I’ve had a lot of photo fatigue lately which even two recent holiday breaks offering different views did not alleviate. But once again I’ve remembered that changing photo ratios with its differing perspective is one way out of the doldrums and so an evening walk yesterday rendered these. [click any to view closer]
Plants are ideal as its all in the detail of forms and sole focus
Light and shade and perspectives draw the eye into the 1:1 ratio though busyness in landscapes can reduce the effect so I was not sure about these two:-
Patterns fit the geometry perfectly and work well too when these veer into the abstract
For Monochrome Monday when even the photo blues are black and white and squared

I really love these Laura
thanks Paul – at least they sparked my interest too
How gorgeous. Wonderful captures.
many thanks Selma – i’m going to stick with the squares for a little while

Love all these, Laura, but especially the goose grass. A good square can often perk things up.
Thank you – I’d forgotten that name Tish, as I use cleavers instead but never ‘sticky willy’ especially as this year my daughter and I have been steeping some overnight to drink as a cold infusion. It tastes very earthy and reminds me a little of carrot – it has some renowned health benefits too!
Oh bother, I forgot to do that this year. It tastes like a grassy tonic, and then seems to top up all one’s cells.
spot on description – still plenty about but less youthful
These are gorgeous, Laura. I hadn’t thought about squaring (or at least doing something different). I haven’t had my big camera out in ages, having grown tired of it and with dealing with the photos. “Photo fatigue” is a good word for it.
thank you Robin – hope you feel inspired to do something different – your photos would be missed if you had the fatigue
At the risk of picking favorites, some thoughts: the plant detail (1st image below the header) lovely and smooth midrange grays (it would make a really nice print). The light on the landscape with the formidable tree trunk takes me back to why I pick up a camera. A fine effort here, Laura
your opinion so valued – thank you for the encouragement to print and the formidable tree is a favourite subject – one I like to revisit
