Allows Edits? YesI Recently Entered a local Art Through Photography contest, they do challenges every third month, and then have a little show in the basement off our local movie theater for 60 days.
The theme this month was to take a mundane photograph and by mirroring the image between 1 – 4 times, they keept it to basic adjustments like highlight, shadows, whites, blacks, clarity, sharpening, gaussian blur, contrast ,vibrancy , and saturation, resizing, rotation and crop are allowed as well. They tried to keep it to basic functions for those without advanced editing capabilities
You had to display the original as well as the finished piece.
I thought it would be fun to recreate that here.
The sponsors of this contest own a printing shop and all entries were printed at 24 x 36 poster size and are offered for sale if you so wish the last 10 days of the show, they of course get 25% to help fund the contest, they Own the movie theater above as well.

Allows Edits? YesNice Twirls Marty, Twirls would have been more manipulation then the contest allowed, they tried to keep it to basic adjustments like highlight, shadows, whites, blacks, clarity, sharpening, gaussian blur, contrast ,vibrancy , and saturation, resizing, rotation and crop are allowed as well. They tried to keep it to basic functions for those without advanced editing capabilities.I’ll post this up top as well for clarification on the instructions. I do however love the twirls from this color pallet.

Wow, I love what you did with the crop of this ship! Looks like you turned it into a submarine. Excellent perspective, it looks enormous!

Hi Robert, I just realized I’m still down the “twirl” rabbit hole! Sorry about that, I’ll see if I can come up with a mirrored mundane shot. : )

Great original shot & the mirrored one was so surprising, it made me laugh! Looks like a hot lava monster in a horror flick 😀 Positively brilliant!

As a learning experience, here’s a “quadruplicated” floral for pattern, colors & symmetry.

Wow, go Patrick! That’s fantastic, I think the Devil made you do it lol. The tiny “Neptune’s tridents” sticking out around the center are great fun

Hi Patrick, another fantastic holiday riff! Love it, thanks : )
How do you make the radiating segments like that, or can you point me in the right direction for technique?
-
Yeah sure , if you get that program Krita i posted the link to and once installed go into filters and select the G’MIC filter plugin , you have over 100 filters in here just select one of the 3 kaleidoscope filters and play around with your image , sometimes one half of the kaleidoscopic result with be a little blurry if that happens .. Save the result make a copy of that and place on top of the first finished layer then using the marque tool cut the blurry section away and rotate the sharp part and position on top of the first layer again , this will give you 2 halves that are sharp , finish off by merging them two halves for one complete image .. sounds trickier than it is give it a go 🙂
If i get a chance i will try make a quick video for you so you can see 🙂
-
Perfect, thanks so much! I had downloaded Krita but hadn’t gotten around to trying it out yet. I also see you posted a video just now, much appreciated! I can’t wait to try it out

A quick video for you Marty , hope it helps 🙂

Absolutely beautiful Marty , these look stunning it makes me happy you got sorted with krita , You picked two great shots to work with 🙂

Hi Patrick, thanks again for getting me started with Krita! So glad you enjoyed my first attempts, I’m having so much fun with it. No rules lol : )
And I must say your avatar dog looks very dapper with his Santa hat, very cool. Happy holidays to you!

Happy holidays to you and your family Marty have a safe and lovely time 🙂

I just showed my originals with Krita creations to my spouse. He said, “Looks like someone just smoked a bag of weed!” LOL

Well I just flicked through that lot, and there are some awesome pieces in there, but I have to admit you have confused the F out of me! I have no idea how you achieved these?

The secret sauce is Krita (free software). Patrick spelled out the instructions above to get started. Happy holidays from all of us in the rabbit hole! Let the games begin LOL
-
Totally spectacular Marty , you have well and truly mastered these , best one i seen Yet 🙂
Imagine this pattern printed on a real world item .. The possibilities are endless.
-
Thanks so much, Patrick, that means a lot & I appreciate your feedback! I’m enjoying this tremendously, I am playing at creating floral patterns with symmetry. Everything gets better with practice, I’m a big believer in that!
-
For Beaky who just joined us, the above shot started with my original of eucalyptus bark. Using PS Elements, I tweaked it with radial blur & twirl for #2. Now using Krita, I used kaleidoscope (symmetrical) with the above result. The possibilities are endless!

Cool mirrored image, Robert. Could you kindly explain what mirroring 1 to 4 times means?
-
Wow, very cool Robert, thanks. I really like the 3rd one. I’ll look around LS and the web to see what PS commands people use for these effects.
Merry Christmas!
