Organization Of The Many

Another aspect of photography I'd love to improve on is seeing organization in the many. A lot of my flickr friends are good at this. I have a few examples, but literally just a few. When executed well the photo has a noticeable focal point, but one which does not overwhelm the rest of the frame - similar shapes or patterns still emerge. Some personal favourtes:


Black-Eyed Susans

 

 


Goldenrod

It's extremely satisfying to my eye when you can show the multiples - the variation within - while still maintaining balance in the composition. Plants commonly grow amongst the same vegetation - in showing the surroundings this way, it gives a good depiction of the whole rather than an isolated part.

More foliage shots to come as I can find them...

You should take a pic of leaves falling when the wind blows. It's pretty... Lol. Can you camera take a shot that quick?

I'd LOOOVE to get a shot like that.
Any camera can do it really, just need to set it up for continuous shooting and prefocus somewhere in the vicinity of where the leaves will fall cause you won't have time to do it when it happens.
Then you pray it's like a BLIZZARD of them falling and not one or two lol.
