Gate and Rope
This week’s photo challenge asks us to show one shot from two different aspects, using landscape and portrait. One thing I learned here today is that I do not use a lot of the portrait orientation for photography, I seem to have gotten stuck in landscape somewhere along the line. I’ve got more work to do here.
An awakening for me.

Oh, to live in a climate where wrought iron birds of paradise adorn gates! Nice shots, Angeline, and perfect for the challenge.

Thanks, John. I would love to go back to Hawaii just to photograph gates. I’ve seen some fantastic ones. In fact….you’ve given me food for future photos 🙂

A very nice solution to the challenge. I really like your vertical version, gives more food to thoughts. Generally I think a lot of people get stuck in the landscape orientation – included myself…

Isn’t it great how we can get so many perspectives out of one scene?

I like the first,
the contrast:
horizontal ropes
vs. vertical greens …

Thanks, Frizz. That’s exactly what I was concentrating on in the shot, the ropes and hooks they’re attached to. In retrospect, I now would have zoomed in on those points. Guess I’ll just have to fly back to Hawaii for more photos.

I think you have done a great job with this challenge Angeline. And you are probably not alone focussing on landscape photography.

This is very interesting, Angeline 🙂 The portrait one reveals more and I prefer it to your landscape 🙂

Thanks, Paula. You know, in looking through my photos that have one shot both landscape and portrait, I am seeing this very thing, and will have to consider using portrait more often.

I prefer the bottom shot because it contains more of the background and creates a sense of depth in the photo.

Thanks CG. Yes, I agree. This challenge has been a good learning point for me.

I noticed the same thing Angeline! Almost all my shots are landscape! Funny isn’t it. I still need to put together my post but I’m glad I’m not the only one who uses more landscape shots. I guess I prefer it that way! 🙂

I only had seven vertical out of 1000 from my Tour de Vanoise France trip! But I still feel that I prefer landscape especially photographing landscapes! But now I have something to work on!

Well! This seems to be a more common thing than I thought. Amazing how we tend to prefer one way of shooting over another.
