UI abstraction follow-up

Not to toot my own horn in public, but one of my images for the UI Abstraction Photo Contest won first prize! I thought that was pretty neat. It was this one:

There were a metric ton of other really awesome images in the show, in a surprising variety of styles! The social phenomenon that is Torley submitted some images, and they were pretty awesome, which is natural, seeing as how Torley is to UI abstraction what Rembrandt van Rijn was to portraiture. I even use a mash-up of one of Torley's pics as my desktop wallpaper. Not to mention Torley's texture packs—they look really cool on a nice twisty torus! And there is a new pack out that I have to run out and get! And the songs, oh so many wonderful songs (especially lovin' the piano fantasies)! *gush* <3 We all love Torley! <3

UI Abstraction Photo Contest

You may have read about the next contest at the Photography Studio in Grignano. I've submitted two images to the contest, which you can view below!

Both entries are based on a set of snapshots I did of one scene; every snapshot in the set was of the same scene from the same angle, but with different settings. The stark difference between the images below is the product of experimenting with how the many snapshots were layered and combined. The series is entitled "Welcome".

They will be hanging on the walls of the venerable Studio with all the other entries for the exhibit, so you should check the place out!

Also, if you're thinking of submitting an entry, you'd better hurry: the deadline for submission is tomorrow evening!
