Has anyone got any examples from previous challenge to help me better understand the topic?
 10/18/2004 06:17:20 AM · #2
Classic example:

10/18/2004 06:46:52 AM · #4
So how are those implied and not actually there? They just look like actual lines to me... I don't understaaaaand :(
 10/18/2004 06:51:02 AM · #5
For implied lines, I read broken lines.
 10/18/2004 07:01:21 AM · #6
Maybe pix like these (only better), where the "lines" aren't straight or anything to dwell on, but make the composition what it is?

I`m with you on this. I can see lines in all these examples.
I`m gonna treat it like a leading lines/vanishing point challenge.
Lets face i can`t do any worst the my last brown ribbon entry :)

To me, the examples posted by jonr and wkimen are the only ones that show implied, rather than actual, lines.

I agree with Terry, that's how I see it as well.
 10/18/2004 07:56:30 AM · #11
Can someone explain how my example doesn't fit with the examples by jonr and wkimen? Otherwise I too am confused.

I can see that elements of jonr's tree shot would fit the challenge (the base of all the trunks visually produce a line though there is in fact not one there). However, wkmens would not fit, as there are very obvious solid lines in the sweetcorn, leading to the vanishing point on the horizon in the beach shot and the edges of the path on the path shot. i did a bit of brief research on this, and it would appear something like stone henge is a prime example. on their own they're chunks of rock, but together thay make a dis-joined type circle. i'm just wondering by that logic, the yellow guys in this might fit:

the hanging steel in your pic actually creates lines pointing to the center of the frame ... they aren't continuous lines, but they are actual straight lines

Bob, I think the difference is that there's a blue print for a lot of the lines in your image. Someone drew these lines and structure was designed to have those lines. They exist for real. They don't just appear to be lines, but they actually are.

I would say this same explanation applies to jonr's image as well since a city planner probably drew up a landscape design for the trees along the pathway.

I envision many 'does not meet challenge' comments on this challenge.

One of your own :

10/18/2004 09:36:30 AM · #17
I think this might be another example.


10/18/2004 10:17:23 AM · #18
I think the defining characteristic of BobsterLobster's shot is patterns or geometric shapes rather than lines. But I'm confused now after reading this thread about the difference between implied and actual. What about railroad tracks?
 10/18/2004 10:19:16 AM · #19
I would say railroad tracks are actual rather than implied lines but that's only one opinion.

Two opinions, Implied means not deliberate or actual lines.If you see something that forms a line or lines naturally, like the tree suggestion that is implied.
 10/18/2004 10:27:42 AM · #21
three opnions, but where does one draw the line?
 10/18/2004 10:48:32 AM · #22
So in this photo -- the path would be an actual line but the trees growing naturally along the path are implied lines?



HELP!!!!
 10/18/2004 10:56:46 AM · #23
I think that you may have crossed the line with that one.

To me, the trees are in line, but the line is short. I think that for a challenge like this, we really need to find some formation that shows a line clearly. So in this example, if there were more trees, the line would probably be clearer to the reader.

Please explain. Did I cross the implied line or the actual line? ;-)
