Patterns in a composition can take many forms. It adds an interest depth in the photograph, or an element of chaos. Patterns are the repetition of shapes or similar shapes. It works in macro, landscape, and most other types of photographs.

Patterns are naturally occurring in nature, or created by man. Either way, intentional use of patterns creates a greater depth in the photograph. In the image above, the main patterns are created by the clouds in the sky, and the patchy snow on the meadow.

Patterns take many forms. It is simply the repetition of a shape, color, or color. The above photograph is a common murre colony. The pattern comes from the multitude of birds with their consistent black and white coloring.

Sometime, the goal is to fill the frame with something that creates an interesting scene, and it also includes a pattern. It this case, the common murre offer the visual of a nesting colony and the pattern of their shape / coloring.

Then, there is the multitude of flower. This pattern of pink is broken up by the strong lines of the tree branches. The subject matter is endless. . .

Happy Shooting. . .Karen

August is the month I teach The Art of Photographing Birds locally. It’s one day of classroom instruction, and in-the-field shooting in a diverse series of eco-systems.

Students learn photography tips, etiquette, exposure, and more. It is a great class for beginner to intermediate photographers who use a DSLR or Point and Shoot camera.

We will work on stop-action, portrait, and environmental types of bird photography. Students will learn verbally, visually, and hands-on. There will be ample time to photograph birds, ask questions, and have a quick critique or two.

The class is through the EdCC Continuing Education. Click here to learn more information or sign-up.
