It would be churlish to imagine that abstract is simply the idea of shooting something a bit unusual and hoping for the best. You have to remember that the fundamentals of photography still apply. If anything, things like framing, exposure and composition become even more vital. Due to the nature of the subjects you\u2019ll be photographing, you will find that you have to rely even more on these basic concepts to keep the viewer engaged. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019re likely to end up with a mess that many viewers will have a hard time processing.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_46878&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 420px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/26.-Lesley-Derbyshire.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-46878\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/26.-Lesley-Derbyshire.jpg\" alt=\"APOY 2015 Round 2 Going Abstract\" width=\"400\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/26.-Lesley-Derbyshire.jpg 533w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/26.-Lesley-Derbyshire.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/03\/26.-Lesley-Derbyshire.jpg?resize=267,400 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Photo by Lesley Derbyshire &#8211; Buildings<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Buildings<\/h3>\n<p>If you keep your eyes open, you\u2019ll find that abstract images are everywhere.

Take a look at this excellent shot from <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=1159&amp;page=1\">previous APOY<\/a> entrant Lesley Derbyshire. It\u2019s a simple shot, but one that works incredibly well.

Nature offers us all kinds of subjects, but it can sometimes be tricky to find a way of producing an image that is original and technically excellent. Here we see a perfect example of how to get it right. Chris Whitelaw took second place in our <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=1159&amp;page=1\">abstract round<\/a> from 2013 with this truly beautiful image.
