As you all know there is only one rule if you want to part of the Square Gang and be sure your squares make into the gallery.
YourΒ main photograph must be square!
But even I find that challenging sometimes, especially when I have a habit of photographing buildings from an angle! And I also suspect this square of azulejos won’t be sufficient for either Brian orΒ SueΒ given Monday’s comments π
If you have not joined in with Squares before then why not join us this month. There are around sixty of us taking part this month. The theme for July is βblueβ, and as always it is totally up to you how you interpret the square theme but here are my suggestions for how we might stay connected on our square adventures this month.
- Your photographic square could be a βBolt from the Blueβ β something unexpected or surprising such as a headless woman on the parapet!
- Alternatively why not explore βInto the wide blue yonderβ β sky, sea or maybe a location that is appealingly unknown and mysterious
- Or if you prefer keep it simple with βBlueβΒ β whether thatβs azure, cobalt, sapphire, cerulean, navy, ultramarine, indigo, or turquoise
- And if youβre feeling particularly adventurous try to combine two of these, or maybe all three as I have today with my blue sky, shades of blues and unexpected headless woman!
Hopefully you can join me in posting daily but if daily is too difficult, then it is okay to post every other day, weekly or even just βonce in a blue moonβ. As no matter how often you post I will include you in at least one blue gallery (well I will if you keep your photographs square!!).
Thanks for the challenge reminder. I hope I didn’t disappoint you today ;-)! Love your photo – the leading lines are gorgeous!
