Thought for the day: Leading Lines
The current contest in the FB group “We Love Half Moon Bay” is on leading lines. There were a number of questions by photographers as to what is a leading line and many of the pictures posted to the contest are not, actually, leading lines.
A leading line is a line of ‘something’ in the photograph that leads the viewer’s eye to the subject. It isn’t a road/trail/path/etc. going through the photograph with little relation to the subject.
These two sets of example pictures may aid you in understanding what are leading lines.
