Lines, Light, and Shadows

What makes a photograph interesting? A beautiful subject(s)? While this is true, what really brings your attention to them?”

I am still in the beginning stages of learning what it takes to deliver an interesting photograph, but from my studies, professionals, and own experience, it’s all about the lines (shapes, circles etc.,), light, and shadows, and how they draw your eyes to your subject(s).

I am lucky enough to work near the Merrimack River and often during lunch I try to take a stroll along the river walk. During these walks, I try to practice what I am learning and try into incorporate the various shapes and shadows into the photograph with an outcome of making it just a bit more interesting. These next two shots are from one of last year’s stroll along the river walk, Shadows and Lines.
