| Greetings shutter bugs! I have an assignment to photograph any object, person, or scene using converging lines to focus attention on my subject. I am stuck! Trying to come up with ideas! Any suggestions on how you might accomplish this? |

| The most obvious are things such as the lines on the road (make sure you do the photography on a infrequently used road) or maybe railroad tracks. Get a low shooting angle to accentuate the effect. |

Place your subject at the end of these converging lines...(nice pic Eddy) |

You should also check out the Parallel Lines Challenge from March, 2004 -- most of those entries were of converging lines as well. :(

This assignment is not as simple as it seems. Converging lines from roads and railroad tracks require a very large subject at the end, or the lines themselves become the subject or main theme of the photo. In the railroad track that pedro posted, if the subject was at the converging point, it would be so tiny that it would not really be the primary subject of the photo. The same would hold true on a road. I don't know if I have a great example of this in my own portfolio, but this one seems to be fairly strong in the concept of converging lines leading a viewer's eye to a focal point of the photo:

| I think it would be cool to shoot the king on a chess board surrounded using a fisheye lens. The boards lines would lead well into the subject. Just a thought, not sure if it would work. |

Does this qualify?
