Project 52, Week 18, Interaction of lines

This week we put everything together and look for composition with different types of lines.

The photo Leading Lines Curved on Photo Junkie illustrates leading lines, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines,curves, irregular lines and converging lines. 

This short article on How to Use Lines in Photography Compositions by Ron Bigelow  from PICTURECORRECT has 3 photographs illustrating composition with lines.

• The first photograph shows a fence with vertical and horizontal lines.  The shore line is irregular.  The fence goes from front to back and, in the background, stretches part way across the horizon.
• The railroad yard in the second photo shows vertical lines, straight lines, curved lines, diagonal lines, and converging lines.
• The last picture, "tube" illustrates arcs, curved lines, converging lines, straight lines, and horizontal lines.  Do you think the posters represent C-curves?

Peter Grossman's photo Two in One only shows straight lines, but they are vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and zigzag.  They definitely are interacting.

Things to consider:

• Do the multiple lines create an unpleasant, unsettling scene or do they make the scene and story more interesting and vibrant?
• Tip: Yes can be the correct answer for either choice.
