Concrete Abstract #3


One last post for today, a rough patch on a wall being grazed by afternoon light.

Concrete Abstract #2


Another concrete "find". This is a puddle of water on a sidewalk reflecting sky.

Concrete Abstract #1


One of my favorite abstraction subjects is plain old concrete. I caught this section of wall while taking my brand new AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens out for some exercise.
Technical: Nikon D700, ISO 200, 50mm f1.4G, f/8.0 @ 1/1000s. RAW file processed in Lightroom 2.4, applied Nikon Landscape preset and Vignette.
