9 Composition: Leading Lines

Leading lines are compositional tools within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image. Anything with a definite line can be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye. If can pair leading lines with a subject that is placed according to the rule of thirds your image should be very strong.


  1. Take 10-15 images using the lines to emphasize or to point to the main subject, 
  2. Then download the images, 
  3. Select your top 2 photos and save them to the share folder.
  4. Post your best image to your blog, 
  5. Title your post using the emphasis technique- Leading Lines.
  6. Write out a reflection: identify the subject and explain how the technique emphasizes it.
  7. Collect all of your images (up to 40 max) in a contact sheet,
  8. Save your contact sheet as a jpg and post to your blog.
