Lens Flares in 3-D
The title is "Oyster Shell on the Half Log" This is a modified polypore in which the distort function was used on a quarter of it. With polar coordinates you can achieve the curve. Then, as this is another quadrant reflection, you can use distortion to change the lower half to a slightly shorter shape. Using low key you can take the color out the corners. A few taps on the saturated slide film will add the richness. But, the reason this ended up getting posted in lens flare is to show the judicious use of a lens flare can create a pearl with my oyster.
