This subject was inspired by running across this article So What is Abstract Photography? and in particular the quote “If you show someone an example of your abstract photography and they say “wow, that’s a great photo….What is it?”, then you’ve nailed this genre of photography on the head!" . The article also has some good suggestions on how to look for ideas and subjects for abstract photography.
Black and White is quite well suited to abstract photography as it puts more emphasis on the shape of things. There are lots of examples but here's one I ran across that gives some examples of abstract black and white photographs from nature. Note the example of motion blur in a forest - a good example of how to turn the recognizable into the unrecognizable.
Black and White Abstract Photographs
Here are some examples I took - in all cases these are crops of larger images as I have a bad habit (from an abstract perspective) of including too much of the subject. The file names show what the subject was if you can't guess.
Have fun creating some abstract images and looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
