Lichtenstein Skies

Just some experimentation, this time inspired by Roy Lichtenstein. Definitely want to work with this a bit more though.

Looking Like Christmas

Experimentation with a program called Fractalius, with some additional work in Photoshop.  Very cool outcome, if you ask me.

Spooky Trees

It was a dark and spooky afternoon...

I don't remember exactly how I did this. But my best guess is Fractalius. Following by some shopping. Photoshopping, that is!

Go Forth and Multiply, My Little One.

In commemoration of the launch of Sputnik 1, October 4, 1957, 55 years ago tomorrow. Seen at the State Scientific and Technical Library of Ukraine, Kiev

Sputnik 1 (Russian: "Cпутник-1" Russian pronunciation: [ˈsputʲnʲək], "Satellite-1", ПС-1 (PS-1, i.e. "Простейший Спутник-1", or Elementary Satellite-1)) was the first artificial Earth satellite. The Soviet Union launched it into an elliptical low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957. The surprise success precipitated the American Sputnik crisis, began the Space Age and triggered the Space Race, a part of the larger Cold War. The launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments.

Sputnik was also scientifically valuable. The density of the upper atmosphere could be deduced from its drag on the orbit, and the propagation of its radio signals gave information about the ionosphere.

Sputnik 1 was launched during the International Geophysical Year from Site No.1/5, at the 5th Tyuratam range, in Kazakh SSR (now at the Baikonur Cosmodrome). The satellite travelled at about 29,000 kilometers (18,000 mi) per hour, taking 96.2 minutes to complete each orbit. It transmitted on 20.005 and 40.002 MHz which were monitored by amateur radio operators throughout the world. The signals continued for 22 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 October 1957. Sputnik 1 burned up on 4 January 1958, as it fell from orbit upon reentering Earth's atmosphere, after travelling about 60 million km (37 million miles) and spending 3 months in orbit.

This one goes back a ways, back to the days of film. Does anybody remember film?

I've tried various processing methods on this one before, but none of them really worked for me. But this one I like. A lot.

Starry Starry Night

I'm working on some new photos to add soon, but for the time being, here are some favorites from the past.  There will be more new stuff coming soon, I promise!

In this case, this photo isn't really what it seems. Click on the following link and read the first comment in the "Comments and faves" section!

The title says it all!

Extreme Fractal

Fun with Fractals.  This started off as a fractal, but then I ran it through Topaz Detail and Pixel Bender.  Pretty cool outcome, I think!

Snowy Dreamscape

After a rather mild fall and early winter, the cold and the snow have arrived big time.  Time to go out and take some photos!

Now it's time to stay indoors while the temperature plummets.  Predicted nighttime low later this week, -14F / -26C.
