Hard to believe that this is already the eighth installment of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! Â Last week’s theme of Flowers certainly found a lot of fans, which means that it was a bit more of a brain twister for me to come up with something that I think might pique just as much interest. Â This led me to depart from Nature’s beauty and head into the direction of geometry for this week’s theme: Lines.
Lines are all around us, to such an extent that our brains have learned to interpret them as visual cues that can both be useful and misleading. Â In photography, we often use lines to lead the eye in a certain direction, as the image is not entered all at once, but rather specific clues are picked up, from which we assemble the overall image. [If there’s interest, I’ll be happy to do a post or two on how the brain processes images and its impact on effective photography].
So, this week, bring some lines to bear in your photography, and I’d love to read how you saw them come together in your image. Â I think that this can provide some interesting imagery!
For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:
- Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
- Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
- Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week
- Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
This topic might be a bit of a brain/visual stretch, but I have every confidence in all of you!!
Technical Details
This image was captured using an iPhone 5S using the standard Camera app; Instagram was used for a bit of sharpening. Â The dichotomy between the right and left sides of the image is due to the angle of the sunlight playing with the iPhone lens.
