I spent the day in London so took my camera with me to make good use of my time taking snaps for this exercise. None of my photos have been edited any way.
When photographing landscape it seems natural to me to take horizontal pictures and found that I was looking for tall objects for the vertical challenge. I did slip in the odd plant pot and a portrait for good measure.
When studying the results, it became apparent that my horizontal choices would have an even weight across the middle of the picture, and/or a horizon line across the horizontal line which would section a third of the photo. I also selected to keep a larger amount of the foreground.
A very different result was apparent with the vertical photograph choices. These were mostly centre waited with taller objects, i. e. a statue or a person, mostly weighted to the bottom of the frame and containing vertical lines.
The differences were quite surprising with the vertical shots giving a hidden depth to the frame.
If I were to repeat this exercise I would select a tighter image with a more cropped effect.
