The 365 Project: Week Twelve

This week on Picaboo, the challenge and theme was about leading lines.  Leading lines use, well, lines to draw the viewer's attention to the subject and/or tell a story.  They're easy to use and find: a brick wall, a fence, stairs, boardwalk, beach, sunset, etc.  Basically anything with a line that "points" to your intended subject.  My photo above of Kaylie playing along the water's edge made it into Picaboo's blog :)

I have to say I'm really happy I decided to do this project.  It has challenged me and made into a much better photographer!  I've learned about settings I never knew existed on my Canon as well!  For this week, it was a little challenging to think in the terms of lines.  I tend to consider a potential photo as a whole, instead of breaking it up a into separate parts to create a composition.  Once I got a hang of it though, it was easy to find creative uses of lines!  It was also fun using my daughter as a subject, she sure loves her photo taken!
