Curves

As with Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal lines we have one further type of line to demonstrate, that being Curved.
The next shots are a selection of images which help illustrate this.

f4.0-1/1250-100-40mm

The swirls on this ice cream statue help illustrate the lines as curves.

f4.0-1/1600-100-40mm

Here we see rounded/curved tables.

f5.6-1/400-100-250mm

Curved architecture.

 f5.0-1/250-100-40mm

As the road fades away in the distance the 'S bend helps illustrate the curve effect.

Diagonals

Another form of line within the photograph would be that of 'Diagonals'.
In this exercise I have to illustrate this concept.

f11.0-1/20-3200-40mm

The patterned diagonal lines shown on this floor.

f4.0-1/800-100-40mm

The diagonal lines that help make up the pattern in the back of this chair.

f5.6-1/250-125-179mm

The rotten old post shot from this angle are shown to create a diagonal line.

f11.0-1/125-100-17mm

The projected lines along the roof line, window frames (top and bottom) on all levels and the ground all converge to illustrate diagonal lines.

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.
