Alien architecture?
Uploaded: February 05, 2008 08:34:55
This image is based on a photo I made last December in Hamburg Airport, Germany (to see it, look at the discussion of this photo). I used the Polar Coords (polarizer) effect in Gimp and then I cropped the image a bit and made some changes in the contrast, brightness and gamma of the whole photo.

Tiia -- This is the first time I've seen this. Awesome work. Congrats on your win. Well deserved.PS: Do you always use Gimp, or do you use Photoshop too?
Great job! #5744535
Tiia Vissak April 04, 2008
Thanks a lot!I do not have Photoshop. I use Gimp for effects, MS Photo Editor for softening, sharpening, cropping and changing the image balance (Gimp can do it, too, but not as fast) and sometimes also MS Paint for collages and clearing everything from around an object.

This is FANTASTIC. I still did not get any idea how you did it? However, love the result. #6503352Tiia Vissak September 24, 2008
Thanks a lot!Go to www.gimp.org and download Gimp (freeware). Open a photo and find the Polar Coords effect from Distortions. Select the settings for applying it and then you should get something of this type. This effect takes the left and the right side of your photo and glues them together. Of course, it stretches the image while doing it, too.
