My Get Pushed partner challenged me to try vortography. I did use her link to start the research and continued on to a few others to look at images taken this way and how they were done. What I discovered is that it would be a lot easier if I'd had a photographer's helper to hold the prism while I shot through it. I used 3 mirrors taped together in a triangular shape. I shot through the tube at the flower. I did come up with some interesting effects although my focus was a bit off in a lot of the shots I took. Put this mirrored tube on the shelf in hopes I'll remember to use it again in the future.
This one turned out really well! It must be very difficult to get the focus right on the subject and the mirrored subjects but I think you did a terrific job.
@grammyn You're correct about the focus. I threw out a number of photos for that reason alone. They were too blurry. Thank you Katy. @pandorasecho I have a kaleidoscope looking photo program on my phone but It has too many reflections I thought. I also had a kaleidoscope that reflected and refracted whatever I looked at (no colors) that I thought about trying to use. Again, too many of them. Thanks for your views and comments Dixie. @digitalrn Thanks so much Rick. @olivetreeann Thanks Ann. You know I was dreading it, but sort of enjoyed it. I kept the mirrors taped together thinking I might try it again one day. @30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you so much Jackie. @wakelys Thanks Susan.
