These photographs demonstrate diagonals. The first photograph of the flower was taken a few years ago but I found it in my collection. I think it clearly demonstrates the dynamism of using diagonals and the strong sense of direction created compared to using horizontal and vertical lines in an image. The photograph of the row of shop illustrates how diagonals used in an image can produce a vanishing point adding depth and distance to the image by leading the viewer's eye through a photograph. I realise from this exercise as mentioned there are few true diagonals but it is easy to create them from a particular viewpoint.
