They are really nice

I just tried some cityscape from a photo

Best seen at this size or larger

At the moment it is not showing the original size - 6,256 square. Maybe it is too large? Surely not.

Few years ago I took a photo from the street through to my front windows

I like this one a lot Sallyanne. :jumpclap

Thank you both.
With the city-scape one I swapped centre and corners bringing the sky into the middle before doing a quadrilateral, then another couple quads
Other one I think I also did the diagonal symmetry twice before quads.
I have found to keep a look out for 'growing' images where it is transparent and auto cropping image as soon as I see it.

My contribution to this nice thread. These results come from photos taken on my terrace. I only applied diagonal symmetry once and then quadrilateral symmetry.

Nice ones. The middle one looks like floor tiles from the 50s...

Another shot at it, using the picture of a propeller wake:

I'm starting to wonder what picture won't give interesting results:)

Photos of a floodlit cave at Jenolan Caves in our Blue Mountains, with flowing creek, stalactites and stalagmites ..

Ofnuts, you are right. There is no photo from which the script will not produce interesting results. Thank you for creating it.

Would someone please be so kind,
as to explain the procedure you guys are using,
to get such nice patterns?

Wallace - 2 new plug-ins from Ofnuts, which are both simple and speedy and have no settings!

They are Diagonal Symmetry and Quadrilateral Symmetry, available from Ofnuts usual Sourceforge directory.

I downloaded Ofnuts's symmetries zip file and it only contained one .py file, named ofn-symmetries.py.
