9:Rhythm And Pattern

 Exercise: 2 photographs :

This in turn is one I looked forward to. Life has Rhythm In music and in sight.
light its self has waves , But to see the world and see pattern is something els.

All my life I have noticed Rhythm and Pattern . From travelling on a train watching the telephone line jump from pole to pole. To the clicking of the joints in the line. To the ploughed fields that flash by.
The ripples of sand from the waves on the beach, Wind blown rocks. Animal tracks . Man made tracks.
Nature its self, in flowers and creatures produce pattern and Rhythm. Flight.

From the exercises  previously done to this one. One can see how Natures natural Graphic Design flows through out life its self. Man for years has mimicked this and created his own. By repeating shapes and sounds. Animals, Birds sea life too. All do the same. If its weathered Naturally, it becomes life's own work of art, to be captured. If its displayed by plant or creature. Its for one reason. To be noticed!

One must be carful when photographing pattern not to get to rapped up in graphic repartition IE( the patterns that so repeat them selves in textiles)  These are seen by many and every day are in your face.

So what I tend to do is look for the un obvious. An angle or the wow factor. I know thats hard to do.  To make Pattern impress. It should show in a story, a Mood Or impact of contract and colour.

For this exercise just to photographs are required min. So here I am placing these .

Pattern may be much easier to see and find

Rhythm tends to be harder to portray to the onlooker, As we are now looking for a picture, expressing Thyme of Rhythm . Here I have been asked to show,
Graphically Rhythm:



A Good example But simple not to be confusing with colour and shapes. Foam lit from window lighting, Giving texture and shade. Looking directly down at the foam from above . the foam looks plain and consists af a basic pattern . Criss- cross. But with the use of a wide lens I have managed to capture the Pattern and sense of Rhythm . Although your eyes dance over the humps it gives a sort of Optical elution, Like the Ocean waves.
Like many patterns do. You can see lines moving left and right. Rhythm of bumps.

Rhythm can also be seen in the dragons humps. But the timing seem constant and not as a Rhythm, as I would like to show. Like music it does not have its highs and lows. like a rope . The fetch of a wave.


This picture has more Rhythm in is graphic spirit, as the Rhythm is broken, and then repeated again and again, Simply, a roof top from a road bridge. I have cropped this photograph.  I have seen this in another pattern. I hope to go back and photograph it again. Its like the bass sound, pounding from a loud speaker.

Pattern

Shadows in a car park exit, made by the setting sun. Often I get frustrated when travelling and missing the shot But this time, topped  the car to capture this contrasting pattern.


A banana leaf back lit from behind . Natures Own work.
