Last week’s photo assignment was to explore the use of color and shoot something that features color as the main aspect of the image. I started the week super excited about the assignment – meaning I thought it would be easy – but as the week continued and I wasn’t happening upon any amazing color combinations, my enthusiasm faded.

I ended up staging a shot at home, which I guess worked out to my advantage because I combined the primary assignment with the bonus assignment of shooting a pattern. I like how the pattern is reflected on the surface of the creamer.

I shot a few other pattern photos over the course of the week, including this tree image from my weekend visit to the botanical garden:

While at the garden, I also started to see leading lines everywhere. I wasn’t that happy with my fence assignment from Week 3, so I decided to try again. Here are a few of my second attempts:

There’s only one week of my class left. I better make it a good one!
