Week 11 submission: Patterns

I was traveling this week and saw this while walking in downtown Walnut Creek, CA. I'll be on the mainland for a few months.

Some hand drawn patterns that will be digitalized and used in the textures of future releases.

I make pattern design

pattern/random pattern - is random pattern an oxymoron?

More macro shots from the X100s. I love how this turned out, both the pattern and the dual tone colors.

Technical details:

Fuji X100s: Macro mode, 1/60 sec at f/5.6, ISO 200. Shot as JPEG with Astia film simulation. Post processing Lightroom 4, where I increased the clarity, vibrance and saturation. Also did some curves adjustments to make it 'pop' a bit more.

A long weekend has finally enabled me to catch up on some scanning...

So, back on Harris, at the beach at Seilebost. Fantastic sand patterns here and I made several images with both the Pentax and the digital. I worked out that conditions were best when the tide had just receded as once the sand was dry, the patterns got disbursed more in the wind. I'll upload a few single images but I may do a tripych in the future....mostly because I don't know how to do a triptych in PS and therefore it will be a good learning experience!

I was preaching at the 10:30 service at Copthorne Chapel this morning. This interestingly figured panel is on the speaker's lectern. I have often admired it.

The pier at shoubury MOD site, the barges who worked of this structure who's job was to ferry the 21 ton gun Woolwich Infant Cannons down the Thames from Woolwich Arsenal for testing would dock here.

Patterns beneath our feet

The next four pattern photos were all taken in Perth city centre. I was heading in for coffee with a friend, so I left about 15 minutes early to look for some photo opps.

So, a challenge and a time constraint… and a lens constraint – only using my 14mm.

My first shot was the patterns in these cobbles. I think they are mesmerising.

AJAC theme for July was "Patterns". Take a look at our shots : www.flickr.com/groups/ajac/pool/

I know, this has been done before. And better too. For the real stuff, take a look at Michael Wolf’s Architecture of Density series.

I like this photo because everybody wants to be Michael Wolf for a day.

The day ended breezy and without rain. The sun didn't make an appearance though. Maybe tomorrow
