Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Leading Lines

Wendy

Hello there, friends. Is everyone having a good day?

It’s photo challenge time again, and this week it comes from Tina at Travels and Trifles. Tina has challenged us to post photos with ‘leading lines.’ A compositional element of photography, “leading lines carry our eye through a photograph. They help to tell a story, to place emphasis, and to draw a connection between objects. They create a visual journey from one part of an image to another and can be helpful for creating depth as well.” – Tina

I really had a good time with this one. I don’t know if I got it right in every photo, but it definitely challenged me and allowed me to look at my photos in a different light. I hope you enjoy my offerings for this week!

Possibly my favorite photo that I took on our last trip.  This shot was snapped on the grounds at Rait Castle, located near Inverness, Scotland.

A bright green field with a stone fence leading to a lone tree.

Photo taken (I think) on the B851, a funky, single-track road, near Farr, Scotland.  

A narrow single track road with trees on both sides.

This photo was rather unremarkable to me until I changed it to black and white.  At the end of the road is Kildrummy Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

In Inverness, Scotland.  You can see the Greig Street Bridge in the distance.

And now for something outside of Scotland…our cruise ship as it pulled into port in Puerto Rico.

A white fence, a sandy island road, and palm trees.

And last, Mr. C’s parents, hand-in-hand, walking back to our cruise ship after a day of exploring.  Awww 🙂
