When searching for scenes that could make a strong image, one of
the best places to start can often be to look for repeating subjects
that make a pattern. You will often hear photography instructors say
things like "patterns bring a sense of order and rhythm to an
image". I'm not sure how true that is, it's a bit "metaphysical" for
my taste. But I do know that the human eye generally enjoys a good
pattern.
Patterns can come from the subject itself, as with the beer bottles
in my example image. Or patterns could come from light, color, or even
texture. One good way to notice patterns is to get either very close
to something or very far away. By getting close, you eliminate extra
information and allow the pattern to come out (as with the beer
bottles) and by getting far away, you eliminate the specifics and
allow yourself to see patterns in a larger view of the world (think of
traffic on a freeway for example).
