MAN MADE
 I like this picture because there is actually two patterns in it. You initially look at the vertical bars and the pattern that it makes but if you look closer the girls walking up also make a pattern in there matching cheer leading uniforms.I took this by standing next to the gate and taking the photograph from the side of it.

 I chose this picture because i like how the pattern descends downward and how the types of drinks slowly change making a pattern consisting of both repeating buttons, colors, and flavors. I took this by standing above the buttons and pointing the camera downward to take the photo.
 
 NATURAL
 I think this is a strong photo because it its very vibrant and crisp. It shows the repetition of leaves going down the stem into the middle of the plant two by two, one on each side. I also like how much it shows the details in each leaf. I took this by shifting the steam of leaves slightly to one side of the camera and getting slightly below it then pointing the camera up and taking the picture.


I think this photo is strong because it fills the frame and is interesting to look at how different but at the same time similar all of the leafs on the ground are. I took this picture by standing directly above the pile of leaves and pointing the camera downwards and zooming in enough for it to fill the frame. 

IMPROVE
 This picture is kind of boring and unclear. The random twigs in it distract from the actual pattern. It could of been taking at a different angle to make it slightly more interesting and the distracting elements could have been removed from the object.

WELL
 I think this is a good photo because it fills the frame and shows off two separate patterns. The stripped shirt is and obvious automatic pattern while the zipper makes one as well.

ABOVE




BELOW 
 
 I think that this is my strongest photo because it is a unique and difficult angle to get. It grabs your attention because the object is flying up into the air. I like the sun coming in from the corners as well as the clouds in the background. I also like how the beads hanging from the lamp shade are flying out into the air all around it.

STRAIGHT


This photo is an example of leading lines. i held the lamp shade out and used my arm as a line leading to the object.

COMPOSITION 

 For this photo i used filling the frame by taking the picture close up so that the design of the lamp shade takes up the entire frame.  This is effective because the beaded design is really interesting and grabs your attention.

IMPROVE

This photo could be improves because its boring and you cant really tell what the picture is of. It captures probably the least interesting part of the lamp shade while the interesting detail is blurry and not showing very much. 


The most challenging element of this assignment was thinking of all the different way to set up on object so you could get a variety of images at different angles. In order to over come this you have to think outside of the box and use what you have around you to change up the pictures and make it interesting.
