Vanishing points will be the September B&W challenge. A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective rendering where the two-dimensional perspective projections of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge. We have all taken vanishing point photos. I hope you can find an image or two in your archives. My examples are quite routine, but perhaps you can post something different. One of these examples (Chinook Arch) is a bit different in that there are two points in one photo. These are anticrepuscular rays are opposite of the setting sun, i.e., the sun was behind me.  Mainstreet Bentley, Alberta 
This is the odd example. A Chinook arch is an optical illusion. The line of the "arch" is actually a straight line that vanishes to the left and right horizons. This is a multi-shot panorama. 
Typical example 
Also not quite typical in that the road is not exactly straight but does diminish in the distance.  |

Great timing Clive! My wife is taking an art class and this week's theme is perspective and vanishing points. We've been talking about them a bit. Looking forward to going out to photograph a good example.

Good choice of subject and I'm sure to have a few. Here's one I recall from a few years back - we do have a lot of straight rail lines around here so always good for a vanishing pint subject!  Tony |

Taylors Point Wharf, Avalon. The classic receding wharf shot!  Convert to b&w, levels, bit of dodge and burn and applied Classic effect in PSE23. Oh and I cloned out an antennae unit from the end of the wharf which spoiled the whole thing.  |

Thank you Howard and mart44 for your entries. Nice work. Howard, I particularly like your night street scene but had to look up DaidÅ Moriyama. Your photo has a lot of dark which adds to the intrigue. |

In the style of Daido Moriyama? Howard - I love it! There's a figurative vanishing going one as well as the literal ones.. Great mood and a beautiful image. Bill |
