I'm posting a few more of the photo kaleidoscopes I've created. The one above was created from a photo of a holiday wreath.<br />

I love kaleidoscopes! I actually have a very nice one that I bought years ago and I love sitting on the patio and pointing it at the bright sky and seeing all the changing patterns. It must be my love of repeating patterns that draws me to these images. <br />
<br />

<br />
I have a piece of editing software on an old laptop that I don't use any longer that makes gorgeous kaleidoscopes from just about any photograph. That little tool is the only reason I keep that laptop around. I haven't been able to duplicate that particular piece of software.<br />

<br />
The top two photos were created from photos of flowers but, this last one is actually a set of patio table and chairs in yellow and blue. It makes an interesting set of patterns.

Last year I visited Stonehenge for the second time and I took a few of my photos from that day and applied some editing techniques to give them a new look. The one above has a modern sketch look.<br />

I've been terrible about posting my creations to this site. I just realized it's been two years since I posted anything. I'll try to do better. <br />
<br />
This one above is of my favorite fountain in London with a little creative touches.<br />

There is a little hidden garden/patio at the Heard Museum that is one of my favorite spots at the museum. There are beautiful Alan Houser sculptures displayed against a red wall. It makes for bold photos. I manipulated this one a little to give it an artistic look.<br />

<br />
Using a three second exposure against a black background, I used a pen light shining on the flower to "paint" it with light. <br />

<br />
For the past four years, I've belonged to an "Art Challenge" group. We challenge each other to a topic and each member creates a piece of art based on that topic. One of challenges four years ago was "Popcorn". I created the above image and called it "Cocktails at Orville's".<br />
<br />

<br />
Another challenge that first year was "Water". I called the above photo "Polished Water". I used my software to manipulate a photo of the water of a fountain. I love our art challenge group. It really gets you to think about the subject and get the creative juices flowing.Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.com1
