Photography 1: The Art of Photography

Project: Frame Shapes and Sizes.
Exercise: Vertical and Horizontal Frames.

I took the photographs for this exercise on a recent trip to the German city of Frankfurt.  I chose 20 separate locations and took a photograph of each of the locations in both vertical and horizontal format.

What did I learn from the exercise?

It is clear that most scenes can be made to work as both a vertical and a horizontal image.  The result may not always suit the subject and may not be quite as successful.  However, it is important not to get into the habit as seeing all images as either vertical or horizontal.

The pairs of images are shown below:
