Kaleidoscopes On View
Hello, Alien Artists! 👽 😎
I used to be really into kaleidoscopes a few years ago, but not so much anymore. I've always found these colorful structures fascinating. Even as a child, I had an optical toy with mirrors placed at angles, and when I moved the glass fragments of different colors, they created changing color patterns.
Years ago, I had over a hundred posts about kaleidoscopes in Hive (and even in Steemit), where I made kaleidoscopes from my photos with various add-ons/plug-ins in graphics software. It was quite an exciting experience.
Although look that they may appear from another dimension, a photo captured at a specific moment, frozen in time, and transformed into a colorful structure still reflects our reality. It is an image from our world; only the viewer's perspective is altered.
But the desire to generate kaleidoscopes is still here :)
I created twenty kaleidoscopes from a single photo using Photoshop Mehdi Kaleidoscope Filter and Paint.Net Distort DPL Kaleidoscope effect.
Using these tools is not the same as using a physical kaleidoscope, where you rotate mirrors, and then patterns and structures are formed from colored pieces of glass. It combines mirroring, image multiplication, zoom, and rotation.
You can have endless fun with it.
I have not used AI tools in this, only Photoshop and Paint.net.
Of course, there's the photo from which I generated all these kaleidoscopes.
This is a photo of a flower. In our country, it's called an Amaryllis, and it's from the Hippeastrum family. In my experience, photos of flowers are very suitable for generating kaleidoscopes.
That's all for today. Thank you for your attention.

Since my childhood I love kaleidocops, especially those where you can roll and the pictures variates unlimited ♥️
Yes. There's a chunk of nostalgia.
Gab es auch welche, die man nicht drehen musste? Hast du eventuell eines der Teile mit eingebauter Kurbel besessen?
Jetzt bin ich neidisch. 😊
Ja die musste man sowieso drehen. Im Prinzip eine Art Klopapier Rolle 😂 Kurbel? Nö nie gesehen
Aber da fällt mir ein ich hatte so eine Art "Photoapparat" ! Knall quietsch rot. Man musste gegen eine Lichtquelle hineingucken und da waren dann ca 10 Bilder zum weiter "klick"-en die man dann sah. Tja, mit was man sich damals stundenlang beschäftigen konnte

In retrospect, I wonder what happened to all those things that were once such a source of joy and diversion.
One of them, of course, was the tubular kaleidoscope, which was often permanently fixed in front of my left or right eye. It was so much more exciting than going to see Uncle Peter on Sundays and listening to him talk about the war he just lost. 😩🤢
Haha, you'd rather look into a kaleidoscope than Uncle Peter 😎
That is really really fun artwork. Kaleidoscopes are fascinating to me too. I love the kaleidoscope inspiration.
Yeah, they are fascinating to me, too. 😎
