Patterns/Textures can easily be spotted
everywhere and the best moments to capture
the details of it is during the day time. 

If we were to pay close attention to daily
objects around us, we could discover the
uniqueness in every different patterns/textures
that could bring inspirations to us.
Patterns & Textures          
Project: Photography
Venue: Marina Barrage (Singapore)


Patterns 01
Aperture: 5
Focal Length: 40
Exposure: 1/2,500


In this photograph, I wanted to capture the repetition of the shelthered
corners on the platform with the tilted triangular shelthers. I aim to achieve
a horizontal composition where the platforms, the land and the sea has the horizon.



Textures 02
Aperture: 5.6
Focal Length: 120
Exposure: 1/400


In this photograph, I wanted to capture the texture of the water at the
reservoir and with a round platform to create a sense of balance in the
photography. There is also contrast between the rough texture of the water
and the smooth and less textured platform. This photograph allows viewer
to feel a sense of chaos with the waves being hyped up.



Textures 03
Aperture: 5
Focal Length: 24
Exposure: 1/20,000


To show how the lines and the tiny textures on the tree branches when 
the sun shines onto it. It creates an organic look with the branches branching
out in various directions, and contrasting with the light pale blue sky.

There is an asymmetrical balance where the right side of the photograph to have a
heavier weight with the leaves than the left but they are still balanced in this photograph.



Textures 04
Aperture: 5.6
Focal Length: 140
Exposure: 1/200


This photograph captures the textures and the patterns of the leaves.
The light shines onto the surface of a leaf; contrasts it against the other
leaves that are in a darker tone. I love this photography as it shows the
details of the leaves, each has a different strokes onto them and the water
droplets on the surface of the leaves makes them look fresh.



Patterns 05
Aperture: 5.6
Focal Length: 90
Exposure: 1/60


I aim to capture the repetitive patterns among the dining
plates, and the standing metal poles. I have also created a sense
of asymmetrical balance between the poles and the dining tables.


Textures 06
Aperture: 5
Focal Length: 40
Exposure: 1/1,600

I capture the close-up scene of rusty textures on the metal poles as I felt 
that many people may have seen such metal poles along the roadside,
but what I would like to capture is a closer look of the rusty texture that
creates it's unusual and unique patches on the surface which it is the
interesting part which I would like to highlight in this photograph.



Textures 07
Aperture: 5
Focal Length: 80
Exposure: 1/160




Patterns 08
Aperture: 5
Focal Length: 35
Exposure: 1/1,250


In this photograph, the lines are pointed towards a vanishing point 
on the right side of the photograph and with the repetition of vertical
poles and tree trunks which creates a sense of harmony in this photograph.
