This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Leading Lines.
The prompt gave me a bit of a challenge, while I know about leading lines I rarely seem to use them. Going back through my archives it appears I have never used them regularly.
Clouds zigzag, leading the eyes to the rising sun on Colpoy’s Bay, Ontario.
A tree trunk leading the eyes to the autumn colour.
A section of the Lake Huron shoreline leads the eyes towards the sunrise.
A row of trees disappear, leading the eyes towards the sun shining through the fog.

Wow, love that last photo of the trees and the fog!

Thanks Teresa. That was taken in the 1970s when I was either still in school or a photography student.
A long time ago, but still very
Sorry, I wasn’t finished with my comment yet but my fingers pressed accidentally. What I was gonna say was. Wow, that was a long time ago when you were a student but seems very professional to me.
Thank you.
Perhaps not consciously but obviously instinctively Dabed. Loved you sky image especially
Thanks Tina. I suspect that it’s a bit like the rule of thirds, something you learn and then forget about until something in your subconscious taps you on the forehead.
Love the tree trunk drawing your eyes up to that wonderful colour and the tree line in the fog. I need to do more conscious photography this year.
Thanks. I say that I’m going to do studied photography every year but seem to do less each year. Part of the problem is that with the capabilities of modern cameras you don’t need to use a tripod to the degree you had to in the past.
Excellent collection, David. Love the autumn tree, especially.
Thanks Sandy. That was the shot I thought of first, I had to go searching for the others to accompany it.
Ooh. Great shots. Love the sky in that first one.
Thanks John. I thought it would be easy to find a shot with clouds as the leading lines but it took me a while to come up with just that one.
Sweeeeeping sky.
Beautiful, David – loved the tree trunk especially!
Thanks Leya. I think that the tree trunk shot is the most popular from the comments. It was the first shot that came to mind when I read the challenge.
