Patterns, Shapes and Lines in Nature

Patterns, Shapes and Lines in Nature

I love seeking out patterns, shapes, lines and colorful subjects in nature.  It’s good exercise for my eyes and brain.  Nature is a never ending supply of all of these things.  Below are some photos of various plants, flowers and trees that caught my eye. The first photo is titled Music in the Garden, because the blades of grass reminded me of musical notes.

Photography Tip - Using Repetition Creatively

Seeking out and photographing repeating patterns is a great way to exercise your eye so to speak.  It forces you to slow down and really observe your surroundings. It’s amazing what you will find and see when you slow down. Botanical gardens are treasure troves of repeating patterns and one of my favorite places to take photographs with my 70-200mm lens.
