Pattern Definition Post

Oxford dictionary definition:
A repeated decorative design.

My own interpretation  of pattern:
A repeated design with recurring features running through the image.

Patterns in photos can be either very regular or irregular. This is because of the measurements and shape of the patterns. Regular patterns are more likely to be found in photos containing man made substances, or very spectacular natural/organic substances. Whereas irregular patterns can be found in nature a lot, as the pattern is still based around a repeated design, however maybe the size varies and the spacing between the pattern varies.
