Exercise 15: Horizontal and Vertical Lines

Having practiced points, we move on to lines.  The brief is to produce four images each (horizontal and vertical) in which the predominant feature is line, or as Freeman says, in which the content is subordinate to the line.

Freeman asks that we mix it up and not take too many photos of the same kind.  The challenge for me was finding subjects that were not buildings.  Living in a city of high rises, these kinds of lines predominate.

Exercise 11: Vertical and Horizontal Frames, Part 2

I never expected to spend so much time on this exercise.  It seemed straightforward enough.  Find a place to photograph to which you could return.  Shoot the subject in vertical, examine the photos, then return and shoot in horizontal.   The purpose here was to examine shooting habits, to see whether shooting vertical might be equally as rewarding, and to discover how frame orientation may influence shooting choices.

An initial post on the exercise with a bit of background on the subject matter that can be found here.

Exercise 11: Vertical and Horizontal Frames

It's been too long since I last posted any photos.  I've been shooting and images have been accumulating while trying to sort out how to use Lightroom, as well as iPad.  You can read about the latter here.

I returned to the UAE in late August and began a new life in Dubai.  Previously I lived in a rural area about 100km north.  As I'm in new surroundings, one of my photographic projects has been to record images of my surroundings for friends and relatives in far away places.  That fit in nicely with the most recent exercise.
