heheh...

10 points to anyone who can figure out how I did this.

(and yes they're horrible pictures, but I thought they were cool anyway so I figured I'd share) <chuckle>

yeah, and I hate my 8 point star filter.............. (#2)

 

[manaheim]

My god do they actually make for-real camera filters that do these kinds of things?!?!

Well, that's not what I used...

 

[Crazydad]

I'm guessing the in-camera "cross filter" effects (at least that what Nikon calls it).

 

[Chris Stegner]

I would guess a section of some sort of screen? That would be on number 2!

 

[Sulfur]

A kaleidoscope!

 

[manaheim]

hehe...

Well, it turns out my silly mom brought over a couple pairs of these...

Gemini Kaleidoscopes - Gemini Specs

I was like "oooo... those are fun! I wonder if I can get a picture through my camera with those!"

I had to focus before putting the specs up to the front of the lens, but other than that it worked quite well.

Well, cool idea you mom had! Those specs did turn your usual Christmas Tree pics into something else! I like the second!!! Wish I had something like that. I can only take very "normal" photos of our tree (which is still up and won't be kicked out for the next 10 days or so, either!!! It only CAME up on 23rd, so there!).
