When I started this challenge I thought it will be good to brush up on art theory from school, good for my art and my photography; and it has, it has got me thinking. This week’s challenge on Geometry in Photography has me scratching my head. Have I never really noticed these shapes before? It was actually a little more difficult than I first thought, I hope I did it correctly………I possibly missed some geometric shapes, in some of the images, as I was trying to find less obvious ones.
I tried not to go for cush obvious shapes, windows and doors in buildings etc. They are a bit rough perhaps, but you get the idea. I have found squares and rectangles and triangles, just realised there are no circles……..perhaps I should have added some to the fruit? Does this have some hidden meaning that the shapes I found are not round or does round happen less often? Or am I not looking hard enough?

Looking at the peacock like a triangle is a nice one… I never expected the peacock to be geometrically similar to a triangle in such a pose.

I love how you noted the shapes. I agree that our minds see shapes instinctively when we compose a shot.

I do like the railway photo – it disappears into the horizon.

Julz, you did a marvelous job of finding the unobvious, but obvious once pointed out shapes. Spectacular entry. 😀

thanks Cee……am I missing something by not finding many circles? or is it just me?

You could have used the circle or eclipse for the pear, the dogs eyes and nose are three circles within your triangle. To see more natural circles look at nature, flowers, trees, rocks, etc. I purposely didn’t add flowers to my post, because they are pretty obvious.
