PCA 181 – Leading Lines
Sunday October 30 - Sunday, November 13, 2011
Image tag: pca181
A strong element of photographic composition is the use of leading lines. Leading lines are used to draw the viewer’s eye through a photograph and often to a defined subject. The lines can be formed by many features in a scene. They can be more on the literal side like power lines or railings, or perhaps a bit less obvious like a series of objects. Your goal for this assigment is to compose an image featuring leading lines.

I had to go back to a sequence from Haloween for this one. I saw this couple on the station in Salem after a day of hanging out with other dressed up people. Everyone was pretty tired. The bright colors of their outfits are strong pulls in the composition.... but there are two strong lines - from the right, the railing and from the poster the line on the edge of the writing.
I can't say that I specifically moved to get these lines to play along, but it certainly made the picture jump out from the piles of images that I captured that day.
Jordan Craters is a volcanic field, covering 27 square miles with olivine basalt. This otherworldly scene is the result of lava flow that occurred in two main phases, both less than 30,000 years ago. This ancient lava field features craters, lava tubes and pahoehoe (a Hawaiian term meaning “ropy,” describing the smooth, billowy lava flows), showing just how mobile a lava flow can be. Drive right up to Coffee Pot Crater, a well-preserved, steep-sided crater that covers two-thirds of a square mile. Hike through or take photos of this alien-like terrain and explore the area’s beautiful and geologically violent past.
• The area is full of rugged terrain, footing is precarious.
• Lack of trails, sharp lava formations and open pits can be dangerous for the most experienced hiker.
• The lava fields can reach temperatures of more than 120 degrees during the summer. Dehydration is a very real and very dangerous possibility. Bring enough water to remain hydrated.
• Roads become nearly impassable when wet.
• Winter weather can make access difficult.
• High-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended.
Jordan Craters is located in the southeast corner of Oregon in Malheur County. From Highway 95, 8 miles north of Jordan Valley, turn west at the Jordan Craters sign onto Cow Creek Road. Follow BLM Jordan Craters access signs for 25 miles to the site.
Coffee Pot Crater: the only crater on site to offer vehicle access. This area also features roughly aligned spatter cones—blocks of lava that have welded together, forming cones.

C'est l'ensemble de menhirs le plus représentatif du site de Carnac : 1165 mètres de long sur 100 mètres de large pour 1099 menhirs répartis sur 11 files. Les plus hautes pierres qui les composent atteignent 4 mètres. Les alignements ont été érigés au Néolithique par des communautés sédentarisées entre le Ve millénaire av. J.-C. et le IIe millénaire av. J.-C.

Eleven converging rows of menhirs stretching for 1,165 by 100 metres (3,822 by 330 ft). The largest stones, around 4 metres (13 ft) high, are at the wider, western end; the stones then become as small as 0.6 metres (2 ft 0 in) high. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.

Always worth looking over the parapet!
This resting seagull was not going to stay long. Was it time to get the camera set? Just. Luckily this composition was perfect for the shot. Quickest ever. And no snatched movement!
Very often it is difficult to balance strong leading lines to avoid 'skewed' appearance in the final image. This view presented itself perfectly, even to the corner positioning -all as seen in the viewfinder! How lucky was that?
Randy Talbot of Salem and Aaron Page of Bend align the frames for the solar panels at the Baldock Solar Highway Project near I-5.
Use the image on the positioning plate to see where you should place your paper. See how it flips up? But the white circular pins in the bottom part of the plate keep it in the same place.
Lay the positioning plate flat and figure out where you want to place your paper. You can also mark it using tape, or the tab guides that come with your gocco.

This was actually taken by my friend Shelomie, but she doesn't have a Flickr and I thought it was pretty cool. I was too busy pointing out the alignment to Weronika.
I sure wish amateur photographers could sign some sort of waiver to be able to get up closer to the action. Of course I know why that is not possible in the modern world, but I can wish!

In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2020 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the third round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving over 140 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2020 Digital Development Awards, including USAID/Indonesia: Human Resources for Health in 2030 (HRH2030) Program.
HRH2030 won for strengthening the human resources for health information system and its ecosystem to provide real-time quality data for strategic use, while also supporting policy development that address challenges in the health workforce and contributing to better public health outcomes overall.
“Quality data is amazing,” says Dr. Ani Ruspitawati, head of the Health Resources Division at Jakarta’s Provincial Health Office (PHO). Dr. Ani’s office oversees 5,503 health facilities in Indonesia’s bustling capital city, Jakarta.
The facilities -- known locally as puskesmas -- serve about 10 million people. And just like doctors need data about their patients to provide the right treatment, the PHO needs data on its health workforce to improve the quality of care at puskesmas.
Equipped with good data about nurses, specialists, doctors, and other health professionals, the PHO can make smart decisions regarding everything from licensing and credentials to assigning health workers to puskesmas based on local needs. “Data is needed for decision-making. If the data is inaccurate, then the decisions will be wrong,” Dr. Ani explains.
But when COVID-19 struck -- with Jakarta as the nation’s hotspot -- the PHO needed well-organized, up-to-date data in order to mount an effective response. / Photo: Des Syafrizal for USAID

Most Lego steering requires a lot of space but the angled levers create a virtual pivot within the wheel. Of course, the wheels aren't linked so the truck won't roll well without finesse, but it works well for display
The A890 around Loch Carron is one of my favourite roads to drive due to its character and the scenery it travels through. To begin with, the road climbs high into the mountains on well aligned, graceful bends. The sweeping bends continue for a while through large pine forests, allowing anticipation to build. After a few miles, a single track road sign appears and that's when the route really starts to become fun.
However, the transition between the modern, sweeping route and hillier, single track, rising and falling section isn't just marked by a road sign, you're also presented with this beautiful view of Loch Carron. On a less windy day, this sea loch will perfectly reflect the cloud above. I get the feeling this scene would look especially good on a calm, Autumn day with just a hint of mist around the edge of the water.
