Exercise: Real and implied triangles - REAL.

Produce two sets of triangular compositions in photographs, one using 'real' triangles, the other making 'implied' triangles.

Real.

• Find a subject which is itself triangular (it can be a detail of something larger).

I drove past this house and immediately the triangle caught my eye. The black and white of the house really make the triangle stand out.

• Make a triangle by perspective, converging towards the top of the frame.

For this picture I bent down quite low to emphasise the triangle. The perspective of the fence and the wall reinforce the shape further.

• Make an inverted triangle, also by perspective, converging towards the bottom of the frame. You may need to think about this one.

I found this point quite difficult. I came across this tree which already has quite a triangular shape to it and by bending down and tilting the camera upward slightly I was able to emphasise the inverted triangle using perspective. I am not sure whether perspective has really played a bit enough part in producing the shape here.
