Last week’s 52 Frames challenge was Lines. At first I thought the goal was just going to be to take a picture of some lines, but then I read the very helpful weekly email and discovered that it was actually more about composing the photo with a “leading line” to guide the viewers eye to something. “How to use leading lines for better compositions” at Digital Photography School and Eric Kim’s “Street Photography Lesson #4: Leading Lines” both offer sound advice, and Mashable’s “16 Perfectly Composed Leading Lines Photos” has, as the title suggests, some strong examples to study.

It was very gray and rainy here all last week, and I only made one attempt to get my Lines picture between Sunday and Wednesday. On Thursday, though, the kids had a couple of classes downtown. It was still cold and gray out, but I used the time to walk about downtown in search of a good photo.

I think it would’ve been stronger if I’d had a model to pose at the end of the photo, but I’m pretty pleased with the result event without a defined focal point.
