Task 2

FORMAT

Most cameras are set up with grips that let you hold them comfortably in a horizontal or landscape orientation. You can also use vertical or portrait composition and which option you choose, it all depends on what you want to include in your photo. There's no right or wrong.

Here's an example of two photos of the same situation shot horizontally and vertically. They are both quite good but they focus on different things. Left one focuses on the person in the front and people in the background are blurry. Right picture focuses on everyone and it gives the impression that there are more people working than in the left photo. Also the ditch with water in it looks longer and bigger. Looking at that photo you don't really focus on the person in the front but on every person in a white suit.


I've taken few photos showing different uses of horizontal and vertical orientation.

I was trying take photos of the same person or a thing but by using different formats I was trying to make them look different. Using different angles as well as formats was very helpful because it created a better effect.
