Earlier today I wrote in another thread, here, that whilst in the far north-west of Scotland last week, I tried really, really hard to 'see' images in other than B & W and square. I wanted to force myself to 'see' in other ways.
It proved to be enormously difficult. I have trained myself to 'see' compositions and images square and in B & W. Trying to 'see' in other ratios and in colour does require a deal of mental shifting. The same applies moving between genres. But it's always a good way of learning and training ourselves to make good images. If we can remain our own harshest critic (not always easy) we should avoid too many disasters.
So please feel free to critically assess this and give your opinion as to its merit.
