Photo Thirteen
Learning about how to use lines to lead to your focal point.
Here are a few things learned from this endeavor.
A successful leading line will lead your eye into the picture
and take it right to the main subject or center of interest.
The best leading lines will start at the lower left area of
the picture frame but not in the exact corner.
Some lines that lead your eyes around pictures easily are
roads, fences, shorelines, rivers, trees, or pathways.
The main subject will act as a stopper and hold the eye in the frame.
Lines can be used to frame your subject as well.
Diagonal lines emphasize power, movement, and energy.
Horizontal lines show strength, height, dignity, and grandeur.
Vertical lines show calm, peacefulness, softness, and tranquility.
Curvy lines are elastic and show charm and beauty.
Lines can be implied as well.
You can imply them by placing your object without four walls of your photograph.
Or an actual object will create a line.
For instance a tree, railroad track, or telephone wires.
