Non traditional photographs

[Donald Miller]

Ahh. They are traditional then Alvin Langdon Coburn did these in 1917. The Vortographs. But yours are different and very beautiful.

Thank you Jim.

I like your images Donald - they are original to my eye and well executed

The floors and some building edges seem to curve in the stitched shots, and not just the last one posted. Perhaps this is lens introduced distortion, or from spherical panning.

Without the explanation of technique used, nor gear used, how should we consider these images? I don't see anything that different in approach that could be found in colour images of the last thirty years, using any size camera. Taking away the stitching with D-SLR technique, how can you claim these are non-traditional?

Ciao!

There was also one of the "Hillbilly Hunter's House" that had a lot of curvature. Looked to me that it was shot through a fish bowl.

Nope, never had a migraine in my life, thanks for that.

Just wondering. I've never had one, but I understand that some people see swirlly patterns that your images could be similar to.

Super calibrated mylar - very nice.

I take my chance during this brief pause in all the yelling and post a picture instead of more angry words. Usually my abstracts are done in medium format with some exeptions.
Interresting thread, occasionally.

Cheers

Joakim, Thanks for posting a very engaging photograph.

Yes, more photographs! :-)

I'm not sure how non-traditional this one is, but most people probably would have closed down the aperture more. I left this one at just f11 to let the top left and bottom right corners blur out a bit, in hopes that maybe the fence would stick out a bit in a '3d' type of way.

”...showing some photographs of a more abstract nature?”
How about some optical trickery?
