Manipulating light, patterns, and color

This mandala pattern was created from the above photo

The same scene as yesterday's photos but shot badlyThe photo at right is a badly exposed image of “The color of light” posted yesterday. I liked the confetti of reflected light in the millpond so I began to play with it in Photoshop and created the symmetrical pattern, above. I enjoy seeing how I can manipulate images until they are totally unrecognizable. No other images were added to the original one. Why do I do it? It’s just fun to fit parts together, find patterns and thrash colors as I work. Click the top image to see its detail.

    Gorgeous! It looks textured like a kind of fiber – a weaving. You should send it to Spoonflower! Or like a fractal. I like the luminescence!

    I won a blogging book from Spoonflower and I’ve been attempting to come up with a fabric pattern that I could give them as a thank you. I don’t think this one is it, but each time I do one of these symmetrical patterns, that’s one of my goals.

    I love these posts. Pretty stuff, thanks.
