Nocturnal Eyeball Orchid, January 2021

 

This image began as an eight-shot, in-camera multiple-exposure photograph, Using a DSLR with multiple-exposure capability I photographed my eyeball, pointing the camera at my eyeball as I held the camera with one hand. Additionally, in order to make things more difficult, the only light source was a tiny pinhole-like light beam which was travelling into the room through the security peephole in the door. This multiple-exposure process was repeated and then images were selected and combined to create a new composite. This composite was then duplicated and the duplicate was reversed. The new reversed composite was dragged on top of the initial one. The images were then selectively modified via layer erasing/layer density in Photoshop, and then the layers were flattened, creating this new, final, 'master-composite'. This is as yet still a preliminary version of the as yet unfinished image.

  The process is so simple a monkey could do it!
 

Microflora? Mechanical Flowerhead? New work from the last weeks......

A composite of four digital files, each scanned from the same analog negative, originally exposed using a pinhole lens and a film-based (120 format) camera. Or, in an alternative reality, an actual x-ray of the face of a mechanical flowerhead.
