This is part two of the assignment, leading lines.
While I was decently confident in the rule of thirds, in leading lines I wasn't anywhere near as confident.
Leading lines is when various objects are in a row and might lead towards either a scene or a person.
Here is the first of three photos I'll be putting forward as my attempt at leading lines.
In this one I took a photo of the wooden poles, that of which I have no idea what functionality they serve. Also while taking it, an older man kept looking at me like I was losing my mind or something. Or perhaps we was suspicious that I might take photos of the children playing at the playground behind me, I have no idea.
I like this photo though, perhaps one of my favourite.
Here was another attempt of mine.
While I don't exactly know the specifics of what make a photo follow under the guidelines of 'leading lines' (other than repetition) I'd guess that curves qualify. Maybe.
While the plants are pretty, I'm not fond of where they lead to. The trash can and the rather grey unattractive background. Also the sky is quite washed out and I'd rather it wasn't, but I'm not exactly a photographer with years of experience under my belt am I?
This isn't one of the three photos I'm posting for the assignment.
I'm just posting this one for fun, seeing as the snails were there and almost in a line.
Kinda cute.
Here is my third photo I'm posting for my attempts at leading lines.
It was brought to my attention that this one would have been better taken if the bridge was more visible but I thought that maybe if it was more at the side it might not have been quite the same effect. I still very much so like the look of this photo.
And that's that.
Haha...you make me laugh with the snails. It may not be leading lines, but it would count as repetition!
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to the symmetry of the first photograph and the poles. I have no idea what their purpose would be either. Thinking some sort of homage to the First Nations community that originally settled in the area. Or perhaps simply an artistic sculpture. It's a strong photo that would be made stronger if the rock in the foreground was removed. Perhaps with the bottom of the poles being on the bottom third line with more sky above, allowing us to visualize the poles having a more powerful presence over us.
Another great shoot.
