Project 25: Rectangles

The aim of this project is to produce 3 photos, of different subjects, that contain prominent rectangles, and to keep them rectangular in the photo!

Photo 1: The classic windows & doors photo taken in Amsterdam, with quite a lot of variety & interest.
46mm, f/9, 1/500s, ISO 400

Photo 2: A slightly abstract photo of the side of a houseboat on the canal in Edinburgh. This is more horizontal & vertical than rectangles, but it is very ordered and solid. The slight offsets of the two strong verticals keeps it interesting.
50mm, f/3.5, 1/350s, ISO 200

Photo 3: Tennis Court Road, Cambridge. I liked the sign & drainpost, the brickwork and ledge with shadows finish off the rectangles in this photo.
70mm, f/5.6, 1/1000s, ISO 200

The difficult thing about this project was thinking of different subjects that were rectangluar! Then keeping them as rectangles added to the challenge - I had to think carefully about focal lengths.

  1. I particularly like Tennis Court Road, very pleasing proportions.
