1 / 365
Well this took far longer than it could possibly warrant. More than a touch of over-reaching again.
For 2017, my plan is to try get reasonably competent at Blender 3D rendering. Not sure if I'll still belong here if a majority of my images aren't strictly photography, but we'll see.

To start the year, I went for a 'homage' to one of my fav 365 photographers, @northy, whose done the 'feet in the mirror' shot a couple of times:

I don't have enough space to try it for real, so thought I'd give it a try in a 3D virtual environment. With an obiligatory quirk. ;)
It got quite involved. Not only did I have to build a room (and re-add the windows which kept disappearing), but I had to create a smudges texture for the floor and textures for the visitor's feet.

After 2000 cycles, it's still really noisy. Oh well. I promise I'll get better.

Happy New Year!
