When considered in the artistic sense abstract photography can be difficult to achieve. This is because the medium itself is based on capturing a moment in time; it has a subject and a background and usually depicts something that is recognizable to the viewer. However, thanks to two different types of increases in technology it is now possible to create abstract photographs through the use of photo manipulation software and microscope cameras. Microscope cameras take photographs of things usually seen at a microscopic level and the range of different effects you can capture from taking photographs of seemingly ordinary items, like the wool on a jumper, a few grains of sand, or the details of a dead insect are endless.
In this book you are going to see a number of images plus a written commentary on the types of effects you can get with photo manipulation software - in this case Adobe Photoshop - and microscope cameras. As you will see from the examples given your ability to create abstract photographs is limited only by your imagination.
