Remember you probably won't need a diffuser if you use it in bright sunlight though.<BR/><BR/>The proportion of the crop is just an exercise for me, much like maintaining the landscape format for this.<BR/><BR/>Most of my photo books end up based on a square format.<BR/><BR/>There is an proportion that is pleasing to the eye, and it's known as the Golden Mean or Golden Ratio which is 1:1.618 and I think I'll write a post about it!bitingmidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593806233011328620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-5472137131808959772009-03-05T10:13:00.000+11:002009-03-05T10:13:00.000+11:00Okay, in that case ignore comment re horizontal.Okay, in that case ignore comment re horizontal.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-14352849504916361302009-03-05T09:30:00.000+11:002009-03-05T09:30:00.000+11:00Darn ... don't have the original with me at work....Darn ... don't have the original with me at work.

I have a thing about horizontals at the moment and wonder what it would be like with him at the right of frame. I know I've done it but I really hate cutting away half the photo. The bright yellow is great. I think there is definitely theory about what compositions are more pleasing to the eye, remember something about it in the 2 day course I did years ago, but I can't tell you what they are, apart from diagonals and rule of thirds but everyone's eye is different anyway so something that pleases me may not please you.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025185028400769912.post-55686551780210884302009-03-05T08:40:00.000+11:002009-03-05T08:40:00.000+11:00Tarnation!
