Rhythm in photography is similar to rhythm with poetry. Just like using rhyming words through out a poem gives it rhythm, using similar shapes or items in your photograph will give it rhythm. Repetition is a good way to get rhythm in a photograph. Using odd numbers is more pleasing to the eye...such as 3 or 5 of the same object or shape. You could also have a tree line that mimics the curves of the moutains in the background. Reflection is also a nice way to gain rhythm. Rhythm helps move the viewer's eyes through the picture.
This week was super busy and I haven't really had the opportunity to get any great rhythm example shots this week. I did go to the grocery store and took a pic of the brick wall. That's got rythm right, lol.
The straw pics from last week would work for this. :)
Thanks for stopping in and taking a peek...sorry it is just of a brick wall this time. This week the challenge is using negative space in your photograph. Should be fun! Check back soon.

Take a Look Around
A Little About Me & Photography
I have always enjoyed photography. As a young girl I remember driving my parents crazy always using the camera and begging them to pay extra for one hour processing. Thank goodness for digital. I love the instant gratification being able to see the photo instantly on the back of the camera. One day I made a cute little tutu and had my daughter model it for pictures. They were some of the best I had ever taken. As I looked over those photos I thought, "I want to learn more." Since then I have taken courses and joined photography groups for knowledge and support as I learn more about photography. Thank you to all of my friends and family who have patiently allowed me to practice on them. Thanks to my sister, Amy, who joins me in this learning journey. A big thank you to my sweet husband who supports and encourages me in all I do. There is so much satisfaction when I capture that perfect shot. I want to capture the everyday moments in a beautiful and creative way. I want to document the ordinary. Like the saying goes..."Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." I hope to record the little things with my photography. Little moments captured forever. It's like time in a bottle.
