Part 2 - Exercise 4

Project - Lines

Exercise - Diagonals

[just finished read over this and realised that while I was pleased with myself for doing more than 4 photographs, the important thing might be to have edited them down to 4.... I'll make sure I do this next time.]

diagonal 1

"diagonal 1" contains a number of varying diagonal lines, perspective is only part of the equation here.

diagonal 2

"diagonal 2" is all about perspective. "diagonal 3" is perspective again, but upward rather than forward.

diagonal 3

diagonal 4

Shadows cause the diagonals in "diagonal 4".

diagonal 5

Another perspective shot.

diagonal 6

"diagonal 6" contains perspective, shadows, tilted camera and the genuine diagonals of the staircase.

diagonal 7

Another perspective shot.

diagonal 8

Another shadow.

The following shots all contain the same staircase (the elevator goes underneath it), but also use perspective (and wideangle lens), to emphasise the angles.

diagonal 9

diagonal 10

diagonal 11

diagonal 12

diagonal 13

In "diagonal 13" the pattern is already diagonal, but the perspective compresses the pattern which then emphasises the diagonals.

The below shots are of diagonal shaped buildings, but again the wideangle and perspective adds to the diagonals.

diagonal 14

diagonal 15
