#46 A spiral ...

... of time.

I couldn't help myself from posting this as a contribution for TSC/SH46. If peeps there at TSC/SH does not qualify such heavily post processed image as a solution on this very topic, then let me know. I can easily find a real but less imaginative spiral.

Few notes on post processing. I earlier reported that MirrorLab Android app removes the EXIF data from the edited images. But I then discovered I can open the original on SnapSeed, choose the same aspect ratio, and then easily add the MirrorLab edit on it with the "double exposure" tool and turn it into a fully opaque layer. Saving the image then keeps the EXIF of original layer hiding on the background. That includes the geolocation data as well, if it comes along with the original image. But here I removed the geolocation after upload because it would have been irrelevant information on this case.

On MirrorLab I used "Polar > Spiral D" effect, which I spotted on one example image at MirrorLab creator's Instagram account. By default "Spiral D" makes a spiral that goes the other way around. So, in order to get this, I first flipped the image of a clock, and then flipped it back again on Snapseed. I bought the full version of MirrorLab, and this very effect probably is not available on the free version, but there are plenty of effects to play with also on the free MirrorLab, if you are interested to give it a try. At least "Spiral D" was available on their freeware.

So, number of phases done to get what I wanted, but it is fun! And that is what matters when it comes to amateur photography! =D
