Weekly Abstract and Experimental Thread #2 (4-1-2025)

Just amazing effect. Visually very pleasing and unusual. Well done.

Amazing shot. Very mesmerizing. One can look and look and discover various shapes and colours and textures. Wonderful wonderland.

Another excellent image. The colors in the background look like "digital" flowers. Cool capture. These images say sci-fi time travel to me.

A minimalistic, geometric composition, with a nice textured touch...

Thanks, Chris, I'm glad you like it. I discovered part of that grid during processing, while playing with the slider structure, because i thought it was lost with the panning...

I looked for a nice, colorful background. And what better than a flower shop? 😀
Truth is that with this technique, any light, any element in the background, becomes very striking...

That is a neat printing method. Haven't tried anything like it...yet. It came out great.

Strange flower.
A "flower" resulting from the graphic representation of mathematical algorithms (fractal).

Awesome "flower". Looks menacing. Like the colors. The glow around the flower is nice. Is a super powerful computer needed to create these?

Thank you!
It's more about the time it takes to render the image, which depends on the performance of the processor and the software used.
Strictly about this image, rendering can take at least a few minutes, depending on the resolution required and several parameters that can be set especially in the lighting scheme.

The longest it takes is until a sufficiently interesting formula is found, because a lot of testing has to be done. In a few hours something interesting can be found.

Problems arise if the intention is to get a video clip, in which case it may take several days to get the necessary images for a few seconds of movement.

Very cool looking images :-)

Video fractals seem a lot like stop motion animation photography...slooow. very time consuming, but cool. Hope to see more.

A firestorm.

Let's guess what is captured in the picture.😁

Venice

Wow! Be safe. Impressive image.

Looks like a modern painting. Colors are fantastic. To me, this is a very happy image.

Apocalypse now…

Agree, nice image…

It is a very common process.🙂
Hint: The image is from the macro category, ~22mm FoV.

So, in the picture are the residues that remain on the matchbox after a match passes by and lights up.😀

Ah, very macro and very creative. What magnification is this at?
Thanks,
barondla

Magnification describes the size an object will appear projected on your camera's sensor, compared to its size in real-life.

The use of the term "magnification" is confusing for most photographers, because the results obtained for a given magnification ratio are dependent on the size of the sensor used to collect the information and the size of the screen on which the image is viewed.

What is relevant is the size of what is captured in the focal plane. In this case, we have a 22mm wide capture.

If we use FF category cameras (36mm sensor width) an optical system that provides a magnification of ~1.65x (1.65:1) is necessary.

If we use "APS-C" sensor cameras with a 24mm sensor width, an optical system that provides a magnification of ~1.1x (11.1:1) is necessary for same results, etc...
