Exercise: Diagonals

Diagonal lines are easier to create in a photograph, as they depend mainly on viewpoint.
My first diagonal is one of the effect of perspective.  Here the building diminishes into the distance, giving a prominent angle.

                                                        Shutter 1/125 ........f 5.6..... ISO 400

                                          Shutter 1/60 ...... f 4.5 ........ISO 400


The photo above, the stairs are probably the most common of the diagonals. This is the side view of a double flight of stairs.  To Change the view I could have got very close with the camera and shot up the stairs, along the banister, for a different view.

                                                        Shutter 1/80  ....... f5.6 ...... ISO 400


More Stairs these more elaborate, combing diagonals and curve, painted bright yellow.. quite stunning against the grey background.

                                                      Shutter 1/60 ...... f 4 ...... ISO 400

These diagonal poles are not particularly strong diagonal but the effect is better as there is a row of them. I maybe could have cropped the picture more to make the poles make a diagonal across the frame of the picture.
