I was just messing around with my camera and took this shot with my macro lens of this beautiful (Nameless flower.)
These plumbing lines for a new outdoor arena and skating path in my neighbourhood had a great graphic pattern to them.
Great to finally get some nice conditions to go out and photograph in. I headed to Barossa in Camberley and spent a good a few hours photographing anything that caught my eye, in particular looking for the more abstract to show some of the beautiful little scenes created by the ice.
“Rectangular Patterns (Horizontal)” — Patterns formed by light, paint, shadows, and structure on an urban building.
This is one of a pair of photographs of the same structure. I’ll bet you might not be surprised to hear that the companion photograph is called “Rectangular Pattern (Vertical).” Working on this pair got me to thinking about a series that I might call “Urban Geometries” featuring such photographs, both from my existing archives and from some new work. You can look at this as a photograph of a real scene or, if you work at it, you may be able to see it as an abstract composition of forms and colors.
The location is an area that was acquired by a (very) big company for a huge future corporate campus. Then came the pandemic. Now their plans appear to be on hold, though they still hold rights to the properties. I suspect, but do not know for certain, that they did some “sprucing up” of the area to avoid charges that they are allowing it to degrade. Right now it is largely a sort of urban dead zone… though it has nice paint.
This is just a variation of a previous pattern with 1x1 plates between the headlight bricks in each square. I was just curious tosee what would happen. I think there are too many lines going every which way, but it might be a nice effect if it were monochromatic...
This was created by taking a macro shot of oil sitting on water, I used various backgrounds underneath the glass bowl.
Strobist:
Single 580exii flagged lighting the background, triggered using YN622
Not sure if this glass fell in this pattern when it broke or if someone arranged it after it broke, but in either case, I thought it was cool the way it was laid out.

On October 18th I attended a workshop put on by the photography club that I belong to in San Diego, Polyphoto Club. The purpose of the workshop was to teach us to take the time to really "look" at something in order to see the beauty in "everyday" and "ordinary" things. Perhaps as a result of this workshop, I took the time to look at the sunlight this afternoon streaming though a set of venetian blinds to cast these shadow patterns onto a piece of varnished wood. I've probably looked at this hundreds of times in the past without "seeing" it. I'm not saying that this is a beautiful photograph, but what I "saw" was beautiful enough to get my attention.
