Exercise: Rhythms and patterns.

We are to produce two photographs, one which will show rhythm, the other pattern.

Rhythm.

In a photo that is displaying rhythm there must be sequence in the picture, this is so that the eye will follow a particular direction and experience an optical beat. Repetition is very important here with each chimney in a line, equal distance apart.

I like how the eye follows each chimney from the right to the left of the frame.

Pattern.

When photographing pattern I decided to, rather randomly, photograph a drain cover. I have never really paid any attention to them before but I noticed that they do have a pattern to them. For this shot I was careful to ensure that the pattern filled the frame so that the viewer will imagine that the pattern continues beyond the frame.

 I realise the image is not overly interesting but I feel it makes the point well.

This is the last exercise before assignment two, I hope that I have improved since the first assignment.
