Leading Lines And Bold B&W Shots – Don’t Miss Our Latest Update

Share:  

Considering the idea of perfect lines in the wild is a truly bold move! Lines serve to guide the visual reading we all experience in one way or another when “standing” in front of a photograph worthy of your attention. Tersha aimed this week's challenge toward finding lines in nature, which can be horizontal, vertical, and diagonal, but what about organic and implied lines? Let's find out!

What Are Our Members Up To?

Adjust your screens, pour some coffee or tea, and indulge yourselves with these wonderful lines in the wild!

In case you were wondering how organic lines look, they are those naturally found in our surroundings. This type of line behaves naturally, hence the “organic” adjective. Here, we get some organic lines from the asphalt road and a subtle verticality thanks to the Larches.
