Diagonal Lines

Equipment:

Camera: Nikon D300s

Lens 18/135mm


Diagonal lines are rather easier to create in photographs, as they depend mainly on viewpoint. Whereas many scenes contain real horizontals and verticals - streets and buildings, for instance there are few real diagonals; staircases are one of only a few instances. The camera angle and perspective, however, make diagonals common in photographs. To add to your set of examples of horizontal and vertical lines, now take for photographs, which use diagonals strongly.
