Rhythm in photography refers to the regular repeating occurrence of elements in the scene, similar to how
musical rhythm involves the regular occurrence of certain musical notes over time. In photography, the repetition
of similar shapes sets up a rhythm that makes seeing easier and more enjoyable. Rhythm is soothing and our
eyes beg to follow rhythmic patterns. To be effective, rhythm also requires some variability - rhythm that is too
similar or perfect may be boring. Therefore when composing your images look for repetition with variation. For
instance if you are photographing a fence - one that is perfect will not hold a viewer's interest for long, but one
in which some of the posts are bent, broken, larger or smaller will generate more viewer interest.
