Challenge: "Symmetry" 1/30 - 2/4/23
Jan 29, 2023 20:01:04 #
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.

I see this arrangement as another way to gain visual balance in an image.

Impressive work Pat. And William, I knew your work was yours before ever reading you name. I haven’t seen anyone duplicate your unique and insightful way of seeing and recording images of ordinary objects. Keep it up.

Here’s the end of a kitchen table I made for my daughter using spalted elm. I cut the end of the boards off and flipped them over before gluing.
