Project 26 - real and implied triangles

The next shape under consideration is the triangle. Two sets of triangular compositions were required, one using real triangles and the other making 'implied' triangles.

Real

1. Firstly, a subject that is itself a triangle. I chose the roof of the local church on a sunny morning, using my Tamron 18 - 270 lens @18mm, ISO 400, f/14 and shutter speed of 1/50s.


2. Secondly, a triangle made by perspective, converging towards the top of the frame. For this, I shot the corner of a three-storey building in Cádiz from ground level, thus giving the triangular shape converging towards the top of the frame.


Again using the Tamron 18 - 270 lens @ 18mm, ISO 400, f/6.3 and shutter speed of 1/320s.

3. Thirdly, an inverted triangle, also by perspective, converging towards the bottom of the frame. +++++++++



Implied

1. A still-life arrangement of 5-6 objects to produce a triangle with the apex at the top.


This traditional Moroccan tagine helps provide a strong triangular composition. ISO 100 (with tripod), f/4, shutter speed 0.60 secs using 18 - 55mm lens @21mm.


2. A still-life arrangement as above, but so that the triangle is inverted, with the apex at the bottom.



This simple arrangement of pens and pencils in a glass was taken at ISO 100, f/4, shutter speed of 30 secs using the 18 - 55mm lens @ 35mm.

3. An arrangement of 3 people in a group picture in such a way that either their faces or the lines of their bodies makes a triangle.
ISO 200, shutter speed 1/5s, f/7.1 using Tamron 18 - 270mm lens @ 55mm. Tripod and no flash.
