In my travels with cameras, I discover a lot of round or circular objects, and since my fave and probably most frequently used aspect ratio in photography is the square, I’ll center these objects and make a photo.
Here’s a montage I put together of 16 faves.
I also assembled an album with 88 examples of circle/square on Flickr, check it out…
Taken with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100, using the Dynamic B&W setting. It. Is. Awesome.
Handy tool for taking Annie out back at night.
I’m clearly drawn to round or circular objects centered in a square. I’ll dig through the archives and see if I can’t put together a montage.
Pentax *ist + Sigma 28-135 3.8-5.6 macro.
This is a digital shot I made a coupla’ weeks back using my old Pentax 330GS.
The image was converted to black and white using Photoshop, where I also increased the contrast a bit, and inverted it to make a negative. I then opened the file in Illustrator, scaled it to around 8″ x 10″, then printed the image on acetate using our old Samsung laser printer.
It’s about an 8 minute exposure.
