On a visit to an open air museum that had vintage vehicles I took some photos of headlamps and played around with these images using the ‘sphereising’ technique I have developed. It does give some strange effects.
First is a headlamp from a vintage bus with the original on the left and a ‘squared’ version on the right:


Next I show two sphere/ball version of the original image:


Next I am showing a headlamp from a vintage motorcycle with the original on the left:


Not one of the better sets of images but unless you try these things you will never learn what works and what doesn’t…
