Hi Chris,

That's certainly an interesting effect. Judging from what I see though, the technique must not acommodate a full-subject shot. But, as you have shown, it can produce some arresting pictures. Good work.

interesting..so how did you actually set up the shot?

thanks. It is set up just as a normal macro shot. The distortion is via MathMap, which uses the original droste algorithm (very complex math) to give the effect. By definition a full frame image is not possible. Or at least one that looks good.

Outstanding!!! I particularly like the contrast in color and texture between the wood and the clock face in the first one. thumb
