So here we are at the end of the month, and somehow at the end of the year – at the exact same time too, who’da thought? I admit to shooting extremely little this month, and even less that could be considered ‘abstract’ that I did not, thoughtlessly, already feature. I did toy around with freezing soap bubbles again when the temperature dropped low enough, but was not achieving satisfactory results and so they shan’t appear here – especially since I didn’t even get far enough to warrant taking any photos.<\/p>\n

But we need something, so I selected a handful from earlier months that never got featured then. Lazy, I know, but c’mon, there’s been some decent content this year – you can’t have it all.<\/p>\n

\"raindrops
One of the late spring rains left behind some residue on the ginkgo leaves, not long to be around now that the sun was out.<\/p>\n

\"green
A close crop from a wider scene, this barely counts as abstract, but you know, if you’re looking for the quality<\/em> abstracts, those come with the Premium Membership, which also includes a goody bag and part of this nutritious breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"low-hanging
In deep shade and probably set for brighter, more contrasty light, this composition is a nice accent but a bit muted – let’s see what we can do about that.<\/p>\n

\"same
Much better – now it looks like a soft drink can. Which is just the kind of thing you come here for.<\/p>\n

And finally, one that really is<\/em> from this month, the precursor to the holiday. Not, not that<\/em> one, the proper one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"holiday
I wasn’t really wowed by any of these, mostly because I found the LEDs tended to have overpowering blues and purples. Which is funny, because the incandescent holiday lights tend to have weak<\/em> blues. Maybe I’ll market a set of lights, carefully balanced in output, specifically for photographers to mess about with. You’d buy a few sets, right?<\/p>\n

There’s still time, so perhaps I can sneak in a proper abstract later on today, or maybe something else entirely, No guarantees – this means I don’t actually have any plans for such, much less a post waiting in the wings (that’s a bloggers’ secret.) But maybe.<\/p>\n

Until then, enjoy yourself today, celebrate wisely, pick a random time during the day to consider it a whole new year (why not?), and I thank you for coming by!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
