SHOW - Shots in square format

Just went through some of my recent photos to find shots which were deliberately processed in square format. I don't have many at all actually, and this 'challenge' has prompted me to try and frame shots in square format deliberately in the future!

Here is one from a trip to Venice in January this year. Cold and foggy conditions at the top of San Giorgio Maggiore Church. Shot with an S1R, 24-105mm at 24mm, F6.3, ISO 200, 1/30s.

I've got quite a few that are square-ish - I don't care to be locked into 3:2 or even 4:3 - but not sure how many are actual perfect squares. Hmmm.

This one's fairly close...

And this one did turn out exactly square!

Hmm... I like this one, but I can't help feeling it would have worked better with a little more of the sky and a little less of the grass. I like the grass and think it gives an important color contrast to the pic, and it makes a great foundation, but the sky has more visual complexity for me.

That works too! Though I'd been thinking more along the lines of keeping the square crop, and just shifting everything down a little in the frame, like this:

Ballyholme beach and bay:

A bit of trickery using underexposure...

It is an evening time sunset at 8:53 pm June 14 and all the lights on in the buildings are all specular and reflected sunlight from the opposite side of Belfast Lough. :cool: _1011134.jpg

Looks like a woodpecker fledgling, I've never seen those here either but there is the least amount of forests in Ireland than in the whole of Europe and too much agricultural land.
