As photographers, we are drawn to patterns probably without even realizing it. It’s an integral part of composition. This week Ann Christine helps make us aware of these patterns by challenging us to look for them in our photos.
I’ll start with patterns found in architecture.
Nature offers patterns of her own.
And, how about fabric!
Here are some more examples of patterns we find as we photograph.
Finally, we can make our own patterns in post as we have fun processing.
Thank you Ann Christine for challenging us with this fun topic. Please link to her post if you have yet to find and show us your own patterns and use the Lens Artists tag. Last week, we had fun seeing your creative diagonals. Tina will be challenging us next week. Be sure to look for her post. Stay safe this holiday season.

All are great shots Anne, but the one with the shopping carts is incredible – never pictured them like this! Also love the staircase and the shadows cast by the furniture 🙂

What a great response to the patterns challenge. The shopping carts are terrific as it is something we see all the time but,in a way, we don’t see .

Thank you Anne! Photography does get us looking at things we ordinarily wouldn’t. For me, it’s like my brain switches on.

Lovely collection of patterns. The shadows of the chairs make for as lovely a photo as the cast iron patterns in the spiral staircase.

Terrific set Anne – like many others I really loved the shopping carts and you are so right, as photographers we see things we might otherwise simply pass by! Also loved the quilt pattern. Terrific post.

You’re so right, I think we are all very aware of and attracted to patterns. You have some great examples here. The shopping trolleys are a clever spot and the zoomed lights really effective 😀

Nice selection of patterns, but I really was struck by the shopping cart image. The zoom lights next to it are pretty cool, especially with the reflection.
