Photography Tip # 25
Leading Lines
This is a compositional tip that I am still playing with myself. What it refers to is the use of lines in a photograph to lead the viewer's eye somewhere. Maybe they will lead their eye off into the distance, may they will lead their eye right to the subject. The lines can be made of anything, a road, a river, a shadow, a building or whatever happens to be there. Here are some examples I have found in my past blog posts:
The railings in the fence almost form an arrow pointing at the couple here
and here
The combination of the shadows and the converging pathway lead your eye right through this image
more shadows and rails helping out
here the bricks do the trick
cars have lots of lines
and finally, one from the post above
Like I said, this is one that I am still experimenting with, so join me in the fun!
