    Kaleidescope

    I finally got my hands on one of these again after all these years... here's the end result... I think it turned out well although no major skill went behind it...held it up to the light at 50 mm, 1/30 sec(handheld), f/don't remember...

    what are your thoughts...

    Hi,
    I find these shots very attractive. I like the colours and the indefinite and unpredictable patterns of the kaleidoscope.
    All the best.

    art museums

    carry them... usually in the "toy" section of the gift shops

    and this site had the most reasonable price

    Hope that helps...

    These are pretty neat looking shots. Reminds me of the Kaleidoscope I had as a kid; was totally fascinated by the thing. The only thing I notice that might be improved is that they are a little soft around the edges, but that's not really a big thing in this particular context. Keep the ideas coming... "shooting out of the box", even if you're looking into one.

    These are very cool Natalie. I live about 1/2 hour from the world's largest kaleidoscope. It's built into a grain silo, so you actually stand inside it to see the "show" which is done with the use of a 37.5 foot(!!) pyramid of mirrors and a suspended video projector. Then of course you exit into the Kaleidostore, because you must. buy. something.

    Maybe one day we'll have to have a Catskill area get-together.
