This is seven iterations of a P3 Penrose tiling, with radial lines in red to help you see the symmetry.

The theme for this month for my office photo club was "Patterns and Repetition", and despite having taken a reasonable number of photos over the month, none of them really fit the theme all that well. So, I broke out a bag of clear glass marbles to see what I could come up with. After one or two failed concepts, I decided to just arrange them carefully in one of my aluminum sheet pans, taking the "pattern" idea quite literally.
I was happy with the initial shots, but they captured the room in each individual sphere, which could have been interesting in some other room, but wasn't all that flattering in my kitchen. To compensate, I arranged a makeshift light tent around the marble (I just leaned two pieces of white foam core board in a A-frame shape, and covered the rear opening with parchment paper.) Shot one of my SB-700s through the paper, and dialed in an exposure that I liked. Cropped in post, added a little structure in Nik Viveza, and boosted vibrance just a hair in Aperture. The one marble with a bit more color was happy circumstance; I think it was picking up a marble that wasn't completely clear combined with a little of the incandescent room light peeking in through the front from just the right angle. I really like the end result.
