For this exercise I went no further than my neighborhood, shooting in the streets bordering Sheikh Zayed Road, and afterwards in my kitchen and spare bedroom.
Real Triangles: Perspective
Real Triangles
Implied Triangles
Not sure
I pondered over to which set these three images might belong. Seen from above, or even from another side, the pile of straps or the trees would not appear triangular in shape. Neither do they have intersecting edges. The large tree has three distinct points, but only from this angle.
Implied, or perspective?

Jeffrey - Came here from your post on the the forum. Implied or perspective? I'm not sure it really matters. The key thing is that you are seeing and using triangles as compositional elements in the photographs. It's probably best not to get too hung up and pedantic over what these terms really mean and how you analyse your photographs accordingly. It's a way of opening up your mind to the creative possibilies triangles can bring.
ReplyDeleteNice photos by the way.

Good advice. I'm not overly concerned, but as long as I'm putting in the effort thought I might try and grapple with the ideas and see what Freeman was getting at. Thanks for taking the time to post.
