Scott’s approach to leading lines is less about a “trick” and more about how they serve the story in the frame.

From the article on leading lines, the focus is on using anything with a definite line—roads, fences, bridges, shorelines—to direct the eye deliberately to the subject or even out of the frame, not just to add depth. He then combines those lines with rule of thirds placement of the subject, which stacks multiple strong composition tools in a single image, rather than relying on lines alone.

That combination typically gives more intentional, viewer-guiding compositions than using leading lines as a generic “make it look 3D” device.

Would you like examples of how to apply this in a landscape or street scene you shoot?
