Lines are a very important element of design. Without them, there would be no shapes and contours. When I’m out and about with a camera, lines are one of the things I look for.
During the month of August, the city Edinburgh is absolutely replete with photo opportunities (even more than usual), thanks to the Festival.
Walking about on Princes Street, I could not fail to notice the line festival (pun intended) that you see in the above picture. And there were some kids jumping up and down to give a sense of scale to the photograph. I was very lucky that one of the children was wearing a pink top, as it offered some good colour contrast with the blue background. The key was to frame the girl with a maximum amount of negative space around her to clearly separate her from the background. It took a lot of tries, but I’m quite happy with this photograph.
