Lens Artists #305 – Two Rectangles (or more?)

Egidio asks us to consider compositions relying on two rectangles for their success. I’m not at all sure I’m approaching this correctly, but here goes:

First up, the simplest of compositions, upper rectangle sky, lower one sea:

and another one, mountains and sky, then sea, sand and runner

Now let’s look at a few rectangles in an urban scene, and I thik you can be fairly fluid in your selection of rectangular components here:

…and I love to frame with a window, glazed or not:

Finally, one of my favourite images of all time, a lith film treatment of an original colour transparency from 1980 taken in the Jardin de la Fontaine in Nîmes, Provence. I can create multiple rectangles from this image – the whole image, vertical upper left quadrant, horizontal lower right quadrant etc….

  1. Whatever the intention of the challenge, your choices worked for me, Sue. The last one feels like an Impressionist painting.

    Best wishes, Pete.

  2. Bravo, Sue! Magnificent effort. You know of course that my favourite is the beach and mountains, or maybe that wonderful sunset. Happy weekend, darlin!

  3. Well, you cracked it in the end, with a great set of photos. You know I’m a fan of your images, so I’m going to be brave and ask – what is it that makes last one ‘one of my favourite images of all time’? It must be the memories is evokes, as on the face of it, it’s a pleasant view of a pleasant park.

      Well, the original colour image was just a moment captured, but I had some lith film to play with in the darkroom. That was the one image that worked as a conversion as the elements came together much more visibly with the contrasty film- strong diagonal leading line through the centre with the figures on the benches placed on it, the trees nicely stark and strong

  4. Beautiful, Sue! The sunset is a favourite.
