Work Diary - Pattern

In todays afternoon lesson we were tasked with photographing pattern. I didn't really understand what this was as I felt that it would be very hard having photographed texture just a few days before and I felt that they were very similar. However once I had seen a small presentation of what could be photographed for pattern I had a better understanding of what I could take.  During our shooting time I went on a walk around the town and around the college, I found that there was more to photograph than I thought there would be. 

Below is one of the photos that I took during this shoot that I like 

Camera Settings - 1/125 sec f/5.6 ISO 125

The reason I like this photograph is because it shows a clear pattern, that is repeated throughout the photograph, I like this photo because the pattern is clear in it and shows of the pattern well, the angle that the photo is taken at helps to show the pattern as well, the pattern is 3D and this is shown through  the different shapes and depths shown within the photo. I like this photo because of the clear pattern that features within the photograph. 

However I did not like all the photographs I took below is one photo that I too that I didn't like 

I don't like this photo as I don't think that it shows much pattern and I don't think that it is a particularly good photo. I don't like the angle that it is taken as it is just straight forward, there is no different angle and not really much skill involved in taking this photograph. I don't like it because I don't feel like it shows the topic particularly well. 

Progression 

If I were to go out a shoot pattern I would try and go to a more rural setting and try to show different more natural patterns as I feel that many of the patterns I shoot today are very man made and not very natural, i would like to show more natural patterns and natural occurrences of pattern within the natural world. I would also look at different angles in which to shoot the pattern as a away in which to truly show of the pattern in the best way. I would also look for patterns that are not always obvious in everyday life. 

 Snake Skin

 Kiwi

 Cracks 

 Rows of Chairs

Image Bank - Pattern

I like this photo because there is a clear pattern through out the photo. I like the there is a clear distance between each part helping to keep the pattern together. I like the use of analogous colours this also adds to the pattern as it is easy see a consistent pattern through out the picture. I like that the pattern continues all the way to the back even tohugh the photo blurs the pattern can still be seen and it is highlighted by the analogous colours.

I also chose this photo to go in my image bank because it shows a very different pattern, a pattern that I had never really taken notice of before now, the pattern of slicing bread into equal sizes. I like this photo because it shows a clear pattern that established at the left had side of the photo. The photo uses a line to shoe off the pattern and make it complete as it keeps the viewers attention on the main subject of the photo as it uses a leading line. I like this photo as it uses a simple pattern and there is not too much going on with in the photograph and this allows the viewers focus to be kept on the main subject of the photograph. 

I like this photo as it shows a pattern between the shells but also a different pattern on each of the shells. I like this photo because there is a lot to keep the eyes busy and there is a lot to different patterns to look at meaning that the attention of the viewer is kept for a really long time. The many different shells keep the viewers attention because they are so many different sizes and shapes but also the different patterns, there is so much going on within the photograph that it keeps the viewers attention for a long time. 

I like this photo because it has a clear pattern that goes round and draws you in to the photograph. The pattern of going round and round, meaning that your attention is keep until you reach the centre of the photograph. The pattern is simple to follow as it allows you to keep up with the pattern and allow you to see the entirety of the photo. The pattern also shows the depths of the main subject of the photograph. The different colour featuring in the middle of the photograph also draws to the viewers the middle of the picture and shows of the pattern as the viewers attention is drawn to the centre of the picture. 

I like the pattern of the coral in this in the photograph because it means that you can see all of the different hole in which fish and other sea creatures could swim in and out of. I like the angle that the photo is taken at  as it really shows the pattern well and shows that it is a continuing pattern. The angle of the photograph is really well planned out and shows of the pattern and the detail really well and really shows off the 3D pattern from the coral. 

This is the final photo in my image bank, I have chosen to put this in my image bank because it shows a repeating pattern. The pattern in this photo is very clear and is clearly the main focus of the photograph even though there is something else in the background of the photograph you easy do not really register what is in the background as your eyes are too focused on the pattern in the foreground of the photograph.

This photo uses a clear pattern and the patterns add to the photo to make it 3D. The photo follows a set pattern and this means that the photo has a clear pattern, 

This pattern is a break pattern, this is where there is a clear pattern but there is one thing that breaks this pattern, the red apple breaks the pattern and becomes the main focus of the photo and is where your eyes are instantly.

This photo contains multiple different patterns such as the pattern of dot on the basket ball and the pattern of lines around the ball. The use to 2 patterns really shows off the patterns along wit the different colours.

The pattern in this photo is clear but the different colours make the pattern look very mismatch and very interesting. The colour in the photo draws you in and all the different colours keep your interest. 

Personal defintion - the repetition of an item in order to create a design.
