Pattern

Man-Made

 This photo works because the wire on the fence makes a diamond-like pattern and all the shapes are the same size. I took the photo so the pattern looked like it was getting farther away, even if it wasn't. It is a successful picture because there are two patterns in the picture; the diamond shapes and the fact that the pattern looks like it is getting farther away little by little.

This photo works because the pattern was broken by the black part of the wall. I took the picture so the black part was off to the side, not in the middle, so it would look more like a broken pattern. This is also what made the photo successful, and the black draws attention to people looking at the picture.


Natural

 This photo works because all the leaves are pointing down, which makes a natural pattern. I took the photo so the leaves filled the frame, so the wall wouldn't be distracting and confusing. The photo was successful because the leaves filled the frame and were pointing down.

This is an interesting photo because this isn't a normal pattern you would see on just any leaf. I took the photo zoomed in really far because the pattern becomes bigger and more noticeable that way. The photo was successful because of the interesting and unique pattern.


Improve

This photo needs to be darkened because there is too much white in the image. It also looked a little blurry. The problem was I was pulling the camera away after I took the picture too early, so I should've left it up longer. I should have moved the camera around a little so the lighting would change and become a little darker. I could've used a levels adjustment too, in photoshop, if there was more time.


Well

I am good at taking pictures of line patterns. To me, they are the easiest patterns to find, so I have a lot of pictures with line patterns. I took the line pattern pictures so the horizon line was perpendicular to the vertical line patterns, and parallel to horizontal line patterns.

For the next project, my goal is to take a lot more pictures, because this time, I didn't take enough and I barely had any natural pattern photos. Also, I need to make sure the photos I'm taking aren't blurry because almost all of them were this time. To achieve this goal, I need to hold the camera still longer so the image comes out nicely. I also shoudn't go around looking for specific things. Instead I should just take pictures of what I find and notice. That way, I will have more pictures.
