that were put here but not mentioned in web pages here....
Most of the images this month were made with the Mathmap plug-in and the Droste script that I wrote a little about how to install and use. I learned a lot throughout that month, so some of the images here have some problems (or qualities) that the images included in the regular web site do not have. Also, I tried to use only images found from the wiki-commons archive there, so here are a bunch of images that I found on Flickr's Creative Commons stream, which they rather nicely provided. Almost all of the images found here contain the Share-alike, Non-commercial license -- there maybe exceptions though.
This was one of the first images I tried to work with. Eventually, I managed to get at least on version with the eye, nose, and mouth clear in the mapping.
Drinking and finding Creative Commons Licensed images from online sources to play with is better than drinking and driving, but one must wonder -- how much better?
This chicory photograph was easier to find than mine are at the moment.
Iterated beautiful. My camera cannot capture an image like this.
This image was one of the first that I played with. I hadn't learned yet how to get rid of the blank space on the outside when it shows up and also at least one of them has an obvious seam in it. The seam is a problem in some of the more beautiful values of p.
Yellow flowers seem to have more regular petals than most of the other colors of flowers. Sure, there are many exceptions to this 'rule' but everyone who is playing with this plug-in and script combination should probably play at least once with a yellow flower with a single row of very regular petals and an interesting center like this image that appeared in the Creative Commons stream about the time I wanted it.
I was sorry that this image was not one of the images I found from wiki commons when I put together the beyond Droste page.
This image taken and put online by one of GIMP's documentation group, Axel. I actually considered this a personal message sent to me (an unofficial documenter of GIMP); a message which I enjoyed iterating, as can be seen here.
Similar to swirling those yellow flowers I mentioned earlier, it is really cool to see the plug-in work with the bubbly flower centers and if you are playing with this plug-in, an image like this should be mandatory in a gallery.
Flowers often grow according to the rules that this plug-in maps images with so they are very interesting to apply those same rules again to. The off-centerness of this image was probably nice to practice with. The script allows the iteration to be mapped around a not center point.
I mentioned in the tutorial that I was late to this party, perhaps you find yourself to be even later than me. One of the challenges after getting the plug-in to work and then your brain to work with it is to find a new and different image or subject for it to work with. I was looking for an image of one of those blue five gallon water bottles to play with and after much searching, I found this image; so, at this point I still don't know if that would have been a new and interesting image to play with.
