A triangular subject
This was very easy - triangles are everywhere! I found so many that I have included several examples here as they are in themselves very different. I have kept all these images in monochrome, as in each case they improved by the exclusion of colour making the triangles more prominent.
Triangle formed by nature: a conifer tree in a park in Keswick, Cumbria.
Triangles formed by the gaps between the turbine blades; a wind farm in Workington, Cumbria.
Triangular architecture: the spire of St. John's Church in Keswick.
Triangles formed by geology in the shape of the mountains, juxtaposed against the monstruous eyesore of a mobile phonemast overlooking Derwent Water in Cumbria.
Triangular carpentry: an object seen in the Honister Slate Mine in Cumbria.
Triangular windows at the Honister Slate Mine in Cumbria.
A new building, the Shard in London on the South Bank. This photo was taken a few weeks before its completion and was mainly shot for the stunning sky that day.
Triangle by perspective converging towards the top of the frame
A jetty on the shore of Derwent Water in Cumbria forms a triangle by convergence: I left this image in colour as I like the sallow tones of the wood and water together. There are also triangles in the mountains and the reflections in the lake.
Inverted triangle by perspective converging towards the bottom of the frame
Corner of one of the houses in the street where I live in Feltham, London. Inverted triangle in the shape of the front garden and in the corner of the house and the gutter. This was a difficult shot to capture due to the brightness of the sky (during a brief summer moment!) and the shadow in the foreground. After many attempts, I eventually succeeded with ISO 400, 1/750s, f/3.5. This was shot with a wide-angled lens 10-24mm fitted with a polariser taken with me sitting on the ground. I really like the vignetting in the corners, although I realise that other people don't like this. I left this image in colour because of the stunning blue sky.

Still-life of five or six objects to produce a triangle with the apex at the top
Unfortunately, I chose to complete the rest of the exercise whilst out exploring the real ale pubs along the south bank of London. This was taken in the "Town of Ramsgate" which was the third pub along and already at a point where I had shamefully switched to Auto in order to avoid getting into technical difficulties....the person in the background is my friend Jeff, who masterminded the whole event.
Still-life of five or six objects to produce an inverted triangle with the apex at the bottom
Several hours later, standing outside the Market Porter in Borough Market, London, it seemed like a good idea to make the inverted triangle shot out of cones (why there were so many at this location....). The cones themselves are also triangular objects.
This is the scene itself. The reflection off the cones is caused by the camera flash (still on auto) plus there is a triangle by convergence in the street itself with the apex pointing towards the back of the image.
Finally, everything was ruined when a passing car knocked one of the cones over.
Arrange three people in a group picture so that the lines of their bodies makes a triangle
I didn't exactly arrange this, but an opportune moment during a tour of the Honister Slate Mine. Three people standing in a position that forms an inverted triangle (apex towards the bottom); the person forming the apex is my husband. Another "auto" shot, but for different reasons. The lighting was very dark, and I didn't have a tripod with me, so I set to auto and hoped for the best!
