I normally don't read everything in the boards, so I was not ready to read such an excentrical pose, that's the reason I wanted to react. (what about circular pictures? Or eliptical, this was very fashionable about 100 years ago)
I didn't forget to write something about a picture. I just wrote nothing, its simple like this...
Funny, I think on a different picture I uploaded somewhere (I think not here, though) someone commented he only likes 6x7 format pictures if they are vertical. Anyway, I don't know if vertical pictures are more difficult to take. In case of this picture I took horizontal as well as vertical shots but I just liked the vertical ones much better. Could be because the window and the x-rays are of a similar aspect ratio than the whole photo.
This little discussion here reminded of something I once read in a book by Jeanloup Sieff, I looked it up. The author in conversation with Robert Doisneau:
"JLS: Is there a phallic symbolism in the vertical composition of the image, in contrast with that of self-abandon in the horizontal plane?
RD: Disturbing choice, the virile or the lascivious, the obelisque or the odalisque. Ah, but what a context for the leaning tower of Pisa!"
tomas, there was so much written about this in boards and below photos that i don't see any point in repeating it again. naturally i like many vetical pics but it's much more difficult to take them. much more. ;)
(and let's stop that shit with squares :))
sounds bizarre for me.
most portraits are shot so (it gave this format the name), all posters, magazine covers, most of the books... I would wild guess that in the end ist this way of recepting a picture the most seen ever. But that's not the point. I simply can't imagine that something like this can play a role. What about square? :-)
It seems to me like when someone would say to me, he can eat a fish soup only if he would be wearing a fireman's helmet, just a little dada.
im not quite sure if i got it... composed like an abstract painting... and that is the way im trying to think about this picture, cause if i look at it as a photo i dont like it that much...

HN: are you paid for saying "no vertical shooting" on every corner or what?
