Psychedelic nightmare

Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, get beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.

 

I created this psychedelic image using a neural network designed to recognize patterns and objects in images. The original photo is an HDR image of an abandoned silver mine in Colorado I posted earlier this year. It looks kind of creepy, nightmarish, doesn't it?

 

 

Google uses this neural network algorithm to find similar images. They wrote the Google Research blog "Inceptionism: Going Deeper into Neural Networks" describing the process. They followed up with another blog, "DeepDream - a code example for visualizing Neural Networks ", explaining how this can be done with code examples.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW long exposure, then applied Google's DeepDream neural network to get these psychedelic faces.
