Exercise Implied lines

For the first part of this exercise I was required to draw implied lines on the two pictures in the course literature. The first picture has an implied line in the markings on the ground lest by the bull and the implication is that the bull will continue on the same line. The second picture has two implies lines. The first is the man's eye line and the second is that of the horses. The most powerful line is that of the first horse as it dominates the frame.

I have now selected three photographs of my own that have implied lines:
The first photo is of my daughter staring onto the distance, the implies line is from her eyes into an undefined point in the distance.



The second photo is of a sign that points in several directions, it is not the best example of an implied line as the sign and the path together would make a better example. The strongest line is the part of the sign that points into the gated field.

The third example is of my youngest son trudging through a snow filled field, the implied line is the line of his walking and the direction of his eyes into the ground and the task ahead.






For my examples I firstly tried to capture the eye line and the arm/aim line of my son throwing a snowball at his friend. You can just about see the eye line.




For the picture of the extension of lines or lines that point I have used the tracks in the snow that lead to the car in front of the house. On reflection the lines in the photograph are not as powerful as I saw them when I was constructing the photograph.
