Yes, more experimenting. For this post I have taken one image, applied my ‘kl2i’ art effect to it and then experimented with different ‘sphere-type’ projections.
First I show the starting image of flowers and foliage as taken by the camera using ‘bendy glass’ along with my ‘kl2i’ art effect. Drag the slider to see the underlying starting image:
Here are two ‘sphere projections’ using different viewpoints. Drag the slider to hide and reveal the two images:
These next two images are of the same ‘view’ of the sphere but using different sphere processing. As before, drag the slider to hide/reveal:
This next pair are, again of the central ‘cross’ but processed differently:
And finally this image blew me away when I first saw it – not what I was expecting:
This is now the wallpaper on my mobile devices and the desktop on my PC. I just hope I can remember how I processed it…
