Produce at least two photographs, one conveying rhythmn and the other pattern. The difference being that rhythmn makes the eye follow an optical beat. Patterns can fill the frame and may even extend beyond it.
Rythmn
A moment seized through the car windscreen: jubilee bunting zigzagging up through Keswick in June 2012. You can imagine a waltz playing in the background as it crosses up and down the road.
Jubilee bunting again (also in June), this time attached to the Bridge Hotel in Buttermere, Cumbria. There are two rythmns here playing from left to right - the top one with intermittent beats by the larger round objects and a constant lighter beat by the bunting below. The car at the end seems to represent the end of the rhythmn - perhaps a crash of symbols!
Pattern
Pictures for sale in Brighton forming a regular geometric pattern. The actual pattern extended beyond the frames and in shooting I was restricted by the 55-200mm lens I had on me at the time. The gaps in between the pictures are interesting - you can see either a pattern of squares or a pattern of criss-crosses. I really like the colours and the recognisable household names.
The ferris wheel on the promonade at Brighton. I have cropped the photo and changed the colours so that it now resembles the segments of a citrus fruit.
