We close out Exploring with a Camera: Repetition today. It’s been a fun one! It’s been interesting to see how repetition can be both obvious and subtle. After this exploration, I will be more aware of the subtle repetitions that can really a tie a composition together. How about you?
To finish up our study of repetition, I picked this image from San Francisco. There are two repeating elements in this, both the poster repeated and the repetition of the horizontal lines across the frame. Even with the repetition, there is great contrast in this image too: Triadic color contrast of the purple and green, the vertical lines of the pipes breaking the horizontal lines, and the weeds adding a bit of nature in the urban environment. The combination of repetition and contrast makes an interesting image to me. It wasn’t until after I had chosen the photo that I realized the title on the poster, The Replicator, fits perfectly with the theme of repetition. I love it when that happens!
Today is the last day you can link in and share your study of repetition. You are invited to join us! Take a few moments of your time and visit those who have linked in as well, there are some wonderful examples here. It is always good to see multiple points of view!
Have a great weekend! I'll be off looking for repetition myself, in the form of hot air balloons at the Northwest Art & Air Festival.
PS - Don't forget to enter the giveaway I have going on right now. You have until the end of the day on Monday, 27 August to enter.
Thanks so much for this exploring topic — I loved it! So much fun to find repetition — it’s everywhere! Enjoy the festival — you’re sure to get some great shots there.
I’m glad you had fun Gina! It’s one of those you really can’t escape once you start to notice it. I can’t wait to share my hot air balloon photos!
I hadn’t thought of repetition as positive before 🙂 Thanks!
