A Trip to the Zoo

Posted: 24th June 2011 by frank in Abstracts, Creativity, Photos

It’s been a quiet month for postings – my apologies… However..lots has been going on at this end (all good stuff) including the incubation of several ideas I’ll be sharing more about on the site soon… So watch this space 🙂

Last weekend, we went for a nice day out to Twycross Zoo (Its the world no. 1 place for primates you know !! So if you like monkeys, chimps, apes and other animals too, then its a great place to visit)

And of course as you might imagine, the camera was with me and plenty of animal pictures were taken…

However, I also started looking around with my “abstracts” eye (after seeing some very nice abstract art drinks coasters in the gift shop!) and took these:

(if you click on each one, you’ll see a bigger version):

       

I had a lot of fun taking them and also editing them afterwards… (another enjoyable part of the creative process)

And… just in case you thought I avoided the residents of the zoo…. here’s one sending his greetings to you 🙂

Why not try the postcode challenge at some point over the next week (5 photos, 30 mins, in your postcode area) BUT this time looking for abstract patterns that appeal to you… Post them up on the flickr site and lets see them !!

    I love the textures on your right hand picture (I won’t say what it is in case someone is struggling to identify it, and I do after all, have to exercise my mean streak periodically). There are so many surfaces that could be printed on successfully. Go Frank!
