The Magic Pudding..

If you suffer from cosmic vertigo, don't look.

A group of 24 concrete objects. Twelve are natural concrete and 12, that have a different profile, are stained darker grey. I wanted to show the interesting interactions between the profiles. Each object is 75mm high.

Camera: Nikon D600 with 24-85mm lens. RAW images developed and focus stacked in ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2026.

I like it!
Testing out ImgBB:



Seems to have done a resizing, unasked. Hmm

this drives me crazy because i keep expectibg radial symmetry and it isnt there

then i look to see if there are really only two patterns, and that makes me have to rotate objects in my mind and correct to a common angle of view or remember sequences of projections

this is like an assymetric kaleidoscope


Just be happy.

Thank you for trying it, Recusant.  My VPN is set to UK currently and I can see your post. ImgBB looked good to me when I came across it. It did not resize the photo; that tight crop was what I intended and is in my original.

Ha ha, mission accomplished! There is no radial symmetry and there are indeed only two profiles. These are actually tea candle holders meant as gifts at a dinner party. They will be wrapped in pairs and are a puzzle, since the pairs couple together like gears:





These are the photorealistic renders I made in Rhino 3D software when I was designing the shapes.

Recusant, I just checked, and you are right: there has been a reduction in size, although the crop has not been changed.

I have found another site that looks promising. It is called Postimage (https://postimg.cc/m1Hn6btZ/82f37f2a). Here is a test to see whether they resize:

I just confirmed that Postimage did not resize my photo and I was able to download the original photo.
