Project 20; Horizontal & Vertical lines

Vertical Lines;

Lots of verticals here.

A strong vertical line here leads the eye in again, I think it is the dominant feature of the shot.

A leading line? Drawing the eye into the photo I think. There is also a triangle or perhaps two formed by the lines in the building and the sides of the frame.

Here a series of obvious vertical lines lead the eyes upwards in the frame, there is also an implied horizontal line across the tops of the trees.

Horizontal lines;

A church doorway, showing horizontal and verticals. I notice that the horizontal lines are a little off level, which throws the eye completely, it is sometimes very difficult to frame a horizontal line level. I suppose this skewing can be used to affect, to add tension maybe?

The horizon line. A major feature of all landscape photography. Here it forms two rectangles. Its position has a great affect on a picture.

Here we have the horizontal lines of the stairs. These would act as a block in the picture for the viewer but are overcome by the strong diagonal lines which lead the eye past them. Here they create a rhythm and lead to the vertical lines at the top.

Horizontal lines caused by the shadows of the trees.
