rhythms and patterns



Pattern: When you look around you there is pattern everywhere the problem being what looks good in a photograph?
Photograph's one and three were taken when I was putting the decorations up, I had put the tree in the window and noticed that the light caught on the glitter showing the pattern up. Photograph one is my favorite of this set I think it shows the pattern the best and how the eye can be drawn in two ways either up and down or across then up. Photography three was one of the first ones I took but overall I wasn't so happy with this one.
Photograph two is part of a shower curtain, I have found that since I started studing pattern I look for it all the time and fabric and wall paper often have good example of pattern on the.

Photographs two and three are really included as extra's as although they are both of pattern I think that one is the stongest.

Rhythm: This one was slightly more tricky but again I settled on  the tree adding a small decoration half way up this time the eye can again be drawn either from side to side or up and down but there is a 'stopping point' around the middle of the picture that adds interest to the pattern.
I decided to process one as black and white but I think the image is more 'muted ' in this one.
