This September 2008 theme is going to be an exercise in composition – the topic is “Leading Lines”.
A leading line, such as a road, path, or stream draws the viewer’s eye into or through the photograph. An example is posted below.
Let’s see how creative we can get.
As always, please email us with any suggestions for new topics.

Here is a shot of a quiet, leaf-covered trail I took many years ago in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

This is one I posted on E,S,&S awhile back. From Arches.

This is near Stanley, NM. They don't sell gas anymore. This is an example of the toning/tinting method I use. It's not a b & w, but it's not a color picture.

I hope this one works

Quite a variety of images here (isn't that a wheatfield, Bill?).

Gee...I wonder where this one might be from??
Nice work so far - let's see more!

John, yes it's wheat, in the UK we generically call them cornfields, cos we don't have a lot of corn and we have a complicated language. There is a joke in there that I am unprepared to risk! Let's just say that corn is from the Americas! Tip toe out of the box.......

Kalin- I really like the Aspen Lane shot. Makes me crave cool weather and the sound of elk buggling.
Posted by Gabi Lach on September 11, 2008 at 10:03 PM
More aspens. Alpine Loop, Utah.

Wow. Really great stuff here so far.

What Les said! A real feast for the eyes.
This was taken recently at a relatively unknown area in NE Arizona.

What a great variety of images, and such high quality to follow!. Since Fall is right around the corner, and the ones posted here are making us wish it was here now; here is a Fall sunrise from the Eastside (Blue Ridge Mountains).
