This will be very interesting to watch Irene. I started out with a square format camera and had to crop them into rectangles. Now I will see the reverse process on this challenge. Great idea.


The life of technology....forever changing....based on new ideas.

Sweet dog I met on the Riverwalk. He was one of three with a fisherman and his face just appealed to me so I snapped his picture.

My favorite camera was a twin-lens medium-format Automatic Rolleiflex, which had a square 2-1/4 x 2-1.4 inch ground-glass screen, viewed from above. The screen was divided into 12 squares to help align the verticals and/or horizontals, if you wanted to. Composing on a square ground-glass tempts you to fill the screen, and I often did. But professional magazine photographers usually want to please an editor with an oblong format, hoping for a full-page image. I certainly don't want to suggest that these images are the best way to compose a square format image, but I submit them for your comments.

Irene, I'd like to add another element of composition, "tension." This involves finding a relationship between two or more components of the image. I usually work for a diagonal flow across the image. A diagonal is the most powerful element, arousing interest because it indicates instability. Just a thought.

Richard, adding another element works for me. I have to admit I have a hard time recognizing and putting them all the elements - or just one -into play as I shoot. A great photographer I will never be.....but I do have fun shooting nevertheless.

As always, I love viewing the images you share. What a fantastic photographer you are.

Interesting challenge Irene, I love working a lot of my work square so hope to join in later

Frog is a great example


Simon, I find working with my close-ups....such as flowers....I will do a square crop....or a 4x5 crop. And I have noted much of your work is in a square format. And, thank you for the comment.

Boy, I was impressed in the square effect with this photo, Jim! It puts the focus on the camera and stand, most decidedly! :thumbup:
