Weekly Challenge: One Shot, Two Ways
I stood in exactly the same place when I took the photos, but I had to crop a little off the left side of the horizontal view because there was part of an ugly building. I try to “crop in the camera,” but sometimes it’s impossible because of available standing room and other factors I can’t control. I much prefer the vertical shot because I was able to include more of that gorgeous fireweed.

A dead tree stump in the woods next to my house provided the fungus for the next two shots.

These are beautiful pictures!
Thanks, I’m glad you like them. The fireweed has been exceptional this year, which has given exceptional photo opportunities!
Love the vertical view of the boat. It captures the line of the river so much better and adds a lot more feeling to the picture. 🙂
Thanks, Alex. As you know, the subject matter determines which way we take the photos, but I’ve found that I tend to prefer vertical if possible. Somehow they are more dynamic.
Well, after seeing them, I prefer the first and the last photo. Very interesting post. Thank You.
