POBphotocontest New Round: LEADING LINES
The theme for this week
This week, I chose a slightly technical subject for the #pobphotocontest, but I think everyone can do it.
Leading lines photography is a technique where you use natural or man-made lines to guide the viewer’s eyes through the photo. These lines usually lead to the main subject or create a sense of depth and movement.
The lines can be roads, paths, fences, rivers, walls etc. The lines should 'drag' the viewer into the frame.
Here is an example of a 'leading lines' photo I took recently.
I'm curious where you come up with! Good with your quest!
About the POBPhotocontest
The #POBPhotoContest is a weekly photography competition featuring a new theme each week. It runs from Sunday to the following Sunday, closing at 8:00 PM CEST.
This contest is open to everyone—whether you're an experienced photographer with professional gear or a beginner capturing shots on your phone. All are welcome to join!
Each week, you can participate by creating a blog post featuring at least one photo that aligns with the current theme. Make sure to place your themed photo as the first image in the post. While you can submit an archived photo, it’s more engaging to head out and capture something new!
Your photo should tell a story on its own, but add context in your post. Share background details about the subject, location, techniques you used, and your inspiration for selecting this photo. Don’t forget to tag your post with #POBPhotoContest so I can find your entry!
You’re also welcome to leave a comment on this post with your photo and a link to your blog entry.
Comments with entries that are posted within the first three days after the announcement post will get an upvote and share 100% of the author rewards of this post via the @commentrewarder initiative!
The contest ends next Sunday at 8:00 PM CEST, after which I’ll review the entries and select three winners. Judging will be based on both photo quality and originality, as well as the accompanying background information in your post.
Winners will receive POB tokens and Ecency points.

It was taken in the hotel where I had stayed back in 2017. The hotel was typical Japanese, very functional, very subtle and perfectionist. Probably not all would like it, but I was fascinated.

Decentralization isn’t just a feature—it’s a fight. Let’s model fairness, rally allies, and pressure Hive to live up to its ideals.

Such an amazing idea! Can you please add me to the ping list? I will do my best to make participate this week and (because of your ping list) in many more to follow!
Thanks! Do you mean this round or the contest itself? Because the latter already exists quite a while 😉
I've added you to the list!
Did you also know I create a weekly blog with all photography contests I know of?
I'm about to publish this weeks edition. I can also give you a mention in that one.
Then you have even more photocontests to join 😊
I had a months-long downward spiral regarding inspiration / going out for photo walks and I want to change that. Please add me to your photo contest collection for sure :) This will help a lot!
side-note: One of my cameras and my makro lens got stolen this week ;( But fortunately I still have a a6400 and a good phone. So count me in
Photocontests can be a good inspiration. I'll add you to the weekly post.
No way, that is terrible 😠
Luckily you still have another camera and your phone.
I'm using my phone more and more lately. Phone camera's are really good nowadays.
I hope to see your entry soon!

I took these photos last year near the city of Duisburg in North Rhine Westphalia (Germany) and I think they fit quite well with the topic "Leading Lines"
