Geometry

Can you find the diamonds, circles, rectangles, circles, parallel lines, triangles, semi-circles and squares?

If I was teaching a primary grade class, this would be a great teaching tool for basic geometry!

Active Assignment Weekly June 6 - 13 - Nature's Geometric Shapes

WIT: I thought it would be kind of neat to photograph an example of fractal geometry in nature.

Fractal geometry deals with 2 main concepts: self-similarity, and non-integer dimension. The first deals with repetition of sorts, and the 2nd deals with dimensions which are not exact numbers (i.e. integers). So, for example, a straight line is one dimension, whereas a curve is somewhere between one and two dimensions. There is a certain predictability or pattern in the seemingly random appearance. That's my layman understanding of this, anyway...

This is a cross-section of a red cabbage, which shows an example of fractal geometry. It is not taken with a macro lens, but I did crop out the borders to make it square and create a type of abstract image. In Photoshop I tweaked the colours.

I took this photo for the geometry theme for the weekly kids & babies challenge. I know we weren't supposed to actually depict a geometry class, but I couldn't help myself :)

Yeah, yeah. There's the darned Superman t-shirt. We do try to wash it frequently ;)

Seen in the holiday town of Barmouth on the North Wales Coast ... really nice out of season, great beaches and views.

Infrared treatment of the Duomo (cathedral) in Florence show all the repeated geometrical patterns used in decorating and creating the church. Reminds me of my fractal geometry class (repetition and self-similarity) back in college.

Which reminds me - I need to go back to Florence - so many things to see still! :-)

Nikon officially announced a 50mm (equiv) f1.8 lens at Photokina for the N1 system. We'll finally get to see what the image quality and bokeh is like using a fast, prime, native lens and how it compares to Sony's RX100!
