WINNER – Skybridge

I adjudicate right away I was function to do this challenge . It seemed really interesting but I had no prism or mirrored kaleidoscope to use to take the photos with . After scour the cyberspace for a “ vortoscope ” to see what form of lens system attachment had been used to make these photos , I stumbled across a “ how to make your own kaleidoscope . ” I cut up an old CD into three rectangular piece and used some paperclip to book them together into a triangular tubing . With the “ vortoscope ” contraption perfect , no onto the picture taking .

I ended up just holding the vortoscope up to my lens when shooting . After many photograph of flowers and leave , my wife suggested that I seek something more abstractionist . I ’m actually proud of my submission this week . It is a shot of my backyard pergola looking into the sky . The vortoscope creates an amazing abstractionist and angular image . I hope you care it . canyon EOS REBEL T1i , Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II , 50 mm , f/7.1 , 1/125 , ISO 100

Holodeck Head

I am a self taught amateur lensman on a $ 10 budget . When I read this week ’s challenge I did n’t remember I would come out and play . I slept on a couple of mind for a Vortoscope and thought what the heck I will give it a endeavour . I am glad I did .

I give way to our local dollar sign store and bought 3 ( 4×6 ) inch ellipse mirror . After move out them from there cases I glue 9 - 1/2 inch composition of pelage hanger to the back with a hot mucilage gun . At the hardware shop I bought a 4 inch hose clinch and attached the mirrors to my 18 - 55 mm lens . I used a little duct tape to take for them together in a triangular shape . Vortoscope Mary Leontyne Price $ 4.24 . Photos priceless .

“ Faces ” was shot in the tub with our girl and her boyfriend as my example . I zoomed out ( 18 mm ) to let in the surrounding bathing tub tiles and frame the suspended Vortoscope around the swirl of the photo . In Photoshop I commute the impression to gray ordered series and adjusted the smartness and contrast . I used my Canon T1i Rebel set the ISO to 100 , f/3.5 , and a shutter speed of 1/5 with no trice or tripod . Just a very unwavering hand .

Vintage Vortograph

I started with a picture I submit of something from the era of vortographs – Seattle ’s Smith Tower , which was completed in 1914 . I printed my picture on 4×6 paper , set it upright , and train a flashlight on it . I stand five clear-cut plastic compact disk typesetter’s case on closing a few inch from the picture , each at slightly different angles . The front and back cases leaned on those closest to them , not straight up . Each charge plate piece both reflected the double and let light drop dead through . The tv camera would n’t auto focus , so I had to do it manually . I setup the photographic camera to manual mode – 1/80 of a second ( fast enough for hired hand - have ) , f/5.6 ( to get each ikon reasonably in direction ) , and ISO 800 ( since there was n’t much scant ) . I tweaked the exposure a bit in Lightroom . Panasonic G3 with the 45 mm macro lens .

The icon was n’t taken with a honest vortoscope dedicate the slant of the charge plate . But it captures the spirit of hand - drawn vortographs . It also reminds me of Walter Bishop from Fringe on LSD and stuck in a cross - dimensional record hop .

The Kitchen

I decide to go the mirror route for this challenge , so I buy three 4×5″ mirror from a local foxiness store and tried to super glue them together . When that did n’t solve , I duct taped them together and fashion a posterboard tube that I handheld for this pellet , of my beloved Kitchenaid ( and of other various things as you could see ) . Canon Rebel XS , 50 mm f/1.8 electron lens , Taken at ISO 400 , f/2.2 with a shutter speed of 1/80 sec . in Manual mode .

Teleidoscop

I shot this using a Nikon d70 outfitted with a electron lens that I made by geminate a miniature Teleidoscope with a photographers loupe and an aperture disc to refine the lines and to see the number of Angle which the lens accumulate light from . The toy Teleidoscope I used has an eye that that has planes cut into the aerofoil of the electron lens which reproduce the scene without using mirror .

Ghost Bridge

Because I had company all weekend , I did n’t ask to have prison term to take part in this week contest . opine my surprisal when I got into one of my friend ’s cars and key that the passenger side windowpane was Vortorrific . The window tinting motion-picture show was delaminating from the window which caused precisely the type of distortion I needed for the contest . The subject is one of the local causeway bridge . The intent was to work the horizontal distortion off of the mostly erect air of the nosepiece . Fujifilm s100fs — F11 — 1/60″ — ISO100 — 50 mm — Velvia Film Simulation

Green Monkey

In all honesty , I first thought this hebdomad ’s challenge was slow , but I ’m happy I made myself do it because I had a lot of sport . My first thought was to practice mirrors to reflect several images back to the television camera , but I then thought to make a sort of Kaleidoscope for my lens . A stumble to three different stores yielded nothing , but then I remembered a large , broken mirror my wife had used to put on her make - up . I returned to a hardware store and bought a $ 2 glass cutter , and a $ 1 hose clamp . At household I slew three selfsame piece of spyglass 7×3 inches and hot - glued them together in a pyramid shape . I hot - paste some spare telegram down the duration of each mirror and hose - clamp the newfangled apparatus to the rapid climb ring on my wide angle lens . This appropriate me to employ the full range of my soar – from 18 to 55 mm . Even at the wide-eyed slant , I got the full effect of the mirrors and this twist turned ordinary subjects into sinful abstract graphics . Not bad for only spending $ 3.50 on something I thought would break the cant .

I chose this photo because of the vivid colouration . I give-up the ghost down to a local playground and started snapping aside at various points , and discover the production line on the monkey bars to run you into the scene . The fall colors of the trees in the background certainly add just a second more item to the photo . It was taken on my Canon Rebel T3i , 18 – 55 mm lens , 18 mm Focal length , f / 4.0 , 1/4000 shutter velocity , ISO 400 , No Flash

Skulls

Halloween , Halloween , Halloween … the rhythm of my judgment and affection are for the holiday that is . I had render taking photos through prisms in the past , through I never new the name for it , vortograph . On the way home from watching our local high school ( and my oldest son ) wash in the Sectionals for their variance , which they get ahead for the 15th year in a row , specify for State by place all seven runners in the top 20 , we cease to do our weekly shopping . The entrepot was start to clearance their Hallowe’en item . One of them was a “ lechatelierite ” skull that alter colors . I think it would be appropriate to try for the challenge , so I turned it on and hold a sun catcher up to the lens system and began break down exposure . The event , appropriate for both Halloween and the Day of the Dead . canyon EOS REBEL T2i , 0.2 sec ( 1/5 ) , f/7.1 , ISO 3200

Blinded

I read about this contest just before leaving to visit my girl for a few days . I knew I would n’t be back until the night before the submissions were due . If I were going to do this , it would have to be a flick I took at her place . I screw modern-day fine art . I enjoyed “ search ” image for this project . In add-on , I was in a place where I always take so many scene . She subsist near some arboretums in the Piney Woods of Texas . I was originally thinking I ’d do something canny with the pine tree Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree – they have groovy assembly line . It seemed a fitting juxtaposition to the urban face of vortocism . I was sitting in her kitchen looking at the blinds and arbitrarily ask her if she had a optical prism . Go form – she did . It was a gift she amaze in a Christmas stocking from me when she was a tike . So I play with it . bag it . And forgot about it . When I go to the arboretum , I could n’t find the optical prism . Gone . Hmph . However , when I looked at the pictures I take in of the blinds , I really found a few I sleep with . I hope you do , too !

elephant are pretty cool animals , but when menace I am sure they would not hesitate to defend themselves . I can say that I do like them best when they are 2 inch improbable , surrounded by mirror , cd ’s , and flashlights . I am also sure that using a existent elephant for this photo would have brought on some kind of atrocity within my home . Therefore I used a wooden , hired man carved replica from an African market . I practice condom and no one was injure , not even the little wooden replica . Canon 40D , Canon 28 - 70L mm , 4sec , ISO : 250

Ringlight Rings

I actually was n’t even thinking about the challenge at all when I shot this . I ’m still not even certain I sympathise what a vortograph is – so hopefully this fits . I was playing around with a cheapo $ 20 light-emitting diode ringlight I bought on my nikon 55/3.5 macro lens , and noticed that the reflexion in a mirror in some of my run shots really attend kind of cool . I went over to the mirror and shot a few stroke looking right into the mirror with the ringlight on and the lens in various amounts of defocus , and this was my favorite . Shot with a nikon D2Hs and a 55 millimeter f/3.5 micro nikkor , wide unfastened at 1/100

I may be in the nonage , but I actually really dig this elan of picture taking , even if our mould definition of vorticism has been a bit ill - defined . The full - sized wallpapers are on flickr .
