I`ve been reading a book by Freeman Patterson on seeing, this is what I`ve seen so far. You can shoot landscapes only so much of the time. Time to expand.
Idea from a magazine, saw it, liked it, worked it. Just simple folded paper and an L.E.D. torch. Camera on a tripod, manual focus, two minute time. Very little editing because I liked the result as it stands..thanks for looking :-)
I did use a photograph of a sunflower in this piece, although it did not make it through the filtering process as recognizable. Connections...that is what ultimately inspired this one.
abstract digital art:
all elements of this image were created by me
I've had an idea about painting on canvas and then using a needle to poke through the canvas and add threads to the image. It's fun to try it digitally to see what it might look like. My idea was to have the threads all hang vertically and be lose at the bottom. It seems that horizontal threads would either have to be stretched straight across the canvas or hang in lose arcs unless I stitch in and out of the canvas to made them wavy. Or perhaps I can have the threads cross over each other, so it is impossible to tell which thread is which.
October 19, 2018: I've finally gotten around to woking on a handmade work based on this image. It is actually quite different in color, composition and even in the shape of the canvas (square). Once it is completed, I'll take a photo and post it, then add a link to it here. It will probably take me a few more days to complete it.

Taken at The Town of Beacon Falls Fireworks
July 9th, 2011
Beacon Falls, CT
I'm not going to go and ruin your future experimentation by giving you step by step instructions on how I did this (incase you feel inspired by this in any way), but i'll at least tell you that I did NOT use Photoshop to create this. I used only my tripod and camera.
I was getting kind of bored shooting photographs of single bursts of fireworks, at this past year's 4th of July's firework display. I wanted to capture the fireworks from a completely different perspective, and luckily, I feel like i was more than successful in doing so.
I started getting experimental as the shutter was being held open, and I couldn't have been more amazed, or more surprised to see this abstract image on the LCD. I began taking a whole bunch of shots similar to this, until I finally nailed the effect of what i wanted to do, and how I wanted to do it. I pointed my lens towards the general area where most of the fireworks were bursting at, and i guess I just timed this perfectly to be able to pull it off... even better and more interesting than I had expected.
