The Angle Of The Angel by David McMahon

This shot of my home city, Melbourne, looking across Princes Bridge and the Yarra River, was taken exactly two years ago, on a freezing cold winter’s day in 2007. I was standing at the parkland known as Birrarung Marr, photographing Deborah Halpern’s Angel when I realised that if I stood under the 30-foot tall (almost 10 metres) work of art , I could actually use its shape as a triangular frame for the cityscape. The perspective was perfect for me to include the city’s second-highest building, The Rialto. “Angel” was commissioned in 1987 for Australia’s Bicentennial celebrations the following year. Then in 2006 it was painstakingly moved from the south moat of the NGV (National Gallery Victoria) to its present spot at Birrarung Marr. I honestly don’t think this unusual shot would have worked as well in bright, sunny conditions – but come summer and I’ll shoot the same frame from exactly the same spot to find out, so watch this space! I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F9.5, 1/250 sec, ISO 200, focal length 50mm.

About This Group

Art that uses real images as the starting point for abstract art. The image should still be somewhat recognisable, yet still be abstract.

So no pure realism and no pure abstraction. The image must be somewhere between those two. Standing in both camps.

Please do not put in more than two pieces a day, if you submit more than two works all will be rejected. Please be selective with the works you add and only submit your best pieces that conform to group rules. There is no limit to the number of works accepted. Resubmission of the same piece multiple times once it has been rejected will result in removal from the group. Taking out a pieces and resubmitting multiple times will result in it being judged more critically each time.

Please read the rules before posting images.
