Well today us two Jims would like to try out DIAGONALS.

http://digital-photography-school.com/using-diagonal-lines-in-photography

Now after reading this site I found that photographic diagonals go from one edge to another so I suspect cropping will be practiced. Diagonals are very interesting because you can use your imagination and your creativity and work with thirds, DOF, composition and ...cropping.

Have fun...

Hi Jims, not sure if this qualifies. Taken in my back garden with one of the trees it is my first attempt on Camera/Shutter Drag. Hopefully i will find better subjects eventually.

Hey that is a neat shot. As for diagonals, well as they say down south, ''T'ain't no big thang'' (Besides Nan isn't up yet)
