Task 3 (12/09/13) The use of lines














Using Lines in photography helps improve the composition of photos. This method is powerful and if used properly it can increase the impact of a picture. Lines firstly create a mood then the eyes will follow the lines to meet the most important point of the photo, this techniques keeps the viewer interested in the photo.

"Composition is an essential part of a good photograph as an art has no meaning without it"
Eric De Maré          



This photo sends your eyes from top too bottom or bottom to top because the lines are vertical. Vertical lines can suggest peace especially if the photo involves trees and old fences.




This is a photo of a telephone reflection in a puddle. The viewers eyes travel back and forth along diagonals.










Horizontal lines indicate lack of change. This is a good example of this. The lines make the eyes travel, from the right then straight down the wall then your eyes come back to notice everything else within the picture.
