I am an amateur photographer whose photography is mostly of gardens, nature and the rural environment. My specialities are close-ups, panoramic views, or a combination of both that I call 'Nearscapes'. I work mostly for my own interest having closed my business PM Studios Ltd.

Crinum Lily Flower Portraits as Sphere images

I have been taking some more photos of flowers and processing them into sphere images – in this case Crinum Lily in my wife’s garden. I have been quite pleased with some of the results.

I will start with a ‘straight’ and a sphere version of the flower using the comparison slider. Drag the slider to show/hide the images:

A straight version of the pink crinum lily
A sphere version of the same image

This next pair shows a similar view of the same flower:

A second straight view of the crinum lily
A sphere version of the same image

The following pair are the same sphere image as above but been processed with my art effects (‘kl2’ and ‘kl2i’):

My ‘kl2’ art effect applied the previous sphere image
This is my ‘kl2i’ art effect applied the same sphere image

I can never tell how these turn out – I am reasonably happy with this set…
