It's 0.4s, f/9.0,ISO 200. I tried a few faster than that, but they were too exposed for my taste. I had on my 12x Raynox Micro lens on the FijiFilm S5000. It was overcast and snowing so the light was muted and coming in from the side.<BR/><BR/>After I had the pic, I noticed the logarithmic spiral was fairly distinct and wondered if I could find the right coefficients to overlay the spiral.<BR/><BR/>So I hauled out my MATLAB (mathematics software) and plotted a few curves and then overlayed it with 50% opacity using Adobe Photoshop Elements. The font I used was Papyrus.<BR/><BR/>While that was cool and I was about to post it, I wanted a little more emphasis on the source of the spiral. I clicked on a few of the effects that Picasa has and "Focal B&W" seemed to be just what I wanted. I fooled around with the constraints and then posted it. :)Hypatiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006794721285468833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13646394.post-1140152229228352292006-02-16T21:57:00.000-07:002006-02-16T21:57:00.000-07:00Superb!How did you do it?
