NEW Intermediate assignment #6: Pattern

This is the NEW Intermediate assignment No 6 - Pattern

Pattern is associated with order. We are sensitive to subtle changes in pattern and can gain extra information from those changes (for instance distance as a pattern gets smaller). Often our attention is drawn to disturbances in pattern.   

Assignment: Take a shot where the impact relies on featuring a repeated pattern.

General Assignment Rules The general rules for the assignments are as follows : - clean slate, all “old” assignments will be locked (over time as the new ones are created) - no mining, shots must be specifically taken for the assignment (we trust you ) - only one assignment at the time. Once started you can only take the next assignment after having passed. - one dimension crop and minor straightening allowed (to allow different aspect ratios, but don’t crop in both directions) - max 2 pics per post/try - you can do the assignments in any order, and repeated as many times as you want - at least one moderators or admin will comment on every post and determine fail/pass. This might include general C&C as well. - all members of Dyxum can also leave comments on the shots posted - id of members that passed will be kept in a "pass post" - specifically good pictures or good examples of assignment passes will be kept in a new "assignment gallery" - instructions for specific assignments will generally stay as is (and we'll have to write new ones for new assignments). - shots posted for the assignments are eligible for selection in the weekly exhibitions

John, sorry I already looked at the picture several times but need to ponder a bit further on it. I like the shot (might have put the prime focus on the first wave, but that's not extremely important) and there is indeed a pattern of waves going into the background. However what makes me wonder about pass/try again is that there are so many other areas in the picture that don't contribute to the pattern that I'm not sure. Maybe a night sleep (or another Dyxum admin/mod) can help me out on this one.

John, My night sleep resulted in the same conclusion as brettania, so pls. try again a picture where the pattern is a more prominent (or even overwhelming) subject

Right,

With the recent grey drab weather in the UK I thought I'd look inside for some inspiration for this assignment and hooked up the Macro lens to my new Tripod and snapped this.

Minor straightening and brightness/contrast adjustment.



Cheers for looking

This may be a slightly different interpretation of "Patterns" than the one you are looking for, but im trying to think a little bit differently for these assignments. Here goes/hoping

Thanks Cameron, i did actually take a shot as you suggested but i want to think a little differently for this assignment ( i was hoping the circular pattern wasn't too random ) and not post something that doesn't make you think a little bit. So back to the drawing board ( sorry about the pun )
Cheers John
