We found ourselves without our cameras in a beautiful building, took boring photos with our iPhones http://365project.org/jyokota/omake/2016-01-06 , and Taffy showed me a new (free) HyperDroste app that @rosiekerr had introduced to her so we used our intermission time to play with a photo app.
I'm not sure I understand the concept, but I LOVE this image, and I'm hugely jealous of the way in which you got to spend the evening. My day was beyond-mundane by comparison!
@graemestevens@Weezilou thank you for your comments. Did you see the one I posted without the lines? @Taffy likes the definition given by the black line but I worry it might look artificial . . . but then, who would ever think a swirly image of straight lines in a stairwell is natural? @Weezilou the Chicago Lyric Operahouse is absolutely stunningly beautiful and I hope we can photograph the interior in May!
I love both images Junko!! How exciting if we are going to get to see this in May!! You have such wonderful contrasts in architectural styles in Chicago - I can't wait!! Must check out the app!! Fav!
@jamibann@ceilidh@888rachel@pamknowler@westonjd - thanks for all your comments! The app is FREE and completely addictively fun, creating images that only use the original as source material. I really like @westonjd 's analysis that it's like a Dali -- what a great comparison!
What a cool shot, and I'm amused to see what some folks thought it looked like. To me, before reading the commentary, it looked like a very fancy piece of chocolate. Haha. Do you have a link to the application you used? It looks fun.
@skstein Would make for a VERY fancy piece of chocolate, right? Here's a link to the info on the app -- warning: VERY addictively fun. http://hyperdroste.com
@ladygator -- super fun, right? And so many ways to use it! I'm still working on figuring out the best way to create an alpha mask. That feature makes the original image merely a color palette!
So much fun! Glad you are enjoying the app.... you and @taffy are having some great results with it. I should practice more with it, myself. What a cool result. I like the black line, fyi, because it gives the image more structure.
