Pinecone

Hi all! I'm "new" to the group. I did post rather regularly a few years ago, but it's been so long that I've been on Flickr that I forgot my old password. So I made a new account and started again with a photostream boosted with some of my old and favorite pictures. I was a bit strapped for time and places to explore with my camera, so, unfortunately, this isn't a perfect representation of the assignment, but I hope you like it anyway!

 

MISSION

Symmetry

 

DESCRIPTION

Exploit symmetry to make your shot work. You might wish to explore disrupted symmetry, where there is symmetry, but it it broken by something in the shot.

You might also want to explore the idea of disrupting the shot my including something that gives a sense of scale in the abstract.

 

WIT

I was stuck in my room with a fever and a headache and found myself wondering about this assignment. Then I looked over at my shelf and noticed this pinecone shaped candleholder I had. While the rings aren't perfectly symmetrical, the teeth are and I liked the pattern and lighting that came out of it.
