Great start on this Pat!
Part I:
BIF's, the grace of their flight has always fascinated me. Their wings and feathers display many curves and arcs. Here are some gulls shot at the public beach in Rockport, TX.

I had to do some research on this one after it was mentioned a few days ago. I found out it's basically leading lines ... something that draws the eye into and around the photograph.
That was my duhhhhh moment lol. I hadn't heard that expression before a few days ago. See what happens when you take some time off hahhaha. I found these in the archives figured they fit the challenge.


beautiful!!!

pg 2 - great set and good start to another interesting challenge.

Can someone remind me how to 'draw' lines on photos? I wanted to mark the peacock's lines but could not so do!

very nice pat

Laska...always cracks me up to see my name pop up somewhere and WOWZER does betty have some curves...

Sue Jay...what post processing program are you using...? hard to answer your question without knowing.

When I took this pic a few weeks ago, I was actually looking at the repeating soft roundish shapes....never thought about them as arcs ...I cropped the large round light out of the top because it looked a whole lot better thru the cam then on the screen....

Welcome to the "Arc/Curved Line" Challenge
Before I begin, let me say up front, I am NOT an authority on this subject. A post last year got me thinking and I wanted to know more. The best way to learn, they say, is to try and teach something. Hoping some of the more experienced will correct and/or add to what I've found.

The purpose of this challenge: explore the use of arcs, or curves, in composing images. Curved lines can bring drama, an eye pleasing element, and rhythm to an image by leading the eye into/out of the photograph, to a point of interest, or act as a frame. Curves are rhythmic, graceful, dynamic and add energy to a composition. They exist in nature, landscapes still life, architecture, portraits. Check out this excellent article.

http://digital-photography-school.com/composing-with-curves

I also recommend this 3.21 minute YouTube (upbeat music, no spoken words and a really clear explanation of curves and other composition elements.) "5 Photography Composition Tips with 70+ Examples"

http://youtu.be/7XSsV0ZddeU

Not all arcs or curved lines work -or mine didn't anyway and I will post some.

So let's start! Show me your arcs, curved lines, and S curves.

ROADRUNNER--Where is that Church? Is it episcopalian? Never saw that central dais except in movies inside English Cathedrals. I love photos of Old Churches..
BUSHIDO--the top one looks spooky I think I see a vampire lurking there...the colorful lamps make a pretty pattern.
The old celler door reminds me of a castle...all are very good pics.
PHOTOGRL--I must also ask you where those shots were taken?Looks like Santa Fe or even San Antonio...were they taken in Arizona?? Especially love that street with the dirt road...and the curvy pathway...
MIKED--nice bridge arcs...the top one though is really awesome with that lovely walkway...I wish people would say where the photos are from...lol

Lass,

This church is in St-Romuald, a small village across the St. Lawrence River from Québec City. It is a Catholic church, an old one too. We have many of these pulpits in the older churches here in Québec. The church in our town, St-Jean-Chrysostome, was bult in ~ 1848 and there is one there also.
