Day 5

Today I took a little walk downtown. I had to go to the bank and on my way I really noticed how nice some of the buildings are starting to look. Unfortunately, the city I live in is somewhat known for our downtown. The movie Silent Hill was filmed here and, lets just say they had to spruce it up some to make it look like a ghost town. That's our downtown.
Laurier university is greatly taking over most of the buildings which is wonderful for our town. I have 2 photos today of the same building.
My purpose in taking these 2 were not only because I love the look of the new building, but I want to quickly explain another photo technique.
This technique is called "leading lines" I'm sure there are many many different terms for it but I like this one the best.
What leading lines does is uses a natur occurring directionality of something to draw you in. For example, the first photo is of the corner of the building. You want to look at the doors but your eye is drawn through the picture due to the angle of the sidewalk and tree on the left. The sidewalk is "leading" you through the rest of the image to rest on the tree.
Until tomorrow, which is about 5 minutes away (just made it!) have a good one :)

Here are my photos for today! Enjoy!
