Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Glacial Reflection” by David Connel. Location: Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.

“I did a three-day, two-night kayaking trip to photograph the Northwestern Glacier,” explains Connel. “On the second day, there was absolutely no wind, which created a perfect reflection. Once I got the kayak into position to shoot the photo, I had to wait for all my paddle-stroke ripples to dissipate. I had to handhold my camera extremely still in order to take a series of pictures to create this HDR image.”

Many factors come into play that dictate whether or not the photographer should contemplate aiming his or her lens at a subject that catches the eye. Does the pattern itself convey symmetry? Are textures significant? Will it work in both color and black and white or will one voice have more impact? Last week, we learned about incorporating nature’s shapes and lines in your photography. Now, in part 2, we’ll cover patterns and texture, and whether black and white or color is a better choice in certain situations.

Patterns

Interesting patterns are everywhere. From close-ups on the side of a boulder to the bark of a tree, patterns can be extracted. Whenever like colors, shapes, lines or textures are repeated in specific or even random intervals, the potential to make successful pattern photographs exists.
