Portrait v Landscape
Most of the time when I rock up to a location and pick a composition I have a clear idea in my mind as to whether it will be a portrait shot or a landscape version. I do though try to remember the words of wisdom of one of the well known YouTube ‘Tog Gods’ (I forget which one) who said to shoot both orientations ‘just in case’. This is one such occasion when I’m really glad I remembered that advice. A day of rain earlier in the week had washed away all vestiges of the snow and ice that had made my first day and a bit in Glencoe so wonderful. Fortunately, Google in the UK hasn’t been taken over by the Trumpland desire to rename things so I was able to pretty much pinpoint the location after comparing Streetview with a YT video. . I got there just before golden hour and thought ‘portrait’ so set up accordingly. I shot several focus-stacked set of images through ‘golden hour’ but the location of the tree and the mountains around it were not going to keep it in shade. As sunset approached I could see some cloud in the distance but my location meant I had no idea if the cloud was down to the horizon or not. I thought it likely it was but just as I was about to pack up I thought I saw the barest touch of colour in some high level clouds. It was too late to change locations and I had plenty of time before dinner so I thought I’d hang around and see if anything happened. Well I think it’s readily apparent that something did happen! For between 5 and 10 mins the sky coloured up more and more. So with a smile on my face I shot several series of portrait focus-stacked sets of images. Then the ‘words of wisdom’ came to me and I changed to landscape. I’ve decided to post both versions because I am genuinely torn as to which I prefer. I like the foreground rocks in the portrait image but also the wider aspect in the Landscape version. I’m genuinely curious to hear what you as an audience think? www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/54329631335/in/dateposted-public/ www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/54329631335/in/datepo... I do feel guilty in being so haphazard in commenting on posts. I’m struggling to even find the time to edit so I think I need to rethink my daily ‘schedule’. © All rights reserved to Steve Pellatt.
