Another local native plant portrait with code. This time of Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus). I left it a bit expressively weird, because... personality.
I think I should make a little series of botanical sketches (in my chosen medium of code, of course) of local native plants. Maybe I'll set them into a pattern later.
Not to be cynical but I bet an iPhone focuses on infinity, dies an edge detection and then dithers everything outside of the edge to create bokeh. No diss to the designers because the effect is awesome but I bet it's a selective data loss/ manipulation approach.

Well, I won’t claim 100% confidence but I think the bokeh is an optical effect. With the clip on macro lenses, most the focusing was achieved with physically moving the camera close and further away. Again, just an educated guess, but based on what I was seeing as I took the photo.
I don't usually like to post anything this WIP and these are only part of the final design I have in mind, but I'm really finding the sort of painterly effects I'm getting fairly charming here.

Next some swirling foliage pattern behind these, then, they start scrolling right word, with new variations endlessly and seamlessly scrolling into place. I mean, in theory, in my imagination. We'll see how it turns out.
