Exercise 1.3 (1) Line<\/strong>
\nTake a number of shots using lines to create a sense of depth. Shooting with a wide-
\nangle lens (zooming out) strengthens a diagonal line by giving it more length within
\nthe frame. The effect is dramatically accentuated if you choose a viewpoint close to
\nthe line.<\/p>\n

\"ExerciseExercise 1.3 (2) Line<\/strong>
\nTake a number of shots using lines to flatten the pictorial space. To avoid the effects
\nof perspective, the sensor\/film plane should be parallel to the subject and you may
\nlike to try a high viewpoint (i.e. looking down). Modern architecture offers strong
\nlines and dynamic diagonals, and zooming in can help to create simpler, more
\nabstract compositions.<\/p>\n

\"ExerciseReview your shots from both parts of Exercise 1.3. How do the different lines relate
\nto the frame? There\u2019s an important difference from the point exercises: a line can
\nleave the frame. For perpendicular lines this doesn\u2019t seem to disrupt the composition
\ntoo much, but for perspective lines the eye travels quickly along the diagonal and
\nstraight out of the picture. It feels uncomfortable because the eye seems to have no
\nway back into the picture except the point that it started from. So for photographs
\ncontaining strong perspective lines or \u2018leading lines\u2019, it\u2019s important that they lead
\nsomewhere within the frame.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exercise Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is definitely a different feel to both sets of photographs. In exercise 1.3 (1), I tried placing the leading lines in different parts of the frame and I noticed that in most of them, I have left space around the line which emphasizes it, whereas, in exercise 1.3 (2) many the lines are terminated at the edges of the photograph.\u00a0 The flat views are great for detail shots or strong regular shapes.<\/p>\n

The hypothesis above states that ”\u00a0So for photographs\u00a0<\/em>containing strong perspective lines or \u2018leading lines\u2019, it\u2019s important that they lead\u00a0<\/em>somewhere within the frame”<\/em><\/p>\n

To test this I took a photo where there appeared to be a definite ‘thing’ at the end of the ‘lead line’ namely two traffic cones.\u00a0 In the second photograph I took them out of the picture, to see if it did indeed affect the viewers comfort.\u00a0 Personally, I didn’t think it made much difference, but this may be because the line extends almost to the other side of the frame anyway.<\/p>\n

\"_DJF1817\"\"_DJF1817a\"<\/p>\n

Although the photo below was taken with flat lines in mind, those being the different horizons between land, sea and sky, the addition of the people and boat, give it perspective which create an invisible line.\u00a0 So for the image to have worked as a flat photo, I would have to taken it without either of those elements in it.<\/p>\n

Here the people and ship have been removed to show how the flat image would look.<\/p>\n
