Patterns..
Patterns..
Patterns…and just Patterns…
Some patterns are man-made and natural. There is a visual rhythm and harmony in patterns when photographed. It’s like a series of repetitive notes in a melody and it captures one’s imagination. A lot of visual elements (colors, lines, shapes, or forms) are on repeat and these make the pattern more visible. Once you become aware of its power, you will discover them almost everywhere.
The major point to remember in emphasizing a pattern is to isolate it from its surroundings. Through this process, the design is more striking and the effect of illusion of repetition is infinite. So basically, the aim is to make the pattern infinite, that by looking a photograph, the pattern must have a feel that it goes beyond the 4 corners of the photo.
Suggested Lenses for Patterns: Telephoto and Zoom Lenses in which both of these are great in isolating the designs/patterns.
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach so
She ran away in her sleep
And dreamed of
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl
She expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she’ll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she’d fly
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/coldplay/paradise_20980626.html ]
And dreams of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
She’d dream of
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She’d say, “oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise”
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be
Para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
A Play
This photoset features my day with a magnifying lens. Got to play with it and voila, I hope I made the photos look more interesting. There are a lot of photography “mini-projects” out there that you can do. Explore! Just let your imagination flow!
Sell both your kidneys on the internet.
Could this be true? Magpapatayo daw ng Disneyland sa Pampanga!? Asteg! :p
EIFF 2012: Philippine New Wave
A closer look at the spirited, ambitious and brilliantly diverse films emerging from the Philippines
In recent years, the mainstream film industry in the Philippines has remained stagnant, artistically speaking, and has done nothing to help independent filmmakers get their films made (although it has attempted to curtail their creative freedoms and profit from their output). With the arrival of affordable digital technology, however, new and established independent filmmakers have had the means of production handed back to them, which, in a large way, accounts for the new-found vibrancy, this third golden age, of Philippine filmmaking.
Getting their films seen in cinemas is still a problem for these filmmakers, however. In the Philippines, as in North America and Europe, big business continues to control distribution and exhibition. But in place of national cinema chains, the international film festival circuit is beginning to celebrate Philippine films with retrospectives and, as is the case at EIFF this year, showcases of the latest, cutting edge films. The Philippine New Wave is gaining international recognition.
