Project 2: Leading Lines
Prompt: Consider leading lines and the Rule of Thirds as compositional techniques within your 35mm film photography
Choose a subject then look around for lines in the scene that you can use to direct the viewer's attention to the subject.
Find an interesting line, then determine what the subject of your photograph is.
Remember that lines can be man-made or natural. For instance, the yellow line down the middle of the road or a tree branch. Even a person's arm can be a leading line.
Find the right angle
Experiment with different angles and perspectives to find the best way to incorporate the leading lines into your composition.Create depth
Use converging lines to create a sense of depth within the image, leading the viewer's eye towards the horizon or vanishing point.Experiment with different types of lines
Horizontal lines can create a sense of calm and stability, while diagonal lines can create a sense of movement and energy.Note: You can take these photos anywhere, but try not to take them on campus. If you do take photos on campus, please make sure the location is not easily recognizable.
