Norwegian photo clubs seem overly obsessed with photo competitions and particularly with a form called 'kolleksjon', which is about a set of pictures which somehow belong together. I don't care much about competitions, but find the 'collection' an artistically interesting theme. There are many possible angles.

Rules. I don't like rules, but let's say there should be at least three captures in the collection. I will not attempt to define alternative.

I don't think this thread will last, but it would be interesting to see what people come up with.

Of course, I will start. This Easter landscape triptych should be viewed from a distance:

This is another approach. I photographed the same volcano in three different settings, aptly called Villarrica sunshine, Villarrica sunset, and Villarrica nighttime, respectively:

Great idea. I do a similar thing with sets of two and three images that I try to sell as a group.

An old one, my only intentional "collection" so far:

Thank you for the tulips, briantho.

This one, entitled "That stick is mine", almost reads like a thriller:

OK, I think I understand this. Here are three shots on the subject of "tree sweaters."

Nice sets, guys.

Dale, was there an explanation as to why they trees needed to be clothed? Did someone take offense at their nudity?

I think the answer lies in the fact that the tree is located in front of a yarn shop with a spinning wheel on display. Business should be pretty good if we put a sweater on every tree in a state covered with forests.

Jim, wow. It does not get more triptych than this.

Great goose captures, telyt. After looking at #1 and #2, I somehow expected that the birds would have landed in the third picture. That might make the series stronger as a collection.
