotlight, then when you take another look you see something else, perhaps a brightly lit out of focus plant stem? Of course I know what they really are but that would be telling!
