Work Diary&Progression- Pattern

Evaluation:

We were given the task of photographing pattern. I found this interesting as it helped me to learn how pattern can be found in numerous places. For example this helped me to explore how nature portrays simplistic patterns, also I photographed complex patterns too, which are man made. 

A photograph I like:

This is my best image of the day as the stripes are an equal distance apart and they show a structured pattern. In addition. In this image the bricks on the floor also make a pattern, therefore there's a pattern inside a pattern. The road is also a pattern due to the tarmac. The horizontal lines of the road markings suggest calmness whereas the random vertical and horizontal lines of the bricks suggest chaos. Overall, i like this image as it's simple and portrays three different types of patterns, all in one image. 


A photograph I did not like:

This is my worst image of the day as i believe i should have focused more into the black ball as the background distracts you from the pattern itself. I'd also photograph the image so the ball was in the middle of the picture, as the main focus point. However, i do like the pattern of the ball as it's slightly chaotic although it does obtain a pattern. In addition i would have tried various angles (down below) to get more of the pattern in, as it would appear to open up into a ball.

Progression:
If I was to reshoot I would ensure all of my images precisely portrayed pattern, so that I could deem my images to be successful. I would also ensure the pattern overtook the whole image, not just part of this. Moreover, I would also like to capture more natural and organic patterns. 

Final 5 Images- Pattern

Final 5 Images- Pattern:

In this image we can see the pattern is linear and structured. This is a generic pattern as it's symmetrical. I like how the light hits the top of the visors and creates a shadow underneath, this in itself is a pattern too. This is a man-made pattern.

This is not an easy pattern to see- as it's not linear or structured (like the pattern in the image above), however there's still a repeated pattern. I like this image as it is am abstract way of perceiving pattern, it's a freely scattered pattern however there's still structure to it as the leafs are straight lines.

I like this image as there's numerous patterns occurring. There's initially the stripes across the road which are a pattern and then there's also the pattern of the bricks on the path, which show both vertical and horizontal lines creating a zig-zag pattern overall. Lastly, there's the pattern of the gravel on the road which contrasts the linear patterns of the stripes and bricks.

This image's pattern creates disorder as the leafs have jagged edges which aren't structured or symmetrical. Although, despite this there's still a pattern present as the leafs edges are repeated. The edges of the leafs are all the same, showing how there's a free pattern present (not a structured one.) This is a natural pattern as the leafs are a part of nature.

This is a basic symmetrical, linear and structured pattern. The bricks are the most basic pattern i photographed today. The rectangles create a sense of order and structure as they're all evenly spread across the wall.

I chose this image as the random structure allows people to see how patterns don't have to be structured, they can also be free. The pattern is slightly geometric, and creates a mathematical appeal. 

This image is more of a generic pattern, it's symmetrical and linear. You can clearly see the pattern in this image.

I like the curved shapes in this pattern as it creates a smooth, structured, organised pattern.

I chose this image to represent pattern as although it's not symmetrical, there's still a pattern running through due to the same leaf image being repeated. 

This is a free pattern as the lines are random, however this still shows a pattern as the black lines are structured.

I admire how the photographer has used cars to create parallel leading lines, this also appears to be diagonal which takes you on a continuing journey. Due to the cars all being white it allow you to spot this pattern easier.

Definition Of Pattern

Definitions: 

Pattern is a repeated, and decorative design which something is completed. It can be used on curtains, covers, books, chairs etc… patterns are basically used everywhere. Patterns can be structured and linear, however they can also be more free and random.

A free/random pattern:

A structured pattern:

I like this image as it's a natural pattern. The dark blue-green stands out in comparison to the other colours. This would be spread all over the bird, making it stand out due to the pattern of the repeated feathers. 

This image of the ladybird obtains a natural pattern, as the dots are reflected the same on each side of the ladybirds wings.

My own definition of pattern: when something is repeated or obtains a set structure, that's continuous which makes it easy to recognise.
