Thank you!

This was a solo effort using just the self-timer and a single off camera flash. It involved quite a bit of experimentation to figure out where to hold the blank sheet of paper to a) get it properly positioned in the frame and b) get it in focus ... and also quite a lot of running to get the three outside shots ;-)

If you want more detail ...

Exposure was set manually to capture the lovely blue sky outside, and the inside was lit by one SB600 flash bounced of a piece of white 'fab foam' which had to be repositioned for each pose. I used direct flash from inside to light my face when I was outside and it took two or three attempts to get it positioned ok for each of those. The neighbours must have thought I was nuts continually running round to the front of the house and peering in through the window!

The picture's built up in Photoshop from the inside out. The inside picture is sized to roughly match the sheet of while paper I'm holding in the enclosing picture, and then perspective and warp transformations make it fit exactly. Multiply blend mode allows the shadows cast by my hand to overlay the 'photo' on the paper it is holding, so the only layer masking required is round my fingers (otherwise the 'underlying' photo shows 'through' the fingers in multiply blend mode). Because the paper is actually grey rather than pure white the multiply blend mode darkens the overlayed photo. So curves with a layer mask are then used to lighten most of photo again leaving just a strip around the edge as a nice vignette.The process is then repeated for each successive enclosing picture. Simples!

Sorta looks like a cube with extra dimensions.

Put the mirro tube over the laptop screen as it displayed a long exposure of moving lights in front of the mirrors during a previous shot. How self recursive is that eh?

No post processing or what have you.

Recursive inversion of tangent circles

48"X36" Quantum Spider is a dimensional creature and an abstraction of a 10 legged spider whose abdomen is either in the gravity well of the black hole or exists outside our space time . . . You decide . . .

It's Hello Kitty dressed as a giant salmon roe, sitting in a bowl of salmon roe, eating a salmon roe with a tiny spoon next to a giant spoon. Recursive Kitty, ahoy. I am in love.

My friends bought this for me at the Japan section of Epcot Center in Disneyworld :)

I used structure synth to generate some letter forms. This context-free language is truly context-free :)

Saturday challenge... Frame within a frame.

The Droste effect is a Dutch term for a specific type of recursive picture. An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of the image within itself in a recursive manner.

See Droste Cacao in comments :-)

Frame from Shakespear(yes without the e) Regional Park, see comments.

I thought our block paved drive looked quite interesting as a wall or an optical illusion.

foldable fractal is a project originaly created during the Generator.x 2.0:

Beyond the screen workshop hold by Marius Watz, in Berlin in 2007.

The piece was generated using a recursive algorythm based on a lindermayer

system .The software vvvv was use to generate the cutting path. The piece is

based on a recursion of pentagon shape forming after folding a Pentagonal

dodecahedron .

The piece was created using the ability of the laser to half cut a material and

so to help to fold material , this is use in this piece to simplify and

accelerate the process of fabrication.

Part of my Recursive Chessboard set. See this set's description for explanations about the title.

A set of 3 models, using EH paper.

I used the concept of "recursive folding" as used by Edward Mistretta.

Mixing tessellation grids and part of my older models. All of them from EH paper, 30x30 cm, 32 division grids.

This image is based on 2 coloring layers:

1. The top layer uses a standard "distance" coloring algorithm - as if we colored in the regions of a topographic map by their altitude. This is how we make the blue-to-orange color gradiant.

2. Underneath this there is another layer using UltraFractal's "Direct Orbit Traps" coloring algorithm with the "box" shape option. It is this box shape that creates the linear patterns in the image. Because the display size of the box shape is controlled by the underlying fractal geometry, the pattern that emerges is regular and recursive.

"Les qualités et les étendues, les formes et les matières, les espèces et les parties ne sont pas premières ; elles sont emprisonnées dans les individus comme dans des cristaux. Et c’est le monde entier, comme dans une boule de cristal, qui se lit dans la profondeur mouvante des différences [...]. "

( Gilels Deleuze - Différence et répétition )

“Qualities and extents, forms and matters, species and parts are not first ; they are imprisoned in the individuals as in crystals. And it is the whole world, as in a crystal ball, which is read in the moving depth of the differences [...]. ”
