Project 25 - rectangles

I chose several examples of rectangles from within walking distance of our house and, as indicated in the course text, there were many examples to choose from. All shots were taken about two hours dawn on a bright sunny day using the Canon DSLR with Tamron 18 - 270mm lens (without tripod), at ISO 400 and 'Daylight' setting for white balance.


The first shot is a very simple close up of a brick wall, a collection of rectangular shapes, at f/14, shutter speed of 1/20s @ 70mm.



Secondly, I photographed a newly constructed pergola on our local promenade in such a way that the shot shows interlocking rectangles receding into the middle distance, with the ground being their base.



For this photo I used f/11 with a shutter speed of 1/50s @39mm.


Thirdly, the two-tone blue doors of the jewellery kiosks form obvious rectangles.
Taken at f/14, shutter speed of 1/50s @39mm.




Finally, the photo of this modern building shows a design full of rectangular shapes; the walls, window frames, shutters, railings etc. Taken with f/14, 1/100s shutter speed @119mm.



Having done this project, I can better appreciate the difficulties in keeping the shapes looking rectangular. Despite my best endeavours during framing the shots, some 'tweaking' was required on several of the shots to achieve this.
