I've always been a big fan of design in my images - weddings or otherwise. Just grabbing a camera and shooting something other than brides is a good exercise for me to explore those abstract designs all around us. The abstract designs are not that way to begin with - most are simple, everyday things, that with the proper crop and further artistic treatment transform in to the final work of art. I'll walk you through the entire process - what I originally saw, how I approached it, how I shot it, and finally how I processed it to get to my finished result. It is not what it seems to be - what ever that was. When I saw the original scene, it was a nice series of harmonious lines that I thought would make a nice abstract B&W image. That was not to be. With a little bit of fiddling in Lightroom and with the final tweaks in Photoshop, I produced one of my favorite images of the day's shoot. Enjoy, David.
