Horizontal and Vertical Lines

In this exercise I had to go out and photograph different objects and scenes that were made up of Horizontal and Vertical lines without repeating each type of image.

HORIZONTAL
f4.0-1/250-100-28mm

A flight of steps illustrate horizontal lines perfectly.





f5.6-1/800-100-250mm

Perhaps the most obvious horizontal line ... Horizon.
I choose a bridge in distance to add detail.




f4.0-1/30-640-17mm

Line of shoes laid out horizontally.








f5.0-1/500-100-135mm

The slates on this roof accentuate the horizontal lines.








VERTICAL
f5.0-1/800-100-90mm

The tall reeds here extend nicely from the bottom of the frame upwards, giving the appearance of vertical lines.







f5.6-1/800-100-180mm

From this angle the vertical lines of the steel gantry sign and ladder towering above the nearby trees helps illustrate this point.







f4.0-1/60-1600-40mm

Vertical display case of sunglasses








f5.0-1/500-100-40mm

The trees planted in row helps highlight their standing position and trucks (vertical) while the tracks in the rapeseed field disappear in the distance, giving another set of vertical lines.
