CS #667 - Square Format

[warth man]

If everyone is happy I'll pick this one up. I don't recall the theme having been done, at least for a while, but the aim is simply to submit photographs that you think look good in a square format. It's something I've noticed I don't use as often as I perhaps might and it's possible others may be in the same boat. Anyway, usual rules apply re pics to be taken over this coming week, up until midnight your time next Wednesday (28 August) and no more than three to a post. Subject can be anything you like, again within the usual rules. Just to whet the appetite, here are three I've picked from my flickr pages:

Square pictures are for people who don’t know vertical from horizontal...oh wait...that includes me. Just joking, Great topic

 

[Palouse]

That squares with my thinking!

Perhaps I should have gone for circles, then we could all have gone in all directions. But some of you guys might have started forming defensive positions with your wagons.

Interesting theme and nice examples! I usually only crop to square, when I want to eliminate an object from a scene, but I must admit, I do like the look of square shots. Fingers crossed for finding time to shoot this week...

This is so pretty. Think I’ll put my 85 f1.4 on my z6 and see if I can manually focus it with good results. You’ve inspired me!

West, the first one is perfect for a 1:1, and the second ain't shabby either.

I can't see the square yet...

And that is a good start indeed Roland. Oddly enough I was just looking at the used prices on that lens yesterday. It certainly produces nice results.

Two nice shots West and nearly square (!). How do you do that faded border?

Thanks West. Hadn't looked at ON1. I've actually purchased Luminar to try as an alternative to LR but not really got into it yet.
