Hope you'll enjoy...

I love the top one Azy's eyes go out of focus

Eggiwegs! I would like... to smash them!

Love the one in the gallery Doruk, you keep opening new vistas for me! The first one here is lovely too.

so, is it me or are there faces (and a few other unfamiliar creatures) staring back at me in that last one...?
Beautiful, Doruk.

...I really enjoy these. Dont mind the pixel ones, but the first one is marvelous. .n

Fantastic love these Doruksal slices gone mad, can you tell us your technique, when I tried this on my toast pic I ended up with 46 layers surly you must have a smarter way. :O)

Thanks for the comments..! :)

The technique I'm applying to produce "sliced images" is infact a very simple one: successive copies and pastes...

Let me try to explain how it works...

• Assume that the master image to be sliced is an 800x600 one...
• Though it depends on the image, I found that slices of 30-40 pixels wide are giving the best results. For the virtual image above, as its "x" equals 800, 40 pixels wide slices are appropriate as you can divide 800 by 40 evenly...
• So, I begin selecting my first slice by starting to select at point (0,0), and thus the first selection ends at point (40,600). I copy it and paste it as a new layer on a seperate canvas...
• Then, moving the "selection start" point by x=20 pixels (thus, creating a 20-pixels-wide "phase difference"), I begin selecting the second slice starting at point (20,0), and thus this selection ends at point (60, 600). Then, copy and paste...
• Next selection: (40,0)->(80, 600)...
• So, this iteration goes on like this till the other end of the image...
• Then, on the canvas including the "sliced frames" from the master image, I arrange the slices in line, and then merge them all (flatten)...
• As a summary: for the virtual image described above, I have a virtual frame of 40x600, and starting from the left-most of the picture, I frame a slice of the master image and copy and paste it elsewhere; then I move the frame to right by 20 pixels and copy and paste......

Sorry if it took so long and got complicated, but when using a foreign language, it's quite hard to explain specific things...

Hope it was helpful...

A few things more...

• Surely "phase difference" does not necessarily have to be half the width of the "slice frame". For example, with a slice frame that is to be 30 pixels wide, the phase difference doesn't have to be 15 pixels, and it can surely be 10 pixels, etc., depending on the effect that one wants to achieve. The only important thing seems to be that it makes things (framing slices with equal dimensions throughout the image) easier to chose numbers as common multiples and/or common divisors for each other: an image 800 pixels wide, a slice frame 40 pixels wide, a phase difference of 20 pixels (or 10 perhaps), as an example...
• The lesser the phase difference, the longer (thus larger) the resultant image. For example, while keeping the phase difference as "1/2" the width of the slice frame is like merging "2" images into each other in slices, keeping the phase difference as "1/3" the width of the slice frame is like merging "3" images, and so on...

i'm liking these...got to have a go at it...thanx for the info

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt

You know those "luxurious" mirrors which are generally encountered in the lobbies of hotels, in shops, etc., the mirrors which are made up of a number of narrow mirrors arranged as vertical slices..? In my country, you may also see them in barber shops, local fast food cafes, luxurious restaurants, etc. ... I find them rather "kitch", but the effect they make on the reflection resembles just what I'm trying to achieve, and I was definately influenced by those mirrors... My first experiences with this technique were 7-8 years away, and I used to slice two identical pictures with an x-acto knife and a ruler, generally the slices being 1 cm wide and the phase difference being 0.5 cm... ...As you may guess, this whole business was a serious pain in the ass, and was a tough test of patience. Then one day, in the "general news" pages of a photography magazine, I saw a picture that was exactly the result of the same manipulaton that I tried to explain: a high shutter-speed capture of a jockeyed horse hurdling over a barrier, shot directly from the side... ...It was impressive how the technique had given a terrific dynamism back to the freezed action..! I cannot recall whose work it was... Then, over the time, I saw other works or parts of works which were manipulated with this tecnique. So, though I found the technique by myself through self influences, it was and is already a rather known one... Really sorry for all these bla-bla, but couldn't help... :)

My friend this is great detail, I see hoe you have achieved the slicing now. Thanks :O)

i think there's a Talking Heads record cover that uses a similar technique, but achieves quite a different effect...

...Doruk, you're nuts. Are you sure you dont live in the dark basement, have white hair sticking around, sleep few hours in the night, mumble something weird and do those slice'n paste works? eh? EH? .n ps. thanks for explanation, gotta give it a shot.
