Triangles - real and implied

If theory is to be believed, triangles can be found photographically in many places. While this does seem to be the case, finding real triangles locally for this exercise which provide interesting images was quite a challenge.

Real triangles

P196: f11 @ 1/500 49mm ISO 200

P197: f13 @ 1/250  18mm ISO 200

A wide angled lens was used with the block of flats converging vertical lines creating the  triangle.

P198: f10 @1/2sec 30mm ISO 800 cropped

P198 is an inverted triangle by taking the image from above looking down at the three subjects. Cropping the image slightly produced a tighter angle.

Implied triangles

P199: f8@ 1/25 34mm ISO 100 cropped

P200: f5/6 @ 1/50 22mm ISO 200

P200 is a still life arranged to produce an inverted triangle.

P201: f2/8 @ 1/1250 @ 4mm ISO 100

Looking for or using shapes in capturing images offers a more a constructive approach to building the design of the composition. They impose a helpful structure, add a vibrancy and dynamic interpretation which removes clutter from the viewer's eye.. In carrying out these exercises I've been able to practise and develop a different way of 'seeing'. In many cases a triangular structure in particular, draws the eye in...particularly useful in trying to capture people in action in an arresting or dynamic way. Learning to consider altering the viewpoint to provide a better more interesting perspective has been very useful.
