Shapes, in this instance triangles become an important aspect when taking and composing an image. The triangle is the most basic shape in nature and the creations of mankind.
Real triangles
To find a subject that is triangular in itself
Owl
By chance I noticed the owl approaching and landing on this branch. There was safe place to stop. The whole body of the Owl is a triangle, the eyes and beak form another. The forked branch implies a triangular frame for the bird.
The iconic British Phonebox
To make a triangle by perspective, converging towards the top of the frame
There are not many tall buildings in the country side and near the routes I work. So I had a go at the phonebox using the wideangle lens and lying on the ground. If I continue drawing the lines from each corner they will form triangles
Playing on the swing
Make in inverted triangle by perspective, converging at the bottom of the frame

The leg of the swing nearest the comera is the converging point of a number of triangles. I can see at least two with the actual frame and several in the shadows.Implied
BBQ
Make a still-life arrangement of five or six objects to creat a triangle with the apex at the top
Its a warm and sunny day so used the things around to create a still-life with a numper of outdoor activity items. The triangular lines of items and shadows point to the top.
Gardening stuff
Make a still-life arrengement with the triangle inverted
I have chosen items I use in my daily workinlife to create this image. The Wendyhouse and broom create one line of the tiangle, while the items are alingned to point downwards
A Familyportrait
Arrange three people in a group picture in such a way that either their faces or their bodies makes triangle
A range of triangle I can see. Three objects/subjects in one image allways make a trinagle. The implied ones are going up the bodylines until they meet.
It took me quite some time to get together a range of images, though some where easier than others. I could see triangles in many places and freqently wondered how best to take them. The still-life images I found the most difficult and am not sure I met what was expexted of the task.
I rarely take pictures of people. So another challenge when it comes to asking them to co-operate with me please.
I further wanted to take images with being potentially interesting or unusual.
It also took several attempts to position myself and the camera in postion to create hopefully something more interesting
