…and there’s a pond we often walk around.

Crunching about in the woods this last week with a crisp carpet of fallen leaves beneath my feet I was remembering how much I use to enjoy playing in the leaves on fall days as a child — wonderful play. I’ve noticed I wasn’t the only one enjoying the fall woods and it’s fallen leaves, as attest by the beautiful photos of Mark Graph.

In past years my eyes and brain have accepted a 3:2 aspect ratio for photos is “normal” – whatever that means. But here of late, shooting with my Canon S90 and now my Olympus E-M5, I’ve been shooting at a 4:3 aspect, often composing with a 3:2 finished product in mind, so as to use all of the smaller sensor — then cropping the images to 3:2 during post-processing.
