As part of the elements of design in the composition of a photograph I am asked to take at least one photograph each showing rhythm and pattern. In rhythm my eye should be drawn away from the pattern to something else. While the image of the pattern should convey its continuation.
Marishall College, Aberdeen
The image shows the regular pattern of the fassade and indicades the continuation to either side. My eye is drawn away from the building to the statue of Robert the Bruce on horseback reading out a declaration.
Factory building in Arbroath
Just as I was taking the image of the boarded up factory building, the lady appeared to hung up the washing conveying some rhythm
Arbroath Smokies
Only by chance did I notice the racks of Arbroath smokies conveying a regular pattern.
Pattern in stonework
Someone has carved these irregular patterns in the stonework to decorate a building in Arbroath
