When you take pictures, patterns can be used very effectively in making your shots much more interesting.
This article will show you how to use them favorably.
Patterns are everywhere.
They are all over the place in the room I'm tying in right now and I can guarantee that they're all over the place where you're at as well.
Using these patterns in your photos is really quite simple.
Simply point your camera and take the picture.
Of course, it is not as simple as that, but you get what I mean.
When you find a really good pattern, ask yourself what the best possible way could be to capture that pattern.
For example, if you see hundreds of flowers that make a noticeable pattern, how would you capture it? Would you go from eye level, would you try to get high to have an overhead shot? Brainstorm how these different perspectives will have an effect on the pattern and maybe even sketch a quick visual in your mind of how it will look.
Lines Patterns a lot of the time have lines and shapes in them.
These shapes and lines usually can be used as leading lines to lead to a specific point of interest.
I once took a picture with a bunch of flowers that formed a pattern.
I arranged the shot so the flowers lead to a large rock and made it look as if the flowers were all praising a rock.
Using Patterns to Show Uniqueness You can also use patterns to show the uniqueness of a particular object.
For example, a picture of hundreds of black cars with one white truck in the middle will immediately draw interest towards the white truck.
