In this session we were focusing our photographs on the formal element of shape. I found this easy as there are shapes all around us. The only thing which caused an issue was the fact the camera has difficulty focusing on close-ups but i think i need to google it and find out how to fix this.
This is an image which i took from our shape session, i like this because not only does it show the circular shape of the boulevard but it also shows the irregular shapes of the rain drops which have remained on the surface. I like the way the light is reflecting on some of the rain drops.
This photograph of square tiled bricks on the floor is showing the four sided square shape which has been repeated to create a pattern.
