Curves

Equipment:

Camera: Nikon D300s

Lens 18/135mm



Curves, like diagonals, have a sense of movement and direction, and in some ways can be considered a kind of diagonal line. Because the pull the eye, they are useful in planned composition. Curves have associations of smoothness, grace and elegance, and so add these feelings to an image. For this exercise look for and take four photographs using curves to emphasise movement and direction
