Is it me, or can submitting art to open calls sometimes send one down a creative rabbit hole?

For example, the theme of “Reflections” had me tinkering with the first image – with the crop, with whether it should be horizontal or vertical; I even experimented with adding water & reflection effects.

Thanks! (And yep; the 3rd and 4th images were shot on Kodak p3200 at about 1000 iso; and pushed a bit in the processing.)

You're welcome!

Michael Kelly-DeWitt @michaelkellydewitt.bsky.social · Jun 20

Thanks! The effect is the result of a particular prism filter screwed onto the lens. (I think it goes by a few different names - a vortex filter, whirlpool, or halo filter. Found this one on eBay - but I think it can be found elsewhere, too.)

Two photos from Zion National Park in December 2013. The color image was taken in the late afternoon; the B&W less than 24 hours later. (Winter weather moves fast, man.)
