Dynamic Diagonals is the use of diagonal lines which add a dynamic element of perceived energy and motion through photographs. these lines are effective because the viewers eye will follow them through the photograph. The eye moves through the photograph based on how we read which is from left to right.
**If one would create a photograph that would be published in a country where written words were read in another direction, the direction of Dynamic Diagonals should be taken into consideration**
Photographs with diagonals that begin from the top left corners and end at the bottom right
give a sense of speed, movement and direction.
In this photograph, the alignment with the buildings in the top left draws the viewers eyes towards
the big building in the center. the flag poles also draw attention to the big building because of its
vanishing point.
