A little more Fun with iDroste: TrigonScope and now Symmetry

I have for a long time enjoyed patterns; in nature; in art and in design. I think that is why I liked the mirroring of images in Photoshop so much. Now the iPhone has apps that do the same thing with ease. I have been playing with some images created using the TriginScope app, then running them through iDroste and now applying an app called Symmetry....these are a few fun images I have processed in the last day or so. Again, this borders on design, but starts with a photo. The first  image here was also processed in an app called Photocopier, which simulates style and texture of classic art works.

This last image was assembled in an app called Diptic and processed first in TrigonScope, then iDroste, then ArtistaHaiku....the frames were applied in an app called Vihgo and the copyright added in an app called Impression.

TrigonScope and iDroste an insane and fun combo of endless opportunity

Last nights post was on the TrigonScope app and tonight I have a few combined apps to share. First I want to say.......philosophically this is way beyond photography, although the base image originates from a photo........I think this moves into the digital art realm, and I might say I love it! My background in art, painting and sketching is surfacing in some of the digital art apps for the iPhone. The images here were made first with the TrigonScope app. Then they were processed in ArtistaOil to give them a texture like fabric or canvas. Then the base image was "played" with in iDroste. iDroste is an app with an M.C. Escher~like creative opportunity...its crazy fun! the base image is actually a shot of what was on my computer screen when I was playing with the TrigonScope app. It was a gallery of images on Flicker!

Crazy App TrigonScope Just for Fun!

Single Shot TrigonScope app This is actually a shot of what was on my monitor when I first opened the app I was looking at a Flicker site.

A fellow iPhone photographer mentioned this app so I searched it out on the app store. Its the craziest iPhone app I think I have seen. Its like a real time kaleidoscope. I loved those when I was a kid and probably spent hours looking into the tube of cut glass rotating it all around to see what new fascinating patterns appeared...well this app is a digital kaleidoscope. The images here were made in my den. I have lots of patterns in the den so it was very much fun to move the phone all around and see what appeared. You can shrink or enlarge the image on the screen and you can rotate the screen to fit the patterns. Trying to capture them is a little different, as you have to freeze the screen and take the image at the same time. I think I'll be having more fun with this app in the future. I ran these all through the ArtistaOil app for some painterly effects and texture. Happy New Year everyone!
