  2. RHYTHM photos A beat created by form

  3. rhythm • Rhythm: is the repetition of elements that helps add balance and harmony to the whole. • Too much similarity in the shapes and placement and it becomes boring. You also need variety.

  4. RHYTHM • Rhythm is a strong, regular, repeated pattern that forms a harmonious sequence.

  5. • Alternating rhythm: This sense of rhythm consists of successive patterns in which the same elements reappear in a regular order. A common example of this alternating theme can be seen in the columns of a classic Greek temple. Photographically, alternating light against dark areas or using complementary colors, such as green and red, is a way to create this effect.

  6. Progressive rhythm: This is produced through the repetition of a shape that changes in a regular manner, generating a sequential pattern. It is frequently accomplished with a progressive variation of the size of a shape, through its color, value, and/or texture.

  7. Rhythm can be described as timed movement through space; an easy, connected path along which the eye follows a regular arrangement of motifs. The presence of rhythm creates predictability and order in a composition • Rhythm depends largely upon the elements of pattern and movement to achieve its effects.

  11. Ten most common shooting errors Adapted from Andre Gunter

  12. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 1. Images are too cluttered (less is more) • In Photography, less is often more. Before pressing the shutter-release button, ask yourself what you first noticed in a scene that made you want to take this photo. Then try to isolate whatever you saw, without including too much in the scene

  13. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 2. Risk taking and patience. There is no Bad Weather in Photography and… wait for the scene to be right • This is a myth. For Photography there is no such thing as bad weather. Go out in it, make the most of the light or lack there of. On the other hand, wait for the cloud to move,the sun to set etc.

  14. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 3. Not checking your lighting • Don’t shoot a person or object in front of a window unless you want a silhouette. • When shooting portraits or interiors set up some dramatic lighting

  15. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 4. The Digital Attitude • Digital Photography is a blessing. You can take as many photos as you want without paying a dime and you can get instant feedback in the field. Take lots of photos, don’t delete any until you are home.

  16. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 5. The Photoshop Attitude • So if you think a photo didn't come out right and if you have the chance, always take another one. Sometimes it is said “Garbage in - Garbage out”. The same applies to Photoshop.

  17. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 6. Unwanted things in a scene • Before pressing the shutter, take your time and scan the scene through your viewfinder. Scan it with your eye from the upper left all the way to the lower right, focusing your mind on trying to find these items. Often times a slight change in angle or a step left or right can solve the problem and make a photo so much better

  18. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 7. Always shooting from eye level while standing up • Oftentimes a scene can be much more interesting if photographed low (i.e. on your knees or belly)…or high… stand on a chair or ladder!!

  19. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 8. Placing People in the Picture • People laughing and joking or having fun going after some activity is much more interesting than having them pose together in front of the camera. Or if you do place them in front of a monument or landscape put them on a rule of thirds focal point.

  20. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 9. Not including other people • This one is a 180 degree turn from the previous item on the list. There are perfectly valid reasons to include people in photographs. Often I wait for people to leave the picture, not realizing that they belong in the scene. People can give a sense of scale or depth or they can add a narrative component

  21. TEN MOST COMMON ERRORS • 10. Wrong Perspective • Your camera has a zoom function, doesn't it? Use it!!!! Look at your negative positive space and balance it. Don’t leave too much functioning space.
