06 - Leading lines

The main subject in a photo should be easily accessible to the eye of the viewer. Leading lines, whether strong or subtle, will help the viewer reach the subject without getting lost.

An easier to reach subject can make that subject much stronger without having to dominate the image.

For this week's assignment: compose an image with leading lines that lead to a subject. The subject must be clearly defined and not ambiguous.

Before you shoot:

As before, avoid using the cliché railway scene.

Hint:

Leading lines can be both horizontal and vertical. Leaning the camera against a wall may help introduce leading lines into your composition.
