Whatever your eyes has centred on at the converging point of the road will be your point of attention, regardless of what it is. Similarly, the use of converging lines in photography as a composition technique is the same as visualising the elements in the middle or the end of the converging point of the road.

As in using the framing techniques, using the converging lines are to further complement the main subject, not to overrule it. In this page are four examples of how converging lines are used to illustrate the point.


The real benefit of using correct composition techniques is the ability to crop off unwanted details in the viewfinder prior to clicking the shutter button. Unless the final results are to be used in publications or posters where additional cropping can be done later; cropping them off via the viewfinder is a hallmark of professional photographers.
