Kaleidoscope

When I talk about my pictures I often mention that I want to hang them on the wall. I want them to be worthy of taking the time to frame them and look at them daily. When I say things like that I have pictures of the Smokey Mountains, the beach, or Yellowstone in my mind. However, the effect I played with has turned some plain pictures into some cool abstract art.

The first picture I did this with is of the red doors on St. Johns Lutheran Church downtown. The doors have always stood out to me so I thought I would take a picture. Initially I was going to try to remove the silver signs from the door. That turned out to be a big failure so I kept trying other effects. Below is the original picture.



I used the kaleidoscope effect and thought the results were neato.



Since the red doors turned out so cool I tried it on a picture of my backyard.



If you look really closely you can see the trees on the “arms” of the kaleidoscope.



The last picture I did this to was the macro picture of the purple flower.





All in all I think this a really cool effect.
