35. Day 24: Rough Diamonds

Happy Friday!! It's almost lunchtime here in sunny California :)  I still don't know what I'm going to eat, but that's something I'm going to worry later :P

Today's pattern is a tangled one.  Can you guess what it is?  If you thought of a fence, it's not. It's something you can use every day.

34. Day 23: Pleasant or annoyance?

I wanted to create a nice pattern with several jars and while I was doing it I had this idea... what if one of the jars is upside down, just opposite to the rest.  How is gonna be the reaction of each person that looks at it? It will be something pleasant or annoying? 

I have to tell you that in my particular case, I really really want to turn that jar over!! hehehe I can't stand it that way!! But, that's also what I find interesting in the photo :)

33. Day 22: Line

Today I wanted a different approach of the pattern, that's why I chose to use a really shallow depth of field. I don't know you but in my case I feel like I have a 3D glasses hehehe

32. Day 21: Tricolor

This will be a short post because I'm really tired and want to go to bed. As I told you in a previous post I'll continue taking photos of patterns. For today I choose this beautiful three colors.  I still want to experiment more in order to create a different photo with a similar pattern.

31. Day 20: Love is in the air

Today is not about patterns, but love! Love is all around us, even in the kitchen :)  If you look closely maybe you'll find hearts in the things that you use or scrub everyday.

I discovered today's subject a couple of days ago when I was washing the dishes hihihi and I thought wow! that's nice!!  Who could have suspected to find a heart there!  

Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite you!

30. Day 19: Greens

I told you already that I really like patterns, and today I found one in the most unusual place.  You'll see more photos of this kind of pattern in the future because I love the combination of colors that it has! :)  

At the end of the series of pattern photos I'll tell you what was the whole subject, because you'll always see a small part of it.

29. Day 18: Panorama - 2nd try

This morning I dive again in the panorama area :)  I wanted to capture the scenery before the sun got stronger and higher in the sky. Today's capture was better and in focus! hehehe

As you can see it's a beautiful sunny day here, ideal to be outside enjoying nature and outdoor activities, so I'll wrap up this post in order to open the blinds and enjoy every bit of sunshine :D  (I have a big window next to my desk and with the sun can't see anything on the screen).

Happy Saturday! :D

28. Day 17: Panoramic - 1st try

T.G.I.F.!!! It was a very busy day today, so my post came a little bit later than usual.  I watched an amazing on-line class at Creative Live called "Fundamentals of photography" (it lasted 5 days). The instructor was knowledgeable and the class was super dynamic.

One of the topics was panorama (I never tried panorama before with a DSLR, so it's all new for me).  After watching the class I decided to give it a try and see the results.  The stitching program did a good job at stitching the photos but I missed the focus in a couple, so the shot is kind of crappy :(  Next time I should look better to adjust the focus. Anyway, I'll continue practicing to see if I can nail panorama and focusing during night time :D

Have a wonderful weekend!
