I agree, the onions is the best of the series...

hoping this message finds you well -Ian

It's 4:30 in the monring but these pix are making me hungry.

For the theme of patterns and repititions, I think the ribs picture works best but the onion picture has more visual interest and punch.

I think you should keep shooting and see what you come up with. Of course that is selfish on my part because I really enjoy seeing what you come up with.

Ginger,
I agree the ribs is the best in this series for the challenge. The onions are very nice but I think they would be better served in a challenge titled "one" I think that ones coming up soon....
Anyway nice job, can't wait to see more (I'm sure you can find some birds with pattern and repetition, if your so inclined

)

Gosh, thank you all for commenting! I photographed all afternoon, neglected my dogs who were in cages to go get these photos. It is only once a week they have farmers market.

No one commented on my "people" shot, no one commented on my "osprey" shot. I here by recommend you all for the prize for contributing comments.

What made me go to the farmers market was the fact I stopped in Barnes and Noble, was reading photography books, several showed food as example of shots of patterns. One book said that it made the shot more interesting to add one thing of a different color to the shot????? I guess that would be one.

I personally like the "Green and White" shot best for no better reason than the fact it appeals to me.

I don't know what to take a shot of............the photography books were all wrong.

I will probably stay home today. I do love the farmer's market, but at the same time I need to get home to my dogs on Tues. Such a problem. Most people take their dogs, but I have three, and my camera and bag, it is just ME........don't know what I will end up doing for that place that just opened again for the season.

And I am back to not knowing what a pattern is.

A couple more from the market
These have more of a pattern, not that they are that interesting, oh hum! I don't mean I don't like them, I do, I do, I almost passed out the tomatoes were so pretty at the market, with all their little green things, most people take off the green things. The glass jars, they were there, I was excited, but oh so worried about my dogs (I should have been, too, I had accidentally left the Yorkshire Terrier outside for 8, or more, hours, while the others were crated.) All the Yorkie wanted to do was drink water, the others ate and drank.

I really like the glass jars, but I am having trouble working them up. Light or dark and how much, so I will put up a few, or a couple, of the same photo.

That is too light, I know, but is this too dark?

I like the "Green and White" and the "Glass Jars" best, still. Wish I had spent more time on the glass jars, but there is a definite pattern in the diagonal line here, isn't there?

Gotta get more? Something else? I used 2 gbs of memory on the osprey and only had a 512 mb card left. I shoot in RAW. I got all these, and the photos on the people thread, out of the 512 mb card and only TWO osprey shots.

Eric&Susan · April 20, 2005

I like the jars best. I like how the circles of the jars and the squares of the crate go together yet still stand out on their own. The angle of the shot really helps also. good job

Eric

digital faerie · April 20, 2005

hey ginger! *hugs*

I like the jars best, especially the 2nd version. perhaps the sunlight could be punched up a bit, it's soooo beautiful

Gator · April 20, 2005

I love the tomatoes! The 2nd glass jars is also a keeper! I probably love the shot of the tomatoes because I love the vibrant, vivid color!

Beautiful shots all of them!

GREAPER · April 20, 2005

The Tomatoes is my Favorite.

aero-nut · April 20, 2005

Ginger, nice job all around, but the tomatos definately catch the eye because of the intense color.

davev · April 20, 2005

I like this one best, but, the tomatoes at the bottom are a little out or focus.

Sandy · April 21, 2005

The jar shot is really nice, but I like the tomato shot because it really stands out.

snapapple · April 21, 2005

The tomatoes or the jars?
Ginger,

I love the tomatoe shot. It's perfect for the theme and very colorful. But I have the problem of wondering about a "hook". I have that problem with my shots too. But, is it really necessary? I don't know. Andy's example in the challenge thread has the little something extra with the cloud reflections.

The jar shot has something extra. It has nostalgia. It makes you think. The pattern is not as strong as the tomatoes though. I don't know. I don't want to steer you wrong. I like the second jar shot with the extra brightness. Maybe the tomatoes need a sign on them, or a bug, or something.
Don't know, but I like those two the best.

I like the shapes for the egrets shot. gotta love a good s-curve.

perhaps the sky blue could get punched up?

ginger_55 · April 23, 2005

Thanks, DF, I will work on the sky. I have other shots of those, wish I could have gotten three. They were spinning, the traffic was going and stopping.......

$29.00 for those things. The guy says they are handmade. Didn't look handmade to me.

g (I wanted to buy a bunch and make my whole yard look egret trashy) (They did have flamingos, I could have thrown one of those in, but my trademark is an egret)

Flyinggina · April 24, 2005

I love the egrets shot.

DF may be right about the sky, but I wouldn't saturate it too much more because there is a pastel feel to the bird sculptures that you don't want to overwhelm. Don't know if this pix would be a contender for this challenge -- I just don't have a good idea yet of where things are going. My suspicion is that a macro shot will take the prize. But I love the picture (or did I say that already?).

Virginia

Lucky Hack · April 24, 2005

This is a great shot for the contest, it has pattern, two or three if you count the grain of the wood, the pattern of the glass has modulus ( they're not all at the same height,) and the way the light dances through the glass is b-e-a-u-tiful! I can see a tiny little sunset it in each glass. Wait, listen,.... do you hear that... its the sound of jealousy, this shot has some really great elements. If you don't use it, give it to me and I will!

Thanks, Virginia. I made a business card, or I am making one, out of the one like my Avatar. I love these things, too.

Patterns and Repetitions
I did this a few days ago, same day as egrets, figured I might as well post it. Used my dreaded 70-200 lens, suppose that is the most unique thing about it................and the frame, haven't seem many like this. g

The New, New Bridge

Andy · April 24, 2005

yer on track with many of these, ginger. try to get down lower though, to the 'maters, the onions, etc. open wiiiiiide the aperture and focus on just one tomato maybe 1/3 the way in .... and let the rest be oof and more

love the ribs - same deal, get closer! let me enjoy them fully

i think the bikes are *mint*

ginger_55 · April 25, 2005

Thanks for the suggestion, Andy. I am hoping the weather is nice for the Farmer's market on Tues. That is a good idea on those tomatoes. I think. I don't know how close I can get, and it will be the wide angle. Or the 70-200, but that did not work well, did not work at all, last week. I had to stand too far away. I should get a close up filter or something for one of my lenses, but wouldn't know which one, don't think I really have the lens for it. Will try.

Gosh I am tired, I am rambling. So much. And now that I have started shooting that bridge, there is a contest, here, ending April 10th. Can't shoot it from where I was on that one. I wasn't going to enter, but hey.......... I am just sitting here not doing much, might as well.

I think my husband is going to kill me if I talk him into going one more place.

And I have not put this much work into the challenge in many months. I have ideas, I just can't find them. In multiples........I was at the bird rookery yesterday when the light was right for the challenge. If I could get a good storm, not the day of the farmer's market, I could get a photo of the bridge and use it for this and locally. Or I could go corral the egrets and make them stand in a line............

g (Pulled a hamstring doing this and I am no longer walking upright)

Thanks for stopping.
