the mac vortex...

[Corrie]

A real eye catching shot. A piece of art in its own right!

[KWind]

Very cool shot! The Twilight Zone has always scared me! I hated that show as a kid and when I hear the music today, the same feelings return!!

[Taffy]

Ooops...opened youtube and heard the music -- like Kim (kwind), still gives me goosebumps! Very interesting image -- the swirl and the angles are a great contrast.

[Kate Goring]

Crazy cool.

[AC]

Definitely view enlarge to take in all the wonderful details! This is fabulous! I have always loved the Twilight Zone, still watch it now, am a sucker for the marathons, and use several episodes in my classroom!

[AC]

Almost forgot... a fav for me!

@styru @gigiz - tethered ;p

[Kerri]

Awesome

[Maggiemae]

This is a camera lens at the centre? I sometimes feel such a nerd with your photos, Northie!

[☠northy]

@maggiemae nope! It's a picture in a picture in a picture in a picture in a pic....... I had the camera tethered to the laptop and so the screen shows the image as the camera sees it... Like being in a room w two mirrors where they reflect back on each other ad infinitum... Not sure if I'm explaining it very well I'm afraid

[Maggiemae]

I've got what you mean, thanks Northy! Good focus on the far away one!

[Mara]

Great effect, abstract spiralling....what's there at the deep end?

[emily tull]

woohoo!

[Jani M]

it's a time machine, you can see into the past in real time...

[Amy]

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

Awesome effect. Not sure exactly how you did it - heading off to google now :)

[Jim]

Love the geometric patterns and the graphic b/w. I could stare at this for hours

[Rik]

Great effect!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Ooh, I like. Can't believe it's not been photoshopped though! xx

[☠northy]

@psychographer ok - i do not for the life of me know how to explain this... i had my camera set up "tethered" to the laptop... effectively this (a) allowed me to control all the camera functions from the laptop and (b) the laptop screen became the camera liveview screen...

so what the camera saw was showing on the screen as it was happening... so if i pointed the camera at the pens (my other shot) i could blow the image up huge on the laptop screen and focus perfectly (well - as perfectly as my eyes will allow)...

and when the camera was pointing at the screen, it got weird... it saw the screen, so the screen showed me the screen it saw... and then because it now was seeing the screen within the screen, it showed me that - in the screen... ad infinitum... you could watch it "unfold" as it were...

the spiral bit was because i had the camera canted a bit...

this is one shot, with very minimal processing in lightroom... i was being lazy and even did the bw conversion in lightroom...

[☠northy]

@joa i'm lazy... it's been weeks since i went thru and deleted all the 365 notifications... ;p

[GiGi]

Yes...very clever, I didn't want to make to much of a fuss of shooting tethered at the time...but you got it go'in on straight up

[❀ Lynn]
