This weeks challenge theme was patterns. The object is to shoot all week long and then post your favorite photo at the end of the week.
For me this week the favorite is a hard one to choose so I’m posting two! Both were shot in Nashville, Tennessee on Monday, the first day of the polar vortex that brought all the cold weather to our region. It was 7 degrees when I ventured away from the warmth of my SUV to take both these photos, and that’s not counting the wind chill factor.
The big stack of cars came from a salvage yard and I just love the patterns and colors that are represented here in this photograph. I’ll wager that if you were to figure the cost of each of these cars at their new price, there’s a lot of money crammed into this pattern photo.
Exposure info: Nikon D800, 1/4000 @ f/5.6, ISO 500 with a Nikon 70-300mm lens at 300mm.
The second photo of the bikes is pretty much right downtown. Didn’t know the city was doing bike rentals like this, but it’s a great idea and provided me a great source of a pattern picture. Even the sidewalk has a pattern! Another shot that I love.
Exposure info: Nikon D800, 1/60 @ f/18, ISO 720 with a Sigma 24-70mm lens at 24mm.
