Ten Days of Reflection, day Ten point five – Artificial Kaleidoscope Two

in tendaysofreflection •  7 years ago 

By popular demand, lol, I created this extra reflection picture on the recommendation of @madushanka. Thank you much for suggesting this be created and providing the original orchid picture from your neighbors garden @madushanka.

This rendered image was done with a bit more of a symmetrical layout. There are now six reflections of ‘Metal Kitty’ instead of five. I think the image is a bit more pleasant to look at this way and I like the way the cat seems to be sneaking in a look from each of the four corners.

I would like to animate this at some point but it does take a lot more effort. These were just a couple initial pictures that I created and there seems to be a lot of room for trying out different variations.

I liked this picture too but felt like it could be improved by cleaning up some of the lines made where the images come together. It didn’t feel as smooth as the other image to me.

Very nice and beautiful.. Regard

I am always so fascinated by kaleidoscope images and this one is perfect for spring!

wow very cool dear friend ... !! i really like 3d pictures

Thank you! I've been into it 3D graphics for some time, there are so many interesting things you can do with it.

Wooow Picture have a pleasant effect for eyes it provide a cool effect
Thanks for sharing these photos These have a real reflection and you have a great skills of photography keep it up
I wish you all the best hope you will share more photos like this cool

Thank you! I'm enjoying making these so I'm sure I'll post some other things too.

No worries! i always wait for your post keep it up

i miss you @lightsplasher, i don't know a lot about the reflection of your photography, but i just thank that the color purple is my favorite, and my daughter love it, you are always my best teacher in my life.

Your work is beautiful, so is the idea of the reflection challenge. Worth taking, really. I'm at a loss somewhere - you talked of a cat?

In the picture there is a cat statue that is rendered with 3D software. I made the 3D model myself and have featured it in a few of the last posts. I guess it must be hard to spot because of the patterning of the picture. The original piece that the 3D model is made from, is made of carved stone. My mom purchased it somewhere in or around Egypt and gave it to me after one of her trips. I've been calling it 'Metal Kitty' because of the way the software is making it look after adjustments on lighting and image quality.

Never saw such a purple orchid, I love it!

Me too! The purple is a really neat color. I'm tempted to get another orchid, mine are all the same color.

This is more spectacular than your existing results solve the perfect challenge in the form of a triangle line

I do like the way the triangles form in this image. I am a bit tempted to clean up the image a bit in a few areas though.

I think the current rendered image has superb pattern, better than the last one. You sure got talent in design!

If you didn't mention about the metal kitty, I wouldn't have noticed it!

Thank you! I'm thinking about trying a few other different ways of making the reflections, there are many possibilities. I've got a few different 3D objects I might use and of course there are endless photography images that might look nice.

very nice photography comrades, and beautiful orchids with a unique color, I resteem yes and upvote.

Thank you.

That turned out cool. Well done.

With the cats popping out of the center, kind of reminds me of those fake bullet hole decals people would put on their cars!!

Lol, it does kind of remind me of that, now that you mention it. Thanks!

wow Orchid flowers are beautiful, I love the Orchid flower.

Nice pictures! It must be fun to have these flowers growing in your yard. It is too cold right now for much to be flowering where I am at. Some recent snow froze the nettles that were just coming out before I got a chance to harvest them. Spring will be coming soon though, I can feel it.

very happy if i was there
Hopefully again the flowers will grow after the snow is over.
it will be beautiful in time.
thanyou🌹🌷

This post very amazing. This flower very nice. Thanks for share my friend @lightsplasher.

@lightsplasher is the best
amazing funny Well, I finally made it through the ten days of posting reflection images, woot! Granted they were not concurrent days but I still feel a certain sense of accomplishment. Hopefully I can check this challenge off my todo list - for now at least. It was very fun and inspirational to be focused in creating reflection images. I'm glad the suggestion was made to try it out.

For my last image I made an artificial Kaleidoscope type pattern using software. This is my first attempt at trying something like this. The pattern is not completely symmetrical and next time I may try adjusting the mirror placements in different angles to see what forms of patterns.:-):-):-)!

Great post @lightsplasher. This post very interest and useful... the color of the flowers is very beautiful.

The best photogtaphy my friend.

Wooow amazing photography.
