Group Feature: That's one reason why the feature photography field remains comparatively uncrowded, despite its obvious advantages over spot news coverage. It's easier for the cameraman to come up to the standards of news photography than to those of feature photography. There are many photographers perfectly capable of doing features, and who would like to do them, who never get into the field for the simple reason that they don't ever see the opportunities all around them for feature pictures. They lack the knack, something akin to the "nose for news" mentioned in the previous chapter, to recognize feature picture material.
Medium-sized, main-feature plants can be grown with stronger-growing trailing plants to keep the display well in scale.
Trailing plants will help to soften harsh outlines, but remember to leave sufficiently exposed any container with a pleasing shape, especially if it has prominent decoration.
To COUNTERACT the long narrow shape of a window-box, you should make every attempt to avoid planting in straight rows. More informality can be given to the display by varying the heights of the main plants and by softening the effect with filler plants. One way to make an attractive planting is to group feature main-feature plants first and then put fillers in between.
A group feature G is a cyclic group feature if there is a single element x in G that generates G. If G is a cyclic group feature of order n, then G rantains the n distinct elements x", x1, x2, . . . , of'1. In this group feature x" = e, and n is the least positive power of x that is the identity element e. If a cyclic group feature G generated by x is infinite, there is no integer m^=Q for which xm = e. All cyclic group features are abelian group features because x"x" = x"+m = 1*1". The additive group feature of integers is an infinite cyclic group feature generated by 1. In this group feature we use multiples of 1 instead of powers. |
