It is important to remember that photography is an art form and that there are plenty of ways to get creative when you take a photograph. Abstract images allow you some artistic license with exposure, composition, and style (Figures 8.12 and 8.13).
Figure 8.12. The sunrise reflecting off the water provided a great opportunity for an abstract.
Figure 8.13. A slow shutter speed and slight vertical panning were used to capture these trees.
