P52-5-16 Shapes — Triangles
Posted By: Tsukiouji, 03-31-2013, 03:13 PM

For a few next weeks lets dig into basic shapes. And for the start — triangles. Please, capture it either explicit or implied.

How to use Triangles to Improve Your Composition
Power of the Triangle


(Photos for the Week #16 competition are to be taken between Apr 1, 2013 and Apr 7, 2013.)

Rules
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-5 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by non Pentax cameras are allowed.
Cameras may be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot, Medium Format, et cetera.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is
active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from thread start date to listed closing date is acceptable.

A vague pairing of triangles, but I'm certain that one of you all can produce better

Kain, that is a very creative photo.

Here is mine... best I could come up with. Some triangles a given, other triangular suggestions stretching it a bit...

Saw this yesterday, just as I was looking for suitable subjects. Concrete wall designs. The dried flower was a bonus.

Took this earlier today, thought it would fit the theme. A couple of little triangles I found in a spider's web

When it looks like this outside on April 7, this is the best I can do for a triangle under the circumstances.

Thanks for the challenge. Of all the forms, I'm probably most neglectful of triangles.

Hi all! With many apologies for my lateness, let me chime in. I think my favorite triangle work here is Maria27's work combining the triangle of the spiderweb, and the perspective and bokeh surrounding it. In pure composition, Tsukiōji's model with the arms and triangles is great, but I think the spiderweb really shines out.

Ramseybuckeye's owl, I think would be great as a photo of the week, but once again, the webs have the most depths I think.

Congratulations, Maria27.

I must admit, I'm not as much a fan of the triangles 'overlaying' an image, or the 'implied' triangles, but I could see them working too in the right context. Thanks everyone

Wow, thank you Kain!
I'm really looking forward to seeing some great curves in the next challenge.
