Exercise: diagonals

This photograph illustrates how diagonals will form from parallel lines going off into the distance towards a vashining point. The train, the platform, the benches and the rails all created strong diagonal lines.


This photograph was taken behind the finishing line of the Brighton marathon. I wanted to show the long line of trucks which had been used to transport the belongings of the runners from the start line. The way they recede into the distance is designed to emphasise the sheer scale of the operation.



In this shot the diagonals in the sky create a sense of drama.


This shot was taken just before the finishing line. I've used the road markings and the railings to create diagonals, which link the runner on the left to the strether on the right, both clearly travelling in the same direction.
