Abstract Lighting
by Mark J

*** BEST VIEWED IN ORIGINAL SIZE ***

(smaller size will result in distorted details)

One livingroom light fixtures
turned into an abstract piece of art.
And for those who asked.....

The light fixture was photographed at close range in macro mode
At this close range, one only sees half the (round) fixture

I then painted the background purple (a nice contrast).

I then copy and pasted the image as a new layer,
then flipped the layer vertically...
leaving the appearance of two objects side by side.

I hope this helps in understanding what I did here?

1/160s f/4.0 at 10.6mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Very bold and fluid abstract, Mark. I also don't know how your mind comes up with these, but I'm delighted it does. Michael Puff

I still can't wrap my mind around this fixture to make heads or tails of it, but the lighting and composition are great. An excellent entry for both this and the previous (abstract) challenge. JoeSchmoe

Really nice abstract Mark, I like the way the purple swirl connects the lights.
