As my regular readers are aware, I’m fond of using a bit of in-camera manipulation to create abstract images, when I spot a scene that might have something hidden in it.  This series of images, that I have created over the years, is collectively titled: Kryptomorphaics.

This title comes from the concept of uncovering hidden imagery through transformation.


This set of four images comes from a study of variegated vines that grow in the garden at my mother’s house in the Netherlands.  I uncovered different hidden images within these vines by applying minor changes to the technique that I used to capture them.

Hope you enjoy them!

Technical Details

These images were all captured using my Canon 5D Mk II with an EF 24-105mm f/4L lens.  Additional detail on the process is described in series of posts starting with TTT – Abstract Photography – Ep. 1

  1. I showed this to Drollery this morning in the hope of sparking some interest in photography because we’re going on a cruise around the UK in September 2017. THEN I showed him your post about Scotland! I heard him mutter under his breath, “Hm… I wonder how much it costs to live there…” 😮 LOL

    1. LMAO!!! My wife and I have wondered the same thing, as I’m thinking it would be a nice place to retire, but she thinks it’s too cold and windy 🙂

      I could see eking out an existence through landscape photography in Scotland 🙂

      Sounds like a great cruise!!
