Synopsis: []

When attempting to use converging lines with photography, there are many aspects that go into creating a photograph that uses converging lines as a technique. The technique of converging lines leads a viewer's eyes to the point in which you want them to go, such as photographing train tracks and having them lead to a certain point in the piece based on your point of view. There are four basic steps that one should take to achieve their best converging lines photograph. Step one is to experiment with positioning. Now this may seem to be easy, but positioning yourself and your camera correctly to capture what you desire is one of the most important things in photography itself. Step two is to use a wide angle lens. This will allow you to capture more of the area in which you are shooting, creating a more dramatic scene that looks wider than it actually is. Step three is positioning the "convergence". This is a strategy in which you can draw the viewer's eyes to the point in which all of the lines come together. And finally, step four is adding interest at the point of your convergence. This is completely optional, but sometimes adding a point of interest such as a human, an animal, or an inanimate object will dramatize the point of convergence. All of these steps will help you to achieve your desired converging lines photograph.
