Team-Up Thursday - Lines

Jen is out of town this week. She an awesome partner though, she picked a theme and e-mailed me a photo before she left. How great is that! I did not look at hers until I took mine, I wanted to be surprised.
When we picked the theme I immediately thought of the line on the roads, I look at them everyday. The question I had was how would I get that without getting run over. Most roads I travel are heavy with traffic. I took the long way back to work during lunch and jumped out the car to snap my shot. I got a lot of funny looks and slowing down. I bet they were wondering what I was photographing.

The DOF in Jen's photo is great, I like how even though the end of the fence post is blurry your eye is still drawn there. I also like how the focal point is down and to the left. It's just a interesting shot all around.

  2. Wow, both of your lines seems to be leading us to the same spot. Way cool. Way to sacrifice your life for your art. :) Great job, team.

  3. I LOVE both of these photos - they're both fabulous in drawing your eye to see what's ahead. Love the contrast of DOF in the fence and the road shooting off into infinity!!!! Nicely done.

  4. Both these photos make me wonder what is beyond what the images shows. What story is inside that post? Where does that road come from and go?
    Very neat subject.

  10. Great lines! I love the angle in your shot and the shadows casting themselves across the lines in the road. People often look at photographers strange. ;) Great duo and that was awesome of Jen to send on in advance too.
