This exercise was tremendous fun. I repeated this in several locations and the results shown here are a selection from the many and varied shots taken.
The lessons learned here were that:
- vertical orientation need not be restricted to portraits or subjects which have a vertical pattern in them;
- portraits shot horizontally work equally well;
- there is a need to re-position in many cases for the photograph to "work";
- vertical orientation seems to provide depth, whereas horizontal gives breadth - this is clearly demonstrated in some of the pairs of shots;
- for close up shots, like those of the wheels from the steam engine, the vertical orientation gives more impact and provides for a better crop.
