05/28/12 Square Format VI just help myself. If I had chosen the 3:2 format this image would not have been made. When looking through the viewfinder (I just can't shoot holding a camera at arms length) in the 3:2 format I have trouble taking an actual photograph. This used to confuse me in the early days but I soon realised that the format in which you photograph does indeed influence just how much images you make.
Try it youself, select a different format on consecutive days and see haw your images turn out, and, more importantly, how many images you come home with. 1351
E-P3 Focal Length: 75 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/1250 sec ISO: 200 05/27/12 Square Format IVI did say taht I'm shooting more in the square format. I was just a little surprised that I do it so often. I tend to be a minimalistic photographer. It's the little things that attract my eye but funnily enough I don't post them too aften. 1426
E-P3 Focal Length: 90 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/1600 sec ISO: 200 05/26/12 Square Format IIIAnother square one for you. Things just fit nicely together in this format. I wonder why that is. I take a lot more photographs using this format. In the 3:2 format I just don't seem to get the image that I want. 4:3 is better but 1:1 beats them all. Maybe I should switch to medium format? It had crossed my mind but after looking at the prices of these things, I think I'll just stick with the m4/3 system and select the 1:1 format. Do you know how many CSC cameras you can buy for the price of one medium format camera? Do yourself a favour and just don't go in that direction. 1268
E-P3 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/9.0 Exposure Time: 1/640 sec ISO: 200 05/25/12 Square Format IIIf you've been reading this photoblog then you will have noticed me going on a bit about the square format. Quite a few of my last posts have been in this format and I've just noticed that quite a few planned ones are also in this format. I seem to be using it very often these days.
I swear it, the first camera to be produced that has this format sensor will be purchsed without a second thought. The problem with the present sensors is that although you can select this format you do lose some pixels hence reducing the resolution of your files. I really want a square sensor in the 16MP area. That would suit me fine. How about you? 1698
E-P3 Focal Length: 14 mm Aperture: f/11.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 200 05/24/12 Square FormatThe more images I take in the square format, the more I like it. Apparently, this is the most difficult format to use and come out with some great images. I'm finding that I see a lot more in this format. Of course it won't improve your photography but this format suits me fine. I really like it. I'm not saying that these are great images but it's something I find easier to use than the usual 3:2 format which I don't really like. Much prefer the 4:3 or 1:1 format. 1438
E-P3 Focal Length: 42 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 200 05/17/12 Square FormatI've said it before and I'll say it again, the more I photograph in the square format the more I like it, especially using a zoom lens. I can frame it in a totally different way from the normal 4:3 or 3:2 format. I've also been dabling in the 16:9 format which seems great. The only problem is, the Panasonic GH2 is the only camera on the market right now that has an extra wide sensor so that when you photograph in the 16:9 format, you don't lose pixels doing it. I'm not going to be buying the GH2 but I'll be keeping an eye out on future cameras that offer this feature. It's a great idea and the format opens up a whole new world. 2026

05/08/11 LX5 Square fiormat II.Last square format for this entry. 1811
DMC-LX5 Focal Length: 10 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 10/800 sec ISO: 100 03/09/11 Square FormatI like this one. Backlit leaves just after being watered.
I must be getting better at this square format.
Nice light. 1908
DMC-GF1 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 10/600 sec ISO: 100 03/08/11 Square FormatThe more I use the square format, the more I like it.
It's not easy to use but slows you down and makes you think more. It calls for symmetry in your images. By that I mean that it has to be balanced. I don't think I'm quite there yet, but I'm practicing. 1597
