I'm trying out some IR (infra-red ) photos in my back yard, and took a boring shot and turned it into a lovely kaleidoscope. (Tammy's action)

Image 1 -- k-scope

Image 2 -- post processed image -- channel mixer correction after masking foliage

Ditto CJ, did the same yesterday...also in the garden but didn't like my results at all. Good for you being so innovative and creative however with yours. Well done. Looks lacy too!

Neve · #**169** 01-26-2005, 03:24 AM

Interesting CJ, thanks for showing what you did first!

p.s. Just had a thought about a filter I used last year to design some lacy doillies...it's called Make-a-Flake from Xero Filters.

It may interest K-scope fans?

Neve -- let's both get OUT of the yard and try some IR on something scenic with big expanses of sky, foliage, and other things to show off the IR effect! It's hard to get myself away from the stuff that I'm supposed to be doing to do photography...

Neve · #**171** 01-26-2005, 03:37 AM

I'm on my way to join you.

..I've only had a dig cam a short while but keen to explore IR further for certain. I only have one filter so far and need to find out about others I should have for this type of photography.

Oh no you don't. The last thing I need is another kaleidoscope plugin or action. I've become so addicted to them that I'm turning everything into circles.

Seriously, thanks Neve. I'm going to have lots more fun now.

I'll take a look at the Sinedots filter also.

If you're happy CJ so am I....

Being a crochet afficianado, as well as a collector of antique crochet doilies, I gave this a shot.

Start with the first image, then select the scribbles and run sculpture on it with an ecru color light. This makes it look like ecru crochet cord. Then run the image through PSP8 kaliedoscope with 20 petals, then change the parameters other than petals, just ever so slightly and run again. Voila! A doily my grandmother would have been proud of.

Oh man Amy. I have no adjectives for your doily. My grandmother would also have been very proud of that one. I'm a handspinner. I would love to have a pattern like that to use for my handspun cotton. WOW

Janet

Neve · #**178** 01-29-2005, 11:09 PM

Agh...you clever person Amy. I've done quite a bit of this type of crochet and this is so very real looking. Well done.

Janet Petty · #**179** 02-01-2005, 06:07 PM

One more. This one was done with old barn wood.

CJ Swartz · #**180** 02-01-2005, 10:06 PM

Janet -- I love this one a lot! I wish it were a real piece of wood that could be hung on my wall. To me, it seems both contemporary and rustic -- mixed beautifully.
