All of us at Muench Workshops would like to thank you for your participation in our assignments so far this year! We hope that you’ve had some fun and found inspiration in each other’s images. We certainly have.
There are many different ways to photograph a scene. Your point of view, the positioning of your camera, and even your focal point can all have a dramatic impact on the scene that you decided to capture.
In this week’s assignment, we want you to think about photographing the same scene in both a vertical and horizontal format. You would be surprised how many landscape images look great shot vertical and how many portraits (people) look amazing taken horizontally.
You may find yourself having to reposition yourself to get the composition that you want with either format. So give it a try while you are out taking your photos for the assignment. What this exercise will accomplish is the following:
- This will slow you down and force you to study more of the scene.
- You will learn that there are many ways to capture the same scene.
- There may be more than one focal point that you may not have originally noticed.
After you have created your two images, upload both in your post on our Muench University Facebook page. Our pros will be waiting to offer helpful commentary, and we also encourage you to leave comments on each other’s images.
