‘Urban Patterns’ by @_enlivenus – “While out and about in Toronto, I came across an old 70’s inspired laundromat. Beautiful, brightly coloured street art covered the side wall and a wrought iron gate was open and leaned up against it. With the sun in perfect position, I couldn’t tell what was gate and what was shadow. To me, these urban patterns were the perfect juxtaposition; winter as the dark structured lines and the bright colours of spring waiting to escape.
A little crop and the Urban filter in PS Camera was used in post.”

‘Untitled’ by @allophile_ – “Agave plants are common enough in Arizona, but their texture and growth pattern almost always make me look twice. They emerge, so orderly, and so substantial, from such a seemingly inhospitable environment—a testament to life finding its way.
I took this with an iPhone X and used snapseed to convert the scene to black and white, then did some slight edge-blurring and vignetting to draw the eye to the ‘emerging’ in the center.”

‘Untitled’ by @mojersey – “This photograph was taken while I was on a visit to The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA. The exhibit, created by Tara Donovan, was hanging from the ceiling like a huge light fixture. I found the pattern to be so unique and familiar at the same time. I had to go over and read the caption which simply stated the exhibit was made out of nothing more then hot glue and Styrofoam cups that the artist had glued together. Her exhibit is like a huge floating cloud, really beautiful!
I used my iPhone to capture a few pictures and I loved how the light and shadows played off of each other. They seemed to bring the piece to life! The shot included here is purely a zoomed in photo showing the detail and shadowing of the piece. No filter was used, the lighting was perfect to allow me to get the capture I was hoping for. ”
Patterns in the Sand
‘Patterns in the Sand’ by @reneetakespics – “One of my favorite places to be is at the edge of land and sea, with my toes in the sand. In this shot, I was captivated by the contrast of patterns in the sand juxtaposed against the whipped cream wave. The minimal crop highlighted both. ”
Perfect
‘Perfect’ by @alice1280 – “We are lucky to have some wonderful sand dunes on the beach. This is the windy time of year alternating easterly and westerly gales. Great for dune sculpting. I walk early and like to go into the dunes just after sunrise when the light is not too harsh. I was lucky to find this undisturbed curve with its stripes and shadows.
Edited and converted to black and white with Snapseed.”
Fulton Street Station
‘Fulton Street Station’ by @jellisflambe – “This is a photo of the roof of Fulton Street Station in Manhattan. Taken during a recent trip to New York whilst on my honeymoon.
It was taken on my phone, which is an iPhone 10. All of the pictures I post on Instagram are taken using an iPhone and edited in Instagram. I was quite pleased with the raw image, however I used the adjusting option in Instagram to square it up, then some minor editing to achieve an image I was happy with. Fairly simple stuff. ”
