Hello Hive friends, from all around the globe. December is crazy like always, but some photos were just screaming for editing and I am here to share them with you. For today's theme, I am choosing some abstract shoots. Abstract photography is one cool niche and the other is something very special when you capture a normal object closer and present it differently.
Crystals have a fascinating ability to interact with light, producing a variety of visual effects that captivate the eye and reveal the wonders of their internal structure. This interaction is governed by the arrangement of atoms in the crystal lattice, the material's transparency, and its refractive index.
When light encounters a crystal, it can be refracted, reflected, or diffracted. Refraction occurs as light slows down and bends when entering the denser medium of the crystal. This bending is what gives gemstones like diamonds and quartz their sparkling, multifaceted brilliance. The angles of refraction depend on the crystal's cut and the wavelengths of light, often creating a rainbow-like dispersion of colors. There is no brainer, why I use them for some abstract captures, from time to time.
On the other hand, Alliums can get very trippy when in bloom. Did you know that the spherical shape of allium flowers represents unity and wholeness, and in many cultures, they are considered symbols of prosperity and good luck?
If you remember, I already posted about how hardy nature can be. I didn't post this one, and somehow I find it quite interesting. Plants are growing out of the rock structure and making this amazing pattern-driven formation. Some plants rely on symbiotic relationships with fungi (mycorrhizae) to help them extract nutrients from rocky substrates. Fungi extend their hyphae into the cracks of rocks, breaking them down and sharing the nutrients with the plant.
Art is supposed to be amazing, so there is no trick here. Just pure capture and edit to maximize the effect. Hmmmm, UFOs or something else?
Why not finish with nature? Climbing plants amaze me as well. Especialy when they lose leaves and there are patterns with some mesmerizing shadows.
Well that's it for today's topic. Thank you very much for your attention and support. Without you, my camera would rest in the corner. See you next time with another theme.
Stay blessed
