Abstract 8-21

Late evening play with mirrors. I was reading about photographer Alven Langdon Cobum and vortographs..including bouncing viewpoint off mirrors. I'm not sure what that means really, but played with some mirrors to get this image.

Looks like you had fun here. Vortograph- off to look that word up.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond This was fun...and I was too tired/lazy/uninspired to go out looking at architecture or engineering or whatever, so easier to play at home!

I love this idea - it opens up so many possibilities Yours looks great.. And what a wonderful name - vortograph!! Sounds like a positive vortex of lines...

[JackieR]

@robz its a kalaidiscope effect , see what I dfid @granagringa I looked on Mr Google!!! Now where are my mirrors?????

[Rob Z]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Must have a look!! Sounds like good fun. :)

Whatever you read, if it led you to this, I would say it is worthwhile. I really like the lack of symmetry in this but the way the two halves link.

[Call me Joe]

Cool concept and thanx for the new word-vortograph!

[Laura]

Very cool.

[Granagringa]

@robz @robz @helenhall it is so much fun to see your reactions and to see shots from you. Who also like to play and experiment! Fun with smoke & mirrors...or in this case just mirrors.

[Granagringa]

@joemuli thanks, Joe... haven't sussed out how to a vortigraph yet, but mirror play and refraction are pretty cool!

[Granagringa]

@bkbinthecity @lstasel Thank you ...glad you liked this!

[Marcy]

Fun shot! I can't really tell what's what here. That's not a criticism, by the way. It really draws me into the shot.

[Granagringa]

@marcy0414 ah cool...glad you got drawn in...that is one of the goals of abstracts I think...btw...hand mirror, light switch, small jug all reflected back in wall mirror and the hand mirror itself...Doubt if I could set it up again...lol

[Chris Johnson]

This is awesome, I really like the way the everything refracts off the mirrors!

[Granagringa]

@cjphoto thanks so much...I love when you words like "awesome"!!!
