Tachyon: "a hypothetical particle held to travel only faster than light"


So you want specialist?

You got specialist.

I am slipped into an abstract moment as I sat in the living room waiting for the Moosus to finish watching some trashy programme on Sky - deep in the 200's - so it's one of theose channels I never navigate to... My fingers get bored after 11 presses and thats still around "Dave" territory.

So I went a had athink about what I could do with the camera for ten minutes, and I thought about steam. Fast moving water vapour, cos we know steam is invisible. So I plugged in the iron, and pinned a black cloth onto the living room wall (there's a lot of tiny holes in my wallpaper, believe me) and took ½ a dozen shots of the iron blasting out some hot vapours. But that wasn't enough, so I took a small, dwarf daffodil and placed it in a small bottle and positioned in the the space the vapours travelled through.

Several bursts later and I had an image that was, well, nothing much really, unless....

I went for some real abstractness.

So I used a "tachyon" filter that was buried deep inside my filters folder in Photoshop (I think it was a Flaming Pear one I got years ago in the days of Adobe 7) and after running it, cloned out the myriads of specks of dust which miraculously appeared as the black became this intense white.

Anyway, as weird goes, this is as about as weird as I have ever gone.

Talk about "out of the box" - more like off the planet... lol...

I guess I like wierd. This is very cool. If I have a nit, it would be the color of the flower. I'd like to see it a bold red,or something different than rust brown.

Azzaro

That is a really cool picture..... I LIKE IT!!!

Once again I find myself saying this " I Love It When You Folks Get Bored!"
Can't really figure out the association of the daffodil and the ink bottle to the Iron forgive me ... I'm trying real hard

Nice going with the weirdness Paul
I like it, I don't understand it, but I like it ... Skippy
