Exercise: real & implied triangle (real)

Real triangle: Walkng in Staunton Harold Estate I saw the architechture of the church against the blue sky and took the image of the corner of the tower with an upward tilt of the camera using the bottom of the frame as the bottom edge of the triangle.

Exercise: real & implied triangle (implied)

This is my cat Travis, his eyes and nose create this implied triangle with a dowward apex. I took this image outdoors, cropped it in photoshop elements, but it wasn't quite symetrical, so I used Lightroom to turn the image ever so slightly to ensure it was as level as possible.

I was looking for a triangle with the apex at the bottom of the frame. After stepping over this stile during a walk I felt it might suit. For this type of triangle my notes tell me to look point the camera down to enhance the trianlge shape but am not tall enough! I think it works though, its almost a combination of a real and implied triangle by not having a 'real' link between the bottom of the triangle at the top of the frame.

Excercise: real & implied triangles (implied)

Implied triangle - this triangle converges towards the top of the frame, the suggestion of Sophie about to pour the tea into the cup gives the triangle more movement with the anticipation of action

Project: shapes

When looking around for suitable images, it wasn't until I started looking for shapes that I realised that triangles are extremly common and actually occur more frequently than any other shape. Triangles always have at least two diagonals, and therefore tend to create a sensation of activity and dynamism.
