Be Inspired and Learn Something New

From a prompt last year, we talked about the idea of “Cycles” to describe the way that things in photography, and in our lives, seem to repeat over and over.

Looking at it from a larger view, that repeating cycle can be seen as a Pattern.

Visually speaking, patterns make for some excellent and graphical imagery.

You could make the pattern the entire image on repeat, or try breaking the pattern with a different element or subject that adds new meaning.

If you are short on inspiration, nature provides endless patterns to draw from.

Last Week’s Prompt Photos for “Four”

Working with “Fours” can be a pattern in itself.

There was a good variety of four themed images shared over the last week, from the literal number “4”, to creative depictions of four subjects.

From low angles to tall shadows, fours came together in families, friends, and even these synchronized souls washing windows while hanging from high places.
