Week 2

Photo 5 - Wooden Gate

I realize this isn't a very creative subject for this week's project, i.e., a wooden gate, but it is pretty and textural and linear!

Photo 6 - Diagonal Branch

The whole branch is a diagonal line here.

Photo 7 - Kitty Stairs

This is a diagonal-ish line of cats or maybe a cat staircase. Sort of whimsical... :)

Photo 8 - Bricks

i liked the pattern of lines of mortar within the texture of the bricks.

Photo 9 - Yellow Leaf in Spring

This shot doesn't really represent the "lines" subject we are studying this week, but I liked the leaf and the shot so I included it. I guess you could say there are lines in the leaf, the stem, and in the green foliage too... But really I just liked the pretty leaf on the green background! :)

Photo 10 - Black and White Hose

i liked this subject because the way the hose was hanging from the corner sort of created diagonal lines. I actually initially started to shoot it strait on and it was just very flat and boring. When I went to the side I got not only a more interesting take on the hose, but the left side of the fence and vertical lines/slats and the corner with the weeds also.

Photo #1a - Desert Windmill revised

I took two shots of this windmill; one in landscape (Photo #1a) that I barely even glanced at because I really thought the sky should equal the foreground -- at first, before i learned a little something. After reading the comments - especially Frank's about cropping, I went back to the landscape one and I think it is the better shot. :)
