Should be a fun week but still challenging given we have to Frame some Leading Lines for the #AlphabetTechPhoto sub-challenge.

I've added some info in the Alt about leading lines and thankful that we'll back at this location on Tuesday. A place where leading lines and framing come together.

Leading lines are a powerful compositional technique where natural or man-made lines—such as roads, fences, or rivers—are used to guide the viewer’s eye through a photograph toward a specific subject. By creating depth, structure, and a sense of movement, these lines (often starting in the foreground and moving toward the background) enhance the narrative of the image.

Key Aspects of Using Leading Lines:

Types: Lines can be straight, curved, diagonal, or converging, including paths, shorelines, trees, fences, shadows, and architectural elements.

Direction: They typically originate from the bottom edge of the frame to lead the eye toward the subject.

Purpose: They create a three-dimensional feel in a two-dimensional image, adding depth and focusing attention.

Technique: Using a wide-angle lens can enhance the effect by exaggerating the perspective, especially when shooting from a low or high angle.

Examples and Tips:

Roads/Paths: A winding road leading to a distant mountain.
Architecture: The convergence of walls, pillars, or staircases.
Nature: A riverbank leading to a waterfall or a line of trees.
Composition: Pair with the rule of thirds to place the subject at the end of the line for maximum impact.

B&W shot of two women in silhouette framed by large arched windows - one to the left is holding up her phone and looking to the left to take a picture, the other on the left is looking out a panel of a window with a jumper tied around her waist. They are both reflected in the shiny glass floor.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.
