Cover graphic for "Brisbane Fringe Festival 1995" Event Guide

 

Having used the "Polar Coordinates" filter in PhotoShop since its introduction, I have enjoyed playing with this filter to see how far its anamorphic capabilities could be taken.

 

Originally designed to distort images that would be applied as surface-mapping in 3D software, its other use mimicked the "magic cylinder" anamorphic art that was popular during the late-19th century. (Take an image, apply the rectangular to polar setting. Print your image and place a mirrored cylinder in the middle of the image to restore the original in its reflection.)

 

My image was created by filling a square with 9 fields of colour on a black background (based on a logo I designed for a local Fringe Festival). I then proceeded to use the polar coordinates filter combined with a series of 90º and 180º rotations. I also used the ripple and wave filters to distort my image intermittently between the use of the polar coordinates filter and subsequent rotations.

 

After masking the splattered shape and removing the usual residue that is created from duplicated pixels at an image's edges, I applied the plastic-wrap effect filter, two separate glows (one for the outside shape and another for the round glow behind) and a lens flare to come to the final result.

 

Regrettably, many of my original files were lost a number of years ago and all that remains is a low resolution PDF that I fortunately made and archived on one of the few disks that remained. The above explanation is only a loose guide, as it was over 10 years ago and I produced this graphic through a lot of trial and error, somewhere between 12am and 5am one morning (don't you love deadlines?).

I've forgotten the exact number of varied steps that was needed to produce this particular image - but the client loved it, so who's to complain?

 

Enjoy making your "Amazing Circles" - and don't hesitate to experiment.

The results only become more complex and amazing!

View On Black

 

so it was 12:30am and i was still at school studying in a lecture hall, i got bored so this is what i came up with. i also had my camera with me, which i haven't had time to pick up in awhile because of exams.

 

this is just water i threw at a blackboard....it's not blood....yea..i was procrastinating

 

i like how the texture from the blackboard turned out and the dripping water adds an interesting composition

 

strobist:

- sb800 pointing at blackboard from the top on SU-4 (1-64). used a stofen to diffuse the light

- triggerred by on camera flash which i covered the front with my hand so it doesn't affect the shot and only trigger the sb800

- only reason i really needed the flash was to reduce the iso to the minimum on my d70 (iso200) and to use a faster shutterspeed.

Did the coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama today. Looked overcast as we left home, by the time we got half way down the F5 it was hissing down! Arrived at Bondi with no rain and would one believe I got a bit of colour in the face. By the time I left the beach at Tamarama and half way to Bondi there was a light sprinkle. With only 50 meters to go till reaching the Surf Club at Bondi people were huddling under the rock ledge as the heavens opened up.

Being a bit of a tight arse and not seeing the value of ten bucks in a itemised page filing device informing one what each sculpture represents and artist.

I don't have a clue, but do give credit to the artist for a very novel sculpture!

Sunburnt Sunday in South London...finished the evening off with some Polish beer on ice and a chicken curry with ho fun noodles. Superb. Splat was on fire today. His choice of colours all the way through.

Nile Valley Days (third weekend in July, Jim Sprick Park north of Naches / south of Cliffdell) hosts egg toss competitions. Good ol' fashioned family fun.

 

This is an action photo -- the woman catching the egg with a mighty blast, and I've inset her a second later shaking off the goo.

Happy FUTAB!!!

My mommie told me today that she had done some koala research and suggested that little Henry would surely appreciate vegetable soup more than cookies and it would be nice if I made him one.

 

Now this put me into a bit of a dilemma, after all I knew from Mrs PB that vegetables were the root of all evil and were, even in splatted form, not to be trusted.

 

So I got out my rolling pin to make sure that the instant vegetable powder wouldn’t suddenly attack me and carefully started to prepare Henry’s meal.

 

After I thought it was done I quickly hopped into a trench, wearing my crash helmet and watched from afar how Henry approached the soup, ready to save him from any harm.

 

It seemed though that koala bears were immune against vegetable poisoning as he clearly seemed to enjoy his meal. He even waved in my direction in a happy manner and then curled down on a comfy pillow to have a little nap.

 

I let him sleep while I disposed of the leftovers. After all I couldn’t risk contamination!

A nice day with the boys from the 32 crew, TENSER, EKWAL and VISK. Trying to get a god day in before the week or rain. Colours a lil' off, but I think you'll understand.
