Learning Goal
- Students will be able to use composition to take photos with leading lines
Yet another composition technique, leading lines can be used to draw your viewer into the photo. Leading lines naturally draw your eyes into a photo, and this is especially powerful when the lines lead to the image's main subject. Move your feet to make lines point at your main subject. Rember to consider past lessons, like the rule of thirds or different angles.
We'll look at the links below to learn how to master this technique:
