String of Pearls

I just finished teaching a 5 week photography class. The "focus" of the class was composition. I introduced my students to 9 mental maps that make photo composition easy to remember. To see all the principles that we learned this semester go to http://pointshootedit15s.blogspot.com. 

Last week we studied how to take pictures of a series of things, which I called "a string of pearls." Here are some of my examples.

A grouping of lavender makes a perfect string of pearls. 

A collection of rock roses makes another "string of pearls." 

The more "classic" string of pearls is this line of lights. 

Or these fish flags. It's fun to look for strings of pearls.
