A vanishing point, also known as the point of convergence, is a key element in many works of art. Think of the vanishing point is the spot on the horizon line where the other lines diminish. It allows us to a create three-dimensional look in drawings, paintings, and photographs.
When shooting perspective images, sometimes the vanishing point visible. Sometimes it’s not, as in my image. The curve of the vanishing point gives you the feeling that you know what is just beyond the bend in the road.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR THREE…) THAT FEATURE A VANISHING POINT.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography. Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.
Very lovely capture this is, Nancy 🙂
I love this narrow alleys, and it is almost as if the “bridge” is put in to keep the houses apart.
A beautiful image Nancy and a lovely challenge. I’ve looked at ‘Vanishing Point’ both from a photographic and a meditative perspective: https://whippetwisdom.com/2019/01/17/haiku-golden-hour/
A great image for the theme!

Beautiful shot Nancy. Where is this lovely place?
This was fun, but as usual, I wasted way too much time browsing (and organizing) various other photos in my archives!

When I think of Vanishing Point I think of that movie where the Dodge Challenger crashes into the tractor at the end (spoiler alert). Heres mine-no car: https://photographyocd.com/2019/01/02/the-theory-of-emptiness/
Beautiful photo, Nancy. I love the textures and colors. You’re so gifted!
Thanks, Shelley. 🙂
Beautiful image Nancy xx
Wonderful image and prompt, Nancy.
This one took me (as can often be the case with me) on a bit of a different — or double — association with the challenge. May it be for good.
