The One Shot, Two Ways photo challenge is an exercise in composition: take a photo of the same subject in landscape format and in portrait format. Here are two photos of Hibiscus Kopper King.
Oops, make it three photos! Just for fun, I decided to crop the top one into a square format.
Great collection of photos for this challenge!
Oh, good. I am glad that you think so, Jana. I was a little worried that close-ups might not work as well as shots that had more in them.
Very pretty!
Thank you, David : )
Have a nice evening.

Digital photography makes multiple shots easy. Particularly with close ups, or things that move (insects, flowers in the wind), I often snap away, then select the image that came our clearest, or best framed.

Yes, digital photography makes experimentation much easier. I still find, though, that I generally think about my photos before clicking away … but not always!
Have a nice evening, Oscar.

Composition is an element that I have practiced for years. I am spending more time with shutter speeds and apature settings for different effects now. Then, I take multiple frames…
Oscar
If I have good lighting, I usually just work with aperture. If the lighting isn’t what I want, or if I am trying to capture motion, then I adjust both aperture and speed. I need to be better about taking my tripod around with me.

OMG. You can’t see this much detail if you stick your face right into the flower. Beautiful!
Such a pretty flower, you can’t go wrong! And is it possible for these to just crop up randomly? Because they look just like the flowers that are growing on a vine around our fence right now. It never happened before but they’re just beautiful! I think you can see them behind me in my pregnancy photos this week but I can email you a closer shot if not. Do you think they’re Hibiscus?
It is beautiful in every way.
