CHAT: Parallel Lines Weekend Comp Feb 23 - 26

[donoreo]

This week's theme is PARALLEL LINES. We all know how lines can work in a photo so now is time to show it.

RULES: The photo must have parallel lines in it. There is one EXCEPTION: no railway tracks. That would be just too easy. So now we must all think and be creative.

Good luck to everyone.

So no converging lines then?

This is a fair question and one that came up when I was chatting to Pea24 about the new theme.

By suggesting railway lines not being allowed I would assume it is acceptable unless of course he meant shooting directly from above and down.

After thinking about it, yes they can converge, as long as it is obvious in the photo that they are parallel lines.

I excluded railway lines because I could see us with a dozen photos of tracks It also gets rid of the obvious choice.

BTW, no limit on processing.

oops I missed the railway lines bit!!!!!!!!!!!! Bang goes my (unusual take on the) idea! lol

You can be quite creative with railway lines you know and I bet not many would have done them!

Our garden backs onto a railway track, so my first idea already a no no !!

interesting idea.... I took a shot last night of some Posts in the sea...they run parralel to each other... but stick up vertically Can that count... or am i being Daft..

They make parallel lines and they are not railway tracks, so they work.
