Shapes & Repetition- Amy

I took this picture to capture shape by the water and to capture the repetition of the boats .  I love the negative space created by the water.  f/6.3 1/640, ISO 200, AWB

Polarizer, picture styles

I made this shot with the polarizer during a sunbreak. I think it made the sky bluer than it would otherwise have been. The repeating patterns of the buildings, facades interested me. 1/125, f11.0, ISO 200, Normal program, 24 mm, pattern metering.

I had seen a coffee table book with interesting shots of tile. This is out an upstairs window of our house in the mid afternoon with the sun in the southwest. I liked the repetition

in both directions and the sheen from the sun on the tile. I made a point of getting the diagonal in both corners.

I tried different picture styles but didn't see much difference probably because of the color. The same picture taken in the morning with no sun was much bluer.

1/250, 7.1, ISO 200, 70mm, S picture style, aperture priority.

Aaron Managhan - Form

For our Form shots, I kept really getting drawn back to this one from our in-class shoot. I'm not really sure why, but my eyes keep finding it really engaging. At first, I just like the repetition of the stacked boxes, but then smaller things like the shadow up the left and the fray in the corner of the orange box really started jumping out at my eye.



It's a little hot on the top book, but I was glad I was able to keep the left side dark and really focus on the corner of the first box. This one was F/7.1 at 1/25 and 1,600 ISO.

Aaron Managhan - Styles

I have to say, shooting at the different settings I did not notice as much on this initial set as I thought. For example....


Anyone who has been on the main SPSCC campus knows this iconic building...the SUB, or Student Union Building. The shot on the left was my camera's Landscape preset, shot at F/5.6, 1/3,200 and a 400 ISO. Not very different from the original I shot on the right: F/4.5, 1/4,000 and 400 ISO. I also just love this building, so I decided to use this for my shapes/forms one too.
And I don't have a filter.

Repetition

This is the downtown transit station. I was experimenting with some more night photography and I saw all the repetition of the lines at the top and noticed also the pattern in the curb and thought it would make for an interesting image. It seems there is a lot of pattern all over.
ISO 100, nikon d60, f/10, 18mm

Lines & Patterns

I liked the cleanliness of the perpendicular, horizontal and angles of the lines in the staircase

Drew Rckman - Repetition/pattern/shape w/ faithful shot

I liked the obvious repetition and pattern of the metal lines in this shot. I also liked the randomness of the shapes (reflectors) mixed within the shot. The image on the top was shot in standard picture style and the one on the bottom was shot faithful picture style. I hardly notice a difference in the two shots, except for the highlights seem a bit different in the faithful shot. And after looking up the picture style on the Canon website, I guess I shouldn't have expected too much of a difference. I have had some computer issues within the last couple of days, so I wasn't able to Photoshop these at all. At least now it helps us differentiate between the picture styles more easily. Both of the images were shot at ISO 200, AWB, f/5.6, 1/200

Stones Throw - Diana

This photo was taken at a local park. I was drawn to the water and rock river beds. Metadata- f8, 1/45 shutter, matrix metering, shutter priority, iso 250, white balance cloudy. Circular Polarizer. I didn't notice much of a difference with the polarizer. It may have helped with glare. I had the most "fun" taking this shot. More photos on the personal blog.

Arwyn - Repeating Shapes

I love this plant outside of my house, even the buds are interesting, especially because they grow in clusters.  I wish I had used a backdrop for the plants - I think the background is a bit distracting, even out of focus.  I took this with my Canon Rebel XTi, f/16, ISO 400, no white balance correction.

Chelsea Phillips- Shape

1/250 Shutter speed, F8, Exposure +4.7, White Balance: Flash mode

I took this in seattle, I loved the texture of the paper and the repeating rectangle shape they created. I created the selective color effect in photoshop.

Heather Olsen - Repitition

I took this picture at 1/15, Auto White Balance, ISO 400, center weighted metering. I really liked the repeating circles throughout the photo and the different textures of the glass.

Amy - Polarizer

I took this shot with and without a circular polarizer.  I cannot see a major difference though the blue is different in this photo.  F/9, 1/320, ISO 200, AWB

Jessica Simon - "Shape"

This is a decorative starfish I have in my home. I put it in front of my window to get natural light to create shading on one side to show three-dimensional form. Along with the shape, I like the outline of the little nubs that create a pattern. Taken with my Canon 40D, 1/125, f 1.8, 50mm, ISO 640.

Zane - Picture Style

Metadata: Focal length 22 mm, 1/400s, f/7.1, ISO 1600. Camera Style is Vivid Color and Color Saturation.   This image is about layering of repeating shapes of the petals mixed with the layering of the leaves. The water adds a sense of three dimensionality. The purpose for the high ISO was to capture color saturation, and given a boost with picture style settings.

Zane - Repeating Shapes

Metadata: Focal Length 71mm, ISO 800, 1/1250s, f/4.8, WB, Vivid Color, Polarizer.   The theme of repetition starts with the mirrored head shapes of the gulls, repetition of foot lines, the fence rails, and beaks.  The day was cloudy with sun breaking through the clouds accenting the whites of their heads and feathers.  I went out of my comfort zone of flower images and tried birds instead.  The wide open lens in the bright light helped get a close focus on their heads.  Because they move so fast, a fast shutter speed was necessary.  The polarizer helped capture detail in the brightness, though the downside is the bluish cast.

Pattern,light

I liked the repetition in this frond. At first it looked like a fan to me and then like a fish with that spot looking like an eye. I shot it from beneath to catch the light coming through it and the lemons above. 1/125, f4.0, manual setting, 17 mm, spot metering(that was inadvertent).

Lupine

I like the repetition of the stalks and the small individual flower buds getting ready to bloom. Interesting patterns also; stalks, flower buds, raindrops and leaves. f/5.6, 1/60s, ISO 100 , 62mm

Laurie - Repetition/Patterns & Shadow

I'm breaking the rules and posting two pictures because I couldn't choose! In the first shot, I purposely blurred the rider and caught the shape of the spectator (my son's coach) as he watched the race. Sometimes a suggestion of shape (in this case the rider) can tell the story better than a still life. I also liked that Jim is facing one way, and the rider is heading in the other direction. In the second photo, I didn't realize what I had until I saw it afterwards. I think the repetition of shapes, especially in the bikers' shadows, is neat.
First shot: Aperture Priority: f/8; ss 1/60; focal length 75mm; ISO 100; multi seg. metering
Second shot: Shutter Priority: f/13; ss 1/125; fl 75mm; IS0 100; center weight metering

Patterns

I was taken with the reflection of the grass in the water on top of the pattern in the water. There's a little too much going on but the start of a interesting idea. I used the circular polarizer filter; f/9, shutter 1/125, ISO 400, AWB, Center-weighted metering, Nikon D90.

Image Style: The Skokomish Valley in Spring

Picture Style Landscape w/ Circular Filter

Shutter Priority 1/60

f/3.8, ISO 320, EV 1.0 Focal Length 24mm

While I checked all the settings before I took my photos, I forgot I played earlier in the day with Picture Controls/Styles and still had camera in JPEG mode. The colors were vibrant as the sun just cleared throughout the valley...I liked the colors and the shape of the setting...
