Not far from our hotel along the Androscoggin River is a magnificent wall of color. At first blush there seemed to be just one composition, just one shot, the wall of color, however, that is almost never true. So again, like the last post, I submit what were for me, three right answers.
All images taken with the Fuji X-E1 and 55-200mm lens including the square which was shot in-camera as a square. This is another feature I really like about my Fuji’s. I can even shoot square and B&W while not losing the original full frame RAW capture.
I like them all but absolutely LOVE the square crop with more focus on the detail of the scene. I would not have seen that at all in the past.. But I’m learning! To my eye, the gorgeous colors in the leaves plus the white of the trunks together pull me right in to the image.
Second better then the first, but the in your face sq. gets my vote.
“There is never a right or wrong answer in photography… only movement to the left, the right, moving forward, backward and moving on … following your visions.”
Absent having the three, and to judge on their own, they each have their own qualities. Having the same spot and moving in, it gets better and better moving in (IMO). The last square crop is really stands out – especially with its detail, colors and brilliant red!
Great example to focus and zoom in JB!
The square one is the wall hanger for me, John. It has been so dreary here for the last few days that this looks especially pleasing. Way to keep working it!
Thanks Donnie.
I prefer the third one.
Thanks Crunch.
Hi John, like them all but #3 is my choice. Concluded that before i saw all the comments. Looks like the crowd agrees.
It does seem to be the case and I’ll share some thoughts on that in my next post… 🙂
The square crop gets my vote too. Something about it makes it seem to draw you in more than the others. You become part of the image as if you are right there. Wonderful shot.
Thanks Nicki
Really like the horizontal one, John. It seems like the birch trees dance across the image and the variety of color is great!!!
Thanks Dennis.
