Challenge: Lines



Many thanks to boyhidingintree for his great “Loss” challenge. I enjoyed all the “Loss” entries. Thanks, Charlie!

Now let’s turn our attention to lines. Whether we are shooting “Man Made” objects or “Nature Made” objects, there are lines present in virtually all photographs. I will show you a few examples and hope you will show us more.

Vertical lines
Grass
Buildings This is also a good example of repeating and converging lines.  

Horizontal lines (Keep them horizontal.)
Horizon and clouds
Bench

Intersecting lines
Evergreen The needles are also an example of repeating lines.
Bridge detail

Repeating lines
Young grape leaf This is also an example of curved lines.
Brick walkway

Curved lines
Seed head
Wall leading to stage

Diagonal lines
Cedar Creek
Lake Michigan Fishing Boat

Converging lines
Bike and Foot path

I hope these simple examples will get your creative juices flowing. I look forward to your examples.
