I used to try to frame shots exactly as I wanted them when I had a SLR camera many years ago. I guess that’s good practice and film was expensive. But now . . . often I do crop but try not to too much for the sake of resolution. I crop a lot for my project with Richard, in order to find a suitable response to his previous image. Actually, I cropped this very image to a square to fit the format for that blog.
Hmm yeah I got a pocket cam with a viewfinder especially so I can frame shots the way I want. It cost a pretty penny for a pocket cam but the viewfinder is so worth it!
Yes, I prefer this version to the cropped one. I’m finding it very intetesting, this cropping to a square format for BSAG. Some things plainly don’t work but I find the opposite, too. Sometimes I much prefer the square. I love our blog, Richard. It’s so good for me!

Wonderful post.
Thank you, Mukul.
Love how you did this
I take it was in the car
Just great
Thanks very much, Sheldon; I was on a bus. 🙂
Ashley, when you are taking photos, do you often take high quality photos and then crop out a part you like to come up with these compositions??

I’m looking forward to seeing some of your photos. I take it you’ll post some on ‘Epileptic Moondancer’?
Love this, Ash–
love the tones, the textures, the composition.
Love it.
Thank you, Johnny. It’s long been a favourite of mine.

Yes, me too! Particularly like the way it’s going at the moment.
Yes, indeed. 🙂
