The triangular rock in this image leads the eye in several
directions. The top point leads upwards towards the girl, who is the primary
focal point. The side points lead the eye downwards and out to the sides,
grounding the image and giving it width.
The perspective in
this shot makes the parallel lines in this phone box appear to converge towards
the top. In hindsight, I feel the image would have benefitted from a more dramatic
convergence gained with a wider angle lens or a steeper perspective.
In this shot, I feel I have gained a much steeper
convergence. Although the same lens was used, this effect is as a result of the
bridge being much longer than the phone box.
When using several items, I achieved the triangular shape by
using a single tall item at the back and getting gradually smaller and wider
towards the front. I also ensured that I had more items at the front to
increase the width.
To achieve a triangle with the apex at the bottom, I used
much shallower items in a line to form the back row. Slightly smaller objects
were placed in front to form the apex and in this image, the light from the
candles helps to enhance the triangular shape.
The faces in this image form a triangle which I feel creates
quite a lot of movement. Although the faces are in a triangle, I feel that the
implied lines form a bit of a zig-zag, going from the photographer’s camera to
the younger man, following his eye line to the other photographer and then from
his eye line and camera to the ground.
