I like the simplicity of this image because naturally this image is spiraling stairs, however pattern is clearly shown here through the image of the shot as it shows how further down the stairs are the closer they look like they are getting, this creates an effect to the eye of the viewer as they follow the stairs into the middle. The reason this is inspiring for the element of pattern is because I like the way the repeated design is show so simply. Even though on my shoot for pattern I will not be able to get an image like this in town, I find this inspirational for later images as well .
Another image I chose for inspiration is this image on the right. The reason I like the image is because through man made objects patterns are very clear, the repeated pattern of the bikes is made clear, alongside this the black and white compliments the pattern even more so as colour is no distraction.
This is another example of how man made objects can be used in patterns, yet not purposely. The main reason I like this image is purely down to the use of focus and how only one sign is in focus, as if the photographer is saying
You don't need to clearly see the others as you already know what they are.
I believe this is a good idea to portray pattern as the viewer would be forced to followed the pattern around the image.
Furthermore, I chose this image as one to include because I like had the pattern of the shapes change on each row. In the middle there is a clear circle then a circled row of triangles followed by a row of trapeziums. The reason I like this is because it draws the eye in, personally if I were to recreate this image I would make it so there was an object in the middle rather than a circle because that would mean the pattern would lead the viewers eye to the certain object.
This is a key example of natures simplicity of pattern within an image of a butterfly. If it were possible I would like to take an image of a butterflies wings because I believe the patterns on them are purely beautiful to look at. However as there isn't that many butterflies here my chances might be slim. Another reason i like this is because it's not the colours with show the pattern clearly, if this was black and white, the pattern would still be visible.
I like the two different types of pattern in this image, the repeated shape of lady birds alongside the repeated black spots on their backs. The reason I find this photo inspiring is because I would like to create an image which has more than one type of the element- more than one pattern. This would make my images better in my opinion because at first sight someone would see the more dominant pattern then looking in with more focus they would see the repeated spots.
During the lesson today on the 24th September 2015, our task was set to take images on the formal element, pattern whilst going out into town. In this lesson I learned the simple ways which nature shows us patterns, ways that we normally pass of when walking around everyday.
Even though the leaves are repeated across the whole photo, I do not like this image. The reason for this is because it is out of focus and the angle of the plants are off. Also I don't like this image because there is something behind the leaves which I don't know what it is. I think this takes of the focus as its mainly all green yet the object isn't. Additionally, I don't like this image because the leaves are all different sizes and I think the best pattern images, all shapes need to be that same size.
Nature holds a variety of different patterns, this image is a clear example of that. Each leaf is repeated through shape and size down each part of the plant producing this beautiful out come a this patterned image on the left. The reason I have chosen this as one of my straight images is because the pure greenery and simplicity of this pattern. Even though some parts of the plant are smaller than the other, the pattern still continues throughout without one main focus point.
Secondly, Man made objects, when positioned in the correct order can create a great pattern, as shown in my photo of Toblerones. The reason I chose to take an image of this pattern if because I feel that from the angle, the pattern flows clearly down the image. The similarity between this image and the image above is that there isn't a main focus point, the way a patterned image should be. The only down side to this image is in the bottom left hand corner you can see the selling shelf which isn't part of the pattern which I should have cut out.
Naturally, people see an image such as this one and think
Even though tree stumps are seen more as the textured element, you can see in this image a pattern on it that is followed and copied down and it continues. Not only is there patterns within the tree stump, I purposely include some needles from the bush on either side because they are also repeated pattern and I like the way in which the two different patterns compliment each other as it isn't as if one takes focus off the other. 
During the lesson on the 22nd September, I was given the task to take images that portray the element of texture in town. In this lesson I intended to take a photo in which would clearly portray texture but not in a "obvious" way because I have learned through the last few lessons and whilst looking at various numbers of textured images taken by photographers that these images are a good way of gaining attention on your image. During this task I encountered many images which portrayed texture clearly yet when taking a photo, I found it hard to find the best angle to convey it in the best way.
