Composition: Lines, Symmetry and Patterns

Photographs are two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional scenes. So we need to make the sense of depth for our viewer. When you compose an image in the viewfinder, look for natural or artificial lines that might lead the viewer�s eyes through the photo. These lines can create a sense of depth and perspective that is often lost in the two-dimensional photograph. In other words, lines can be found in several situation please see all 360 degree before you will take pictureJ.
Line: Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal
Horizontal lines

As highlighted, these are the most �relaxing� of lines, bringing a peace to your photographs. In fact, run the horizon directly through the centre of your frame, with an equal amount of sky and landscape on each side, and you�re on the way to a dull photograph! Naturally, this isn�t always the case. But it�s good practice to think about which element of your scene is more impressive and move the horizon higher or lower to emphasise it.
You can take this to extremes. To really bring out a stunning sunset, full of rim-lit, interesting clouds, find a subject that�ll make a striking silhouette, then render it small at the bottom of your frame. Layers of horizontal lines can provide a rhythm to your picture � think of a wave breaking on the shore, more waves coming into view and the horizon in the background. This �rhythm� of lines can become the subject itself.

Vertical lines

Strong, dynamic lines. Combine horizontal lines with these to create more powerful results. When we think of vertical lines, we think of trees, buildings and people.
If you want to emphasise their height and power, try switching to a vertical format for your photograph � you can then increase their size, while their strength will be mirrored by the longest sides of the frame.
Conversely, you can make vertical lines seem as if they�re bursting out of the picture if you opt for landscape format, running the top and bottom ends of the line out of the frame.
Thankfully, the digital advantage means we can correct converging verticals with ease in post-production, further strengthening the power of the vertical line.

Diagonal lines

The most interesting and visually exciting lines. They can lead you into the frame to the centre of interest by the most dynamic of routes.
As viewers we tend to take more notice of subjects cutting through our vision.
Avoid splitting the frame directly in two by running a diagonal line from one corner to the other � the picture tends to lose its drive. It�s more interesting to have a diagonal start just to one side of a corner and continue through the frame to the other side of the opposite corner. You�ll have a more balanced image that works within the confines of the frame.

Form above ideas we can use this feeling of the lines to make sense for our frame....let's try and try for gaining the experiences for composition.

Besides, another trick is look for repetition and patterns, and incorporate those into your image. Patterns, like those that you see in nature or man-made objects, can create interesting effects. Such as:
