    Many thanks :-)
    ...that curved thing, top left, that looks vaguely like the centre of a CD, is actually the surface of the planet where these high speed objects are escaping from ;-)

    Not yet.😀

    The idea is that in these programs for generating fractals or three-dimensional graphics, the possibility is offered to "photograph" the results from any position and using virtual cameras equipped with "lenses" with any focal length.

    The resulting environment can be saved in "explorable" formats, literally, in VR, so that using appropriate equipment, those who wish can walk through them and admire them and "photograph/film" them again from (almost) any position and with any lens. A lot of fancy detail can be added.😀

    For example, for the image in this experiment, a 360* virtual environment can be generated and someone could walk around there in a space delimited to the size of a football field.

    One can also start from real environments reconstructed for VR, as in the case of video games, for example.

    Scapa Flow

    Looking ot across the beach over Scapa Flow in Orkney, this view for me was all about the colours and the light; the azure of the water over the sandy seabed, the mauves and greys of the retreating storm clouds, then the curves of the water channel reflecting the sky. I find that using an ICM technique emphasises the colours, mainly perhaps by blurring much of the distracting detail.

    I enjoy playnig with reflections too 😁
    This is an excellent example. Lots to discover. The grassy bits at the bottom are particularly good in this shot, adding another layer of ambiguity.

    Tranquil, looks painting like. Reducing detail like this is often an excellent technique for photography. Your image has nice subtle color.
    Thanks for sharing,

    Interesting technique, the colours look quite unique :-)
    I wonder if any animals can see it looking as presented here, and then perhaps see and discover useful things that we don't normally see?

    Looks great,
    The little bright things floating on the blue water remind me of stars, in an early evening sky

    A building looking a bit like one of those old globe lights sparkling and rotating in a disco

    Very shiny beetle !
    The different ways that colours can be made is quite fascinating.
    The colours you see in a spider's web for example result from a few different effects all happening at the same time.
    Maybe I'll post a photo in this weeks thread :-)

    This looks fascinating & very creative. Fractals are great subjects.
    The last image here, really does look we are on a different planet !
