Don't you feel guilty exhibiting planets when you didn't create the idea.. but just found it on flickr? It's like baking cookies using the recipe off the back of the chocolate chip bag and getting accolades for how great they are. Sure, it feels good.. but what have you really done but followed a recipe?
Don't get me wrong.. it's cool and all, but a little iffy to me.
It's photography to which I applied a technique to. Creating "planets" has been around for awhile & don't claim to have come up with the idea. I use my own methods of merging and adjusting the images that is different then the tutorials found on flickr/web. I don't see how this is iffy?
Iffy in that people looking at the exhibit will be thinking "what a cool, original idea!" The photography is your own work and the photography is what is on display... but it's the perspective that really sells the work, and that wasn't your idea originally.
It is a style of photography and you're doing it very well, so congrats.
When I show the Tiny Planets in galleries and public places I put up a description of the Plants that outlines their existence/history so people will know that I didn't come up with the idea but merely practice the technique.
