Creative and Abstract
This gallery contains images of a wide variety of subject matter, and they attempt to present a more artistic or creative perspective to what is normally seen. The emphasis on colour, shapes and patterns, slow shutters speeds and unusual angles, for example, has been instrumental in producing these images. All of them are as taken by the camera: none have been produced by subsequent computer manipulation. And in most cases, the subject is still clearly identifiable.
