This is my bike. Its was taken at a sort of worms eye view. Actually, I was riding the bike when I took this picture and held the camera out to snap the photo. The bike was moving when the picture was taken but it wasn't very evident so I added motion blur to enhance that effect. Again, the photo wasn't very bright so I had to raise the brightness levels.  I like the angle the photo was taken at. It takes a second of looking at it before you realize that the object is a bike. The angle, along with the dark shade, give the picture an eerie atmosphere.I took this photo on Monday at roughly five o clock. When I look at this picture Im reminded of my bike, which is pretty new. I got it a couple months ago. Biking has become a hobby of mine in recent times.
This is the basketball hoop on my driveway. The camera made this picture really dark so I improvised and changed the photo to black and white while making it as bright as it could look naturally. I took this photo on Monday at about five o clock. I think it looks really interesting as a silhouette even though  the action itself is difficult to see.

This is a set of 24 pennies that I painstakingly lined up and photographed. The ages of the pennies used vary greatly. The penny in the upper left corner is very old and worn while the penny near the bottom middle was minted in 2010.

Repetition

I don't know if this photo could really be considered repetition. I jus liked the fact that the cars were the same color and also parked side by side.

Framing

This is the bench by the pond. The shutters were closed therefore blurring the corners of the photo. The frame is the "u" shape formed by the inside of the bench.

Framing

This is the triangle at the end of the swingset on the playground. I like the way you can see the other triangles. It gives it a feeling of repetition.

This is the foam in the gym. Its interesting because only the first three triangles are visible, and most wouldnt be able to guess what it is.
This photo I took of bench by the pond is an example of framing. It was taken at such a close angle that only one of the rungs in the bench is visible in the foreground. This rung forms a cross shape. This cross appears as a black silhouette against a "tic-tac-toe" pattern formed by the rungs towards the back of the photo. My initial interest in this photo was the way the bench forms a cross. It sort of represents my Christian faith. This photo was taken in the afternoon, during the period after lunch. When I look at this photo I am reminded of the way Jesus died to save us. Apart from being leading lines  my photo could also be considered repetition. In a way it is also framing because the top and bottom of the picture are dark from the edges of the sqaures the cross is formed from. 
I found these logs positioned in the shape of an "x" I took the photo above the logs making it birds eye view.
