I haven't had time to post anything in a very long while and rarely even get the chance to read through the UHH posts anymore, but this one caught my eye as a few images from my archives immediately came to mind.

It looks like I posted the symmetry images on the free Sunday, so I will post them again here. Whoops!!

I looked through the archives and found a few symmetrical images. The first is a small church in the Grand Tetons with a look out the picture window behind the alter, second is a covered bridge in Princeton, Illinois, next is the Rockefeller Chapel on the campus of the University of Chicago, Hull Court on the U of C campus, Sculpture at the Fermi Lab in Batavia, Illinois, next is a stairwell that I mirror-imaged from the Dillon Museum in Sterling, Illinois, The Lincoln Room in the Elk's Memorial in Chicago, Illinois, A drone view of a train trestle bridge located in Lemont, illinois, a balcony view of the deserted and deteriorated Palace Theater where Michael Jackson performed in his younger years, and last is the Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, Illinois. If you look at the download the colors and detail look good. I hope you all like them!

P. 12 Steve, these are astounding pictures of symmetry!! Architecture, no matter how simple or intricate, is incredible in this regard. I tend to be assymetrical in my thinking but this post gives me, along with so many of you other UHHers's posts have made me look at things differently.

Some great images in this section! Here are some of mine taken in a London train station. First one is as taken, second is mirrored once, the third mirrored twice.


P. 12 Again, architecture is incredibly symmetrical but this, because of the curves, almost has a floral look to it. Stupendous post!!

Hope you enjoy.

P. 10 Tim, Great work. What features in post processing does one use to get these results? I've been trying some things but haven't found kaleidoscopes, or whatever.

P. 13 Steve,
I'm starting to see symmetry in all sorts of things and, therefore, beauty and art. Thanks for your posts.

It has been a while since we had this as a challenge topic (oops, I almost wrote "Sermon Topic - oh well, it's Sunday).


"In photography, symmetry appears when parts of your composition mirror other parts. It is created when two halves of your scene look the same and balance each other out. Symmetry defines something being clean, proportional and balanced and will make pictures appear neat, tidy and clinical." (definition from a photography newsletter).

Symmetry can be vertical, horizontal and I suppose, any plane in between. It also may not be your most common photographic composition (speaking for myself as I had few examples)

So, let's get a little "balanced, neat and tidy" thread going....knowing that an image may not be perfectly symmetrical, but we can try.
