Pattern

For this group of images, I decided to explore the patterns inherently created by the shadows of the palm trees. Since the trees are arranged in a geometric form, there is always overlap of trees and their shadows to see. The shadows were especially interesting during the time I was photographing, so I mainly focused on the lines that the cast shadows created, especially their intersection with the trees themselves and the bricks underfoot. This allowed me to create images with sharp angles and repetition of dark and light areas.

My first image looks at the angle between a tree and its own shadow. It also has some good repetition of other trees' shadows.

In this image I tried to emphasize the right angle that exists between the shadows and the trees.

I also liked the pattern the shadows made by themselves on the ground, especially against the pattern of the bricks.
