Photos 5: Line and Shape


I love the lines in this photo, specifically the diagonal ones from the railing.  I also really like how they crash into the vertical lines created by the building.  The small, circular sun shining through the trees adds a nice touch to the photo, accenting the green color of the leaves.  I think I would have preferred this photo without the people in the background, but they do add some kind of character.



This photo really stands out to me because I took it in the middle of a sunny day and then changed it to black and white.  I think it creates a really interesting image.  I took this one because I really liked all the vertical lines created by all the different lamp posts and trees.  They can be seen throughout the parking lot.  For me, it was a reminder of how BYU (and the church) try to point us towards heaven.  I wish I could have found a location like this without the cars.  



I really love the shapes of the bike racks and their shadows here.  The shadows all provide some diagonal lines whereas the shapes are curvy and fun.  I don't think this photo has a very deep meaning as much as it is just kind of interesting to look at.  There are so many weird shapes around us that we do not notice very often.

  1. You've got some fantastic lines in your first photo that contrast magnificently with the softer, more organic shapes of the tree and mountains. I really like that there is a variety of vertical and horizontal lines here and that you've cheated the horizontal lines off to camera right, creating a nice sense of depth. Photo 2 is interesting because the lovely black and white color choice makes it easier to pick out the shapes. You've got nice lines from the lamp posts and a wide variety of shapes like the circular lights and triangular mountains. Photo 3 might be my favorite. I love how monochrome it feels, plus the soft curving lines of the bike racks are made even softer in the shadows. I like that it feels pretty deep because of the size differentiation, but it doesn't feel like a forced perspective.
