Photography ( leading lines and focal points)

Photo 1 was a taken down a narrow area between 2 buildings. The focus points is the 2 buildings which the eye attracts. The leading lines are also around either side of the buildings. 

             

Photo 2 was taken on a field area showing a contrast between nature and man made structures. The field creates negative space while the pylon in the background forms the focal point. The leading lines are centred around the pylon.

 Photo 3 was taken down a narrow entrance way with a building on one side, natural plant life on the other side and a man made path way in the middle. The focus point is the stairs in the middle. The leading lines are placed where the building and the bushes are.

Photo 4 was taken at the bottom of the stair way with a camera placed on the bottom step. The focus point is the top step while the leading lines are also by the top.

 Photo 5 was taken at the top of the stairs overlooking the area as a whole. The focal point is the tables and the building in the background while the leading lines are where the trees are and the tables.

finally photo 6 was taken on a balcony exposing the background. The focus point is the 2 trees with the field acting as negative space. leading lines are centred around the 2 trees.

Leading lines: Creates a path for the eye to follow. Can draw you to a focal point this is the part of an image that your want to draw attention to. Draws you into the picture and makes the image 3D.

Focal points: A focal point is the most important part of an image. On a grid the focal points are essentially lines in on both sides.

The rule of third is used to focus the focal points of a photo. This is done by creating a grid in the form of a noughts and crosses style design. The main focal points are highlighted through the use of lines in the grid dividing and separating the focal points from the rest of the photo. The grid devices the photo in 3 lines both horizontal and vertical. The rule of thirds is a compositional technique and is structured in this way. The image symbolises hard work and team work showing that you can achieve anything together when you put your mind to it. The rule of third technique adds focus to individual points of the image for example the art work is put into focus to showcase the handwork that has been put into it.
