I love these challenges because they get me thinking about how I shoot. This week’s Lens-Artists challenge is from Patti Moed and is on symmetry.
I mostly shoot asymmetrical because I find it more pleasing to my eye. However, I do like to do macro shots of flowers and tend to fill the frame in camera. When I do shoot symmetrically, it’s usually a road or building. Again, this is mostly institutively since I don’t have any art training.
So, with that in mind, here are my examples of symmetry.
Vertical
This tree divides the image in half. 
This walkway leads your eye down the path. 
Although not exactly identical on both sides, it does lead your eye down both sides of the hotel.
Horizontal
This sunset is a traditional horizontal image. 
This lotus blossom seems to be looking in a mirror!
Radial
This lotus blossom leaf was so round an big, it formed a bowl, resulting in two circles. 
This busy round-a-bout caught my eye because of the circle. Of course, I shot it in an asymmetrical fashion!
Thanks again Patti! I loved this challenge, and I’m looking forward to next weeks’.
