Horizontal and vertical lines
This is a small project just to examine lines in photographs
The first four pictures show vertical lines, and although some horizontal lines can be seen in the pictures, it is the vertical lines that are most dominant
This one, which is a view of roof tiles, shows the dominance of the vertical lines, mainly because they are darker than the horizontal ones.
And here, there are some converging diagonals, but the verticals show out more.
The next four show horizontal lines.
The first one obviously has vertical lines from the stones supporting the horizontals, but, aided by the horizon in the distance, I think the horizontals stand out much more.
Again here, the posts are vertical, but the tops of them form a horizontal line, again aided by the line formed by the edge of the water meeting the land.
As with this one, where the horizontal is formed by the level plain meeting the mountains.
Here, there are some pleasing curves in the picture, but I took this to show the horizontal steps of the staircase.
