Some more recent 2:1 compositions.

 

I'm staying in a new high-rise in Brooklyn so have taken some photos of the view at different times of day:

And our stage sets are at Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yards, so I've also taken many photos of the view:

I recently read alot of the high end tv shows are using 2-1 aspect ratio.. The Crown/Fargo/House of Cards.. how they are framing that in camera I dont know.. it might be why I have been asked to shoot corps in 17-9.. so they just crop the top a tiny bit to make it 18-9 (2-1).. I think it was some aspect ratio V .Storaro tried to introduce too..?

Was looking for one specific image and found more in the folders so here some of them.

Not to make it a travelogue, but...

Shot 2004 on 3mp Nikon Coolpix 995, on my trip to India via Bahrain.

And a natural history shot. Only notable for the fact that it sat still while I put my cellphone about three inches from its head, and fiddled with the exposure.

 

Interesting technical side note: the colour on the wings is clipping the sRGB gamut thanks to the way the anatomy of the butterfly creates colour using interference patterns, as opposed to dyes or pigments. Saturation values in the orange float near 100%.

A futuristic piece of architecture, perhaps on the Mediterranean coast, resplendent in a Tuscan sunrise?

No, it's a cheap, miserable chain bar. In Essex. Bah.

Those balconies might pass muster as a location, though, if you could get rid of the pigeon spikes.

Logan's Run, maybe. Or "Essex Spacebin 2".

OP, my still work composition does not favor portrait or landscape. I try to do what is best for the image. Although, a lot of my work is candid, from the hip shooting and is sometime more dependent on how I can hold the camera and get a shot off quickly and candidly.

 

When I look at a bunch of my photos it seems to be more on the landscape end of things. Maybe 75% or more. I used to shoot a lot of square comps back in the film days when I used a Hasselblad SWC, but don't do that much square work now unless it demands it or is fisheye.

 

When shooting with a circular fisheye it does not matter how I hold the camera...landscape or portrait generally look the same when it is done. In-camera they look different in the review. The circle is smaller in the review when the camera is held in vertical position.

 

Here is a candid fisheye shot...was about 2 feet away from her!

Here is a candid landscape shot...cropped towards the square-ish end of the spectrum.

When I'm making a book I look at the comp mix and count them up. For book format, if more photos are landscape, that is what I generally go with for the book and vice versa is I have mostly portraits..

That last one is intense!

Thanks Alex. Auto-focus came in very handy on that one! I only shot one frame... Then back to shooting the movie across the street :)

Well when I went to collage I fell in love with photography and then got into filmography but after I could do photography but didn't have access to filming equipment.

I used to love taking pictures but it's funny because I used to love taking pictures of objects and landscapes but not people but when I'm filming stuff I usually have people in it. Don't know why.
