Flattened Mountain

Photographs of mountains are computationally altered to flatten the mountain’s elevations, while an ocean horizon is altered to mimic the mountain’s original topography.

    it would be nice to see more of the reasoning behind the images/concept. I find the altered ocean horizon resembles a rock cross section more so then a Mountain scape. I think your onto something :)

    Very nice. I can imagine how the Earth would look like if it’s all altered.

  5. i, i´m alejo from Argentina…
    Awesomehow, can i know how do you get this idea? i know it´s too much to ask, but, never in a million years i could shape the mountains in my mind to twisted into the ocean… well… maybe it´s cuz i´m not an artist, but would like to know ;)
    (sorry my english)

  6. Alejo: Explaining how I came up with any of my ideas is difficult at best, as they seem to pop into my head seemingly from nowhere, but I do remember that the impetus for this specific project was looking at a thumbnail image. I thought it showed a flattened mountain, but when I looked at the full-size it was just a typical flat landscape photo. And so I set to making what I believed I had seen in the thumbnail.
