Lines in Photography Part 2


The Line Part 2
The conscious use of lines in a photograph can add depth to a composition.  You can make the most use of lines by keeping your composition simple (see my post on “keeping it simple”).  We commonly think of lines in landscape where the horizon divides the land from the sky or in architecture where the lines are evident in the structure of the buildings.  However, lines can also be seen and used in almost any subject we photograph by using them to direct the eye to the main subject of the image.  Remember lines are not just straight.  They can be curves or combinations of straight and curved (see bowl and spoon below).  Sometimes the line is the subject of the photograph. 

Cameras used Nikon with 12mm Tokina wide angle lens and ProOptic 8mm fisheye lens,  and Sony Nex7 camera with 18-35mm lens
