Find Subjects Suitable for Memorable 'Pattern Composition'! | Knowledge #136

Windows and balconies of buildings are patterns easily found in urban areas. The arrangement of consecutive windows or balconies creates a visually balanced composition with symmetry.

Examples of patterns found in nature include sand dunes and water surface patterns. The sand patterns created by the wind and the ripples spread by water droplets produce delicate and beautiful patterns.

Expansive flower fields are ideal subjects for capturing grand patterns created by nature. The vibrant colors and regularly blooming flowers are visually rich and attractive. By being mindful of the types and heights of flowers, you can enjoy variations in patterns.

Groups of animals also create natural patterns that appear momentarily. The sight of a school of fish swimming together or birds flying in the sky forms dynamic and rhythmic compositions. Capturing these moments requires a fast shutter speed, allowing you to depict the movement of the entire group impressively.

Old roof tiles and corrugated iron roofs are attractive subjects with regular and simple patterns. The repetition of the same shapes makes it easy to capture rhythmic photos. Additionally, emphasizing the fading colors and textures due to aging adds a nostalgic atmosphere.

Stacked boxes and barrels in warehouses or markets also create interesting pattern compositions. By skillfully utilizing the differences in shapes, colors, and materials, simple repetitions can result in impactful works. Emphasizing patterns through overhead photography is also recommended.

We have previously held a photo contest themed on 'patterns' within the community. Please take a look at that as well.
