Fractal art.

I took a close-up picture of a section of my Christmas tree and left the lens open while I zoomed into the tree. This gave me the streaks of light coming out from the center. I then Photoshopped the ends of the beams of light to look like galaxies, exploding stars, etc. It was fun to make and I have a large framed print of it in my front room and get lots of comments about it from visitors. Enjoy!

The workings of a frustrated creative mind gone temporarily insane… Too many tangents, too many ideas. Too many thoughts trying to cram their way into an already overcrowded space. A peek into my inner tumultuous subconcious. The working title for this was A Crisis of Faith – In Myself Of course I’m out of my mind…. It’s dark and scary in there! I think a prolonged hibernation is in order.

Playing with light leaks, I rather like the way the paint splatters remind me of constellations; then the tea cups become planets…

Tutorial: Photographing the Milky Way with a standard DSLR camera
by Cain DohertyI have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog....
I have an improved and better formatted version of this tutorial in my wordpress blog. This tutorial will cover the development of my image Milky Way from Apollo Bay using a Canon 350D, a wide angle lens, Adobe Photoshop and an image alignment program called hugin. For this to be repeatable you must be shooting with clear dark skies, free from light pollution. I used settings of Tv: 20 sec, Av: f/4, focal length: 17mm and ISO speed: 1600. A shutter release cable is also a great tool and can keep your camera clicking as it sits on the tripod. The more images taken, the better for the final result, because this will improve the signal to noise ratio that plagues digital sensors during long exposures. A tracking mount is not necessary with a 20 second shutter speed because the rotation of the night sky is undetectable at such a wide angle. Please read the following steps for more information. All images are hyperlinked to larger sizes. 1) Download this zipped folder containing four of my unaligned shots of the Milky Way. 2) Load them into hugin_0.7_beta_4. 3) Manually align images with control points – don’t automatically align. I aligned three images to a common one. Enlarge the screenshot for details. 4) Click Edit – fine tune all points. 5) Click View – preview window. 6) Click Center and Fit buttons to achieve this view. 7) Click Edit – Optimise. 8) Click Stitcher – image format – multiple tiff . Final screen before clicking Stitch Now . 9) If you don’t want to worry about learning how to align the images with hugin, then you can download this zipped folder containing the four prealigned images of the Milky Way. 10) Load each image onto a new layer in photoshop adjusting the blend mode to screen which is good at lightening images without lightening the darkest areas. 11) Add a medium contrast curves layer. 12) Add colour balance layer: shadows (-90,-25,-10), midtones (-15,-5,-20), highlights (0,-5,30). 13) The final result For comparison’s sake, shown below is a typical accompanying jpeg to a raw file I began with for one of the individual images. I used Adobe Camera Raw to extract the jpegs provided in step 1 for processing. In closing, I’d like to point out this is not the only way an image like this can be captured; there is myriads of possibilities. I have developed this simple and inexpensive method by just experimenting with the tools at my disposal. Comments are welcomed. If you haven’t done so already, please check out another tutorial I have written: Layer Masks and Transparency Gradients for The Heart.

Fractal Explorer Gen Newton IV formula. That’s the stars for you. / We are told to reach for them. / They are out of reach. / But we are dreamers all / We wish on a star / but cannot touch it / Star struck / but not in reality. / How magic is that?

Oh, to explore the lands beyond the painted sea, maybe some day, when the radiation is no longer so high. But only 6 centuries have passed since the end of the ” war to end all wars”and it is said in the counsels of the Humafins, that 10,000 years must pass before the lands are safe. Still, I can dream as I sit back on my tail before returning to the painted seas of Mother Earth.

Once away from the lights of our encampment I was able to look up and really see the big red lady in the night sky. / Thats the great thing about these exploration trips, I get to see some amazing skyscapes. / Standing here in the Swift crater on the moon Deimos , I think back to a time in the far past when Jonathan Swift described the two moons of Mars in his novel “Gulliver’s Travels”. A coincidence some say, to know that Mars had 2 moons, 150 years before their discovery in 1877. / Or maybe not a coincidence, maybe Swift visited these moons and the red lady above. / Maybe he even stood in this very crater named in his honour. There are many strange happenings in this vast universe of ours, so who can really say. As with all my work, best viewed in zoom mode. Just click the image.

As I made my ( transitional ) drive from my future back to my past today, I listened to the Alien sounds of the album Oxygene. / From the master himself, Jean Michel Jarre. It is a sound for Earthly ears, with a message from the cosmos, to me its about the search for a new home on another world by a race that as destroyed the one they were given.The search is long and time passes slowly, the new worlds must have the thing we as a species need “Oxygene” / So their search across space may go on for eternity, for they say ” you can never go home again”. / And even when you find that other world, it still is not “home”. So I suppose MY message is…........... ’ Think about what we as a race are doing to our home world, do we really want to have to travel the stars for all eternity, searching for something we already have?................think! I wanted to create an image of what their home world was like before its destruction.So I created this one and called it “Oxygene”

The Trader vessel “Sibelius” above a city of the Others, in Galaxy 6. / A dead city covered with dust, just waiting to be explored. I must explain how they got here…....... The Grantrisss are a inquisitive race, but not very intelligent, they travel the cosmos picking up floatsome & jetsome, things long discarded by other races. They study what they find and then sell it at the Galactic Recycling Depot on Grayling V. But some things were worth keeping, one such item was an antique pottery jug, it was also sealed with a tech ring of unknown origin. Having tried over many years to decode the symbols and so find the password, they finally gave up, still it was an intriguing item, not something to throw away. It was eventually sold to a human Trader for 500 credits, the Traders and their families of course live in space on their vessels. This Trader had bought this jug for his daughters 10th birthday, that day arrived and she was presented with the jug, she lifted it out of the box and as soon as she touched it, dropped it and the top broke off. Within an instant a hollo of a man emanated from the jug, it was a message asking for assistance, from a planet in Galaxy 6. / Everyone knew Galaxy 6 was a fantasy,a myth, no being had ever found or visited it. Legends said that within that space there was a nebula filled with treasures. / Still, it was a myth, not real, but the message did say whoever answered would be rewarded handsomely. / Plus there was a chart. It was worth exploring.

As we look at the scene before us, we see many lights in the sky. / And since man first walked upon this Earth, he as always wondered what they were, those lights in the night sky. / Has he became more aware through technological advances, he sort of understood what they could be. / And even to this day he still wonders, what hides in the great blue yonder. It draws us forever to explore the vast unseen, we know the substance of it, its there before our eyes. / But what do those lights in the sky really hide from our eyes. They hide the….... Substance – of things not seen This is my entry into the challenge ” The Substance of things not seen” And of course for me it would be about the void beyond this Earth. And featured in *First Things / and Images & Ideas

This was originally one of Melbourne’s newer buildings, on Bourke Street. I wasn’t in any way happy with the lighting on the day, so I put the powers of post processing to work. Blacking out of background, colour tweaking and lighting adjustment gave me this space station feel. I imagine this to be an undiscovered Alien dock, found outside the Milky Way (extragalactic). I owe my inspiration for this piece to hologram, who has a folio of incredible galactic like pieces. This was taken with my old Canon SX100IS, so the quality isn’t as good as some of my recent shots, but I’m still happy with the result :) Featured in Canon DSLR Top 10 in Something Used Something Borrowed Challenge MCN: C9CA0-E2B18-BF707

I have traveled far and beyond all you know. / I have felt that which could not be felt. / I have seen that which is most hidden. / I have touched that which is forbidden. Few have seen what I seen. / Fewer still ever know. I have seen holes in the fabric of the Universe. / I have felt time frozen and all identity lost. / I knew not who am I, where or what am I, and yet I was. / I was a thought, a light, a spark, a vision. I was the Thing inside my vision. I was the very word that tried to describe it. I was lost and I have found myself. Words cannot describe it. / So I cannot. But I WAS THERE! I can swear it. / And yes, I can go there again. / Anytime! Soon…
