Description

This natural design was lying right in front of me on the snow and it was a lovely winter gift. We just finished having one of the biggest snow storm since 1978 and it brought us about 24" of white powder. To my dismay it wasn't the heavy type, due to the temperature being so low. It went on for two solid days with very high winds that rendered our deck with four feet of snow. I really enjoyed the experience.

Form: Form refers to the shape of the objects in an image. Form serves as the framework upon which an abstract image is created. Basically, form creates the core of an image while color and curves add enhancements. Therefore, it is crucial that an abstract image start off with good form. This is done by choosing objects that have pleasing, interesting, or dynamic shapes.

Now, it might be tempting to want a definition or list of what makes for good form. However, it must be remembered that abstract photography is an instinctual art form -- people react to it emotionally not logically. Thus, it is essential that form be approached in the same manner. It is necessary to find objects with forms that create an emotional reaction. When one looks at an object and immediately reacts, "Wow, look at that", a strong form has probably been found.
