Richard I know this is not a good photo but would this be leading lines? I took this photo over a year ago. I have a really hard time capturing what I see with my camera.
Well, you have some really nice lines here, primarily vertical ones. This isn't bad. The point is not whether it is a good photo or not, the point is that you learn and understand what the concept is. By doing, you learn better than by merely reading.
The idea of leading lines is to help the viewer's eye move through the image so it's not boring and static. Yours does this very well. Leading lines work best when they are diagonal or s-curves so next time maybe you can look for those. Also, it is more effective if the lines are leading the eye TO something...like the focal point or the main subject. Keep looking, you will soon fine leading lines everywhere. The just try to incorporate them into your compositions.
