Horizontal Line Photography

In contrast to the effect of vertical lines, horizontal lines can lend a type of lazy, calm feeling to a photograph. They may bring to mind how it feels to lie down and be relaxed. Some examples of using horizontal lines to create a calming mood are to capture long, rolling waves on a shoreline, using the solid line of a fallen tree as a main element; and capturing the peaceful line of an ocean horizon. The calm, relaxed feeling created in all of these scenes can be further enhanced by using a horizontal format.

This photos demonstrates a style of horizontal photography, because  the bricks on the house and the weather boards on the door are all horizontal. The contrast of the red bricks and white door makes it really interesting.
