Now we\u2019ll to take a closer at the specific ways angles and edges function in a photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technique of managing lines is particularly relevant with motifs from the areas of architecture, technology, and mobility. These motifs show man-made structures and systems. They\u2019re distinctive \u2013 in contrast to, say, portrait or landscape photography \u2013 because of the frequent presence of mathematically precisely mapped, straight lines. According to the angle at which these corners and edges traverse the image and where they\u2019re placed within its internal structure, they have a more or less powerful dynamic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Diagonals<\/strong><\/em> are edges that, depending on their direction, have a positive and emergent or a falling and downwardly pitched effect. An oblique line like this usually awakens an impression of agitation and momentum. This effect is multiplied when such lines are combined with a moving subject, such as a running athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/imageView\/DIGF02411\/young-man-running-in-a-parking-garage\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DIGF02411-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DIGF02411-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DIGF02411-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>\u00a9 DANIEL INGOLD\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In many photos of buildings taken from a worm\u2019s eye view, we encounter diagonal edges in the form of <em><strong>plunging lines<\/strong><\/em>, which augment the feeling of overwhelming size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/imageView\/SEGF000394\/usa-boston-view-to-skyscrapers-from-below\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEGF000394-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEGF000394-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEGF000394-1-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>\u00a9 SEBASTIAN GAUERT\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <em><strong>horizontal edges<\/strong><\/em> have a rather static effect and can easily appear boring. This is why they\u2019re often combined with more horizontal lines or the photo is enlivened with an object of irregular lines or with a stormy sky. In a photograph of architecture, speeding clouds are a favorite means of opening up and invigorating austere forms, since here the sky\u2019s shapes set up an interesting contrast between the manmade structure and the surrounding, untamed nature. This method of composing an image can be seen in countless variation, each of which has its own appeal: Clouds reflecting in the glass facade of a skyscraper;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/imageView\/SEG000350\/usa-new-york-manhattan-world-trade-center\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEG000350-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEG000350-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEG000350-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEG000350-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEG000350-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>\u00a9 SEBASTIAN GAUERT\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>fluffy white cumulus sailing by on a breeze, loosening a severely geometrical image structure;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/imageView\/CST001135\/italy-milan-facades-of-a-backyard-seen-from-below\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/CST001135-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/CST001135-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/CST001135-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>\u00a9 CARMEN STEINER\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>or the tattered shapes, torn by the wind, that blow by a hulking temple of finance and its imposing, almost frightening profile with the message that nothing lasts forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/imageView\/SEGF000384\/usa-new-york-manhattan-world-trade-center\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEGF000384-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEGF000384-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/SEGF000384-1-300x184.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>\u00a9 SEBASTIAN GAUERT\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who can\u2019t quite tell heads from tails, <em><strong>perpendicular lines<\/strong><\/em> in an image\u2019s structure will set them right, since these edges produce an impression of stability, vitality, and energetic forward momentum. This image is an interesting example, combining a moment of stability, expressed by the centrally located pillar, with a moment of rapid movement, here the moving train that extends to the right and left. Diagonal lines that come at the viewer from behind the line of a hidden vanishing point produce additional tension by placing an invisible question mark for the viewer at the image\u2019s center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/imageView\/NKF000143\/germany-berlin-subway-station-paracelsiusbad-with-moving-underground-train\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/NKF000143-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/NKF000143-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/NKF000143-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>\u00a9 STEFAN KUNERT\/Westend61<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Where there are edges there are usually corners and it\u2019s at that spot where lines change direction or meet in a particular <em><strong>angle<\/strong><\/em>.
