MANIPULATING KALEIDOSCOPE IMAGES

I like to take the kaleidoscope images and run them through the various PHOTOSHOP filters.

This image was manipulated in the "colored pencil" filter.

This image came from the "poster edges" filter.

This image was achieved from the "rough pastel" filter

This image came from the "water color" filter

MAKING REPEAT PATTERNS

I enjoy repeating photographs and teaching others to make repeats.
I use Adobe Photoshop for all the repeats. Photoshop has a lot of wonderful functions and filters that can be used to significantly change an image.  I look for interesting elements in an image that can create a pattern.

Repeat with edges

Here is a repeat using the lotus with the accented edges.  The beauty of repeated patterns is the secondary and tertiary patterns that can be achieved.  Then it is simple to find the primary, secondary and ground patterns.
