Since I received my Nikon a couple years ago I have taken literally millions of pictures. I have learned that the perfect shot is usually a thing of luck and timing. One can go out with the full intent of doing some great photography and come home with maybe a couple or maybe nothing at all. I think that is one of the elements of photography that drives those who love it so; attempting to take that perfect picture.
I have gained an intense love for attempting this feat in nature. Trying to grasp that beauty that we see on an everyday basis if we look. Flowers are another of my passions thus they are part of my portfolio in a grand way.
I am not a fan of photo shop as I want the pictures quality to be there because of my attempt yet there are times when I dabble in it for fun. One of the attributes of Photo shop I love is the ability to make kaleidoscopes with a chosen photo. Who does not remember this novelty of older times? A tube put up to the eye and when twisted showed beautiful variations of color and design.
My flower photos have shown to be a wonderful tool for such things. The wonderful thing about photo shopping a kaleidoscope is that the photo does not have to be perfect. The imperfection can not be seen. I thought for ABC Wednesday I would share some of my photos which I have worked over. Being a symmetrical person myself I love how the photo is taken and proportioned perfectly giving color and design to each attempt. I have even taken a few other photos and played with them. Below are a couple of kaleidoscopes of something other than flowers. Can you guess what it may be..
How About this One?
The possibilities are endless.
