I always learn something new.

Task: Capture an image from above. Extra credit is given for knolling.

I might head the word, but never knew its meaning. Here it is how it was described: Objects are arranged as 90 degree angles from each other and then photographed from above. Never the less I took pictures from eye-sight as well, so people can recognized the location. It might take some time to distinguished from the fountain among the coins any pattern but it is there. (Before you give up look at the tiles.)

My weekly assignment: FIVE

To increase my own challenge, I restricted myself to capturing photos from Cleveland.

Task: Capture an image containing five similar subject in the frame.

The easy way out would be to find a digital clock and at 5:55 pm incorporate it into the picture. But the whole idea is to find something new. Take birds and try to line them up in a certain pattern. Capture five people in a picture with some similar pose, expression or action. Or simply look for a landmark with a distinctive design element which contains five. I spent more time walking around and just observing than taking the images. However I feel that this is how you train your eyes and brain, to be perceptive.

These eye candies are all from Cleveland.

Task: Capture an image containing either a cube or square.

Honestly, square is not the most inspiring subject. However, I was surprised at some of the "gems" the city has to offer. The clock as a downtown landmark is not too exciting, but framing the image in a symmetrical composition has its own challenges. The second photo is a building interior. It is currently used as a supermarket. Sorry, but I do not own a wide-enough lens. I used my 28mm Elmarit, but it was not adequate. The last image is the most interesting. The edifice is a converted building facade, built in 1971 as an office tower. Currently, it is used as a residential and hotel complex. You really have to look for it to find beauty in it, but once you process the picture, the image does have certain captivating qualities visually.
