I'm still trying to figure out a way to turn my vertical blinds into a round world, but in the meantime, I also came up with the idea of criss-crossing them with another set of blinds in the house. So here's the outcome of that experiment. I think I could see this hanging in an office building somewhere!
@ellimae Thank you Ellen! @kerristephens Thank you Kerri! @bkbinthecity Thank you Brian! Another set of blinds going horizontally and then tilting the photo changes everything up. @digitalrn Thank you Rick- Instead of straightening it, I tilted it in the post processing.
@ruthmouch Thank you Ruth! I'm surprising myself with the different takes on a single shot of window blinds! @la_photographic Thank you Laura! @sangwann Thank you Dione! @dakotaburns Thank you Donald! @smithak Thank you Smitha!
@eniaral Thanks Laraine! One of my followers challenged me to turn this shot into a "little world". That is a circular picture that looks like a miniature world in one continuous circle. They're really cool looking. I stumbled on this option as I was playing with the straightening tool on Ribbet. I liked the diagonals I created and thought it would look interesting with lines going across as well. I play with these things way too long!!
@joannapayne Thank you Joanna! @automaticslim Thanks Andy! It's been one that has leant itself to the abstract or graphic. Not too many natural applications for this one! @nadaa Thank you Nada!
interesting angle. i've been wanting to do an orb, or little planet, but i understand that you either have to have photoshop or have an iphone that has that particular app. in both cases, i can't be bothered. but i am told that gimp is an online program/app that is very much similar to photoshop so maybe you should make a go of it. been meaning to try gimp but i'm not really interested in going into any full scale processing apart from the minor ones that are offered by ribbet or ipiccy.
@deniseinindy Thank you Denise! @summerfield Thank you Vikki! I am mostly in your camp. I don't want to be so sucked into the processing that I loose the skills of a good photographer- because my tendency would come to "Oh I'll just fix that in processing" and I'd get lazy. Gimp was recommended to me (with some hints that will take a dictionary for me to completely understand!!) and I might try it- just so I can say I did a little world. But that will have to be on one of those days when I am so totally out of ideas and hate everything I've taken a picture of! Because it will take me an entire day to figure it out!! @cimes1 Thanks Carole! This one sort is somewhat of a flashback in my mind to those graphic abstracts that were so popular in the 80's. If it was in color I think it would be mauve!!
You have boundless imagination and energy Ann, I think I'd run out of patience and time for this kind of in depth editing! Really edgy image, very modern and minimal.
@jackie8 Thank you Jackie- they don't really take as long as you might think since much of it is experimentation. The ones that take longer are those where I am placing a vector mask over another shot. Those have to be "traced" so to speak. That does take longer to make it look natural. But I have fun with it- and being unemployed, I do have a little time on my hands!
