295/365 - Jim - Boggle Your Mind

( f/16 70mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Optical illusions have always intrigued me as I'm sure they do you as well. Because of this and other reasons, I am a big fan of M.C. Escher and his illusions. I grabbed the Boggle game again and set the dice up in the general pattern and took a shot, then removed some dice and shot anther one. Then it was time for Photoshop and fitting everything together seamlessly. It wasn't easy, but I'm happy with the results.

This may boggle your mind, but all I did was drop these boggle letters onto a black reflective paper. It took more time to find all the letters than it did to take the picture. I have 26 more days to hit the mid point of Foto Every Day and it is getting increasingly harder to come up with ideas. This project is truly challenging my creativity, but that's what it's all about so I can't complain.

Yes, followers, there is a message. Go ahead and see if you can find it. It isn't very difficult. I probably should have mixed it up so it was more difficult and made it into a little game, but maybe next time. I used my fisheye lens on a tripod with the arm extended straight over top of the board. Then I cropped the image square and adjusted the colors just a little bit.
