A Sandy Illusion
May 5, 2021 11:36:56 #
This is something I did years ago when I had time on my hands for experimenting both with folds ( as I called them ) and later with triptychs and then the idea of including the matting effect in the printing process. When I was experimenting with the fold's, I was struck by the puddles in the correct orientation, looking like concave recesses when inverted. In fact it reversed the topography in the upper half. The sand was shot at Popham Beach State Park, where the sand reconfigured with each tide.

Great effect. Bravo. May I ask, how large? Did you print it out?
This is a reduced version. The thing is when you fold a photo, it is four times the original size, so they get big. I printed it small on my home printer, not yet on a large format printer. You can't print everything :)

Thanks Linda! I have quite a few of these types. Some better than others of course. I was really taken with making triptychs and polyptychs for a while, and then trying out some unusual matting.

Yes, to all the positive comments about creativity, interesting work.
So, question, the actual shot is 1/4 of the image shown? The image having been mirrored left/right and then that mirrored up/down?

You have it right dpullum. The original shot, with a Canon 5D, which was a 12.8 mp sensor, would make this folded image just at 20X30 at 300 dpi. This is the original frame.

Looks wondrous in the the download. A beautiful "sight."
I really had a wondrous week at this beach. Couldn't wait to see the fresh patterns in the sand every day.
