Diagonals


Standing alone, this house would have made quite a static photograph, being mainly horizontal in shape. The fence, as well as giving some foreground interest, creates movement and tension with its diagonal lines.

Although this road would look like a straight line from above, perspective has made it look like a triangle, converging to a point in the distance.

Perspective is also used to create a triangular effect with this branch. In this case, the triangle points towards the subject.

Had I taken this photo straight on, the vertical and horizontal lines of the children would have created a much more static shot. The angle chosen produces diagonal lines instead creating more movement to suit the fun nature of the image.
