Nice clouds! I really like the car and parachute. That one's a real
wall-hanger! C.

Subject: [ratpack] Image size & cropping format
Something that was pointed out to me (well, I was shown some
alternatives) is that I've been thinking in an 8x10 or 11x14
mode. Other aspect ratios haven't seemed to find a place for
themselves in my head.
One that was shown to me was 3:1, or 36x12 print size. Photo 937 is
in this format. I dunno if I can get prints made in this size at
Costco or not. But it's a different way of looking at things.
The 2nd one is to use the sky and clouds as an element in the photo
and using portrait orientation rather than landscape. Photo 987 is
an example of this. I probably otta clean all the stuff outta the
background except for the car. This is a case where I really DID try
to minimize the background junk...but this was the best I could make of it.
The reason this came up was on the next-to-last day of World Finals,
the koolest cloud formation appeared over the salt. Photo 975 shows
one angle of it (facing to the east) in landscape orientation and
photo 997 shows the rest of the formation looking to the west in
vertical (portrait orientation.) I left the burn thru of the sun in
the photo because...well, frankly, I just don't know how to deal with
it in any other way.
Comments very welcome...please. :)
