Square September 1 by olivetreeann

Square September 1

Richard Sayer is hosting a month long challenge which features square formatting. We are supposed to set our cameras to 1:1 for this but I haven't had time to see if any one of my cameras will do this. It is possible to resize photos to this format as well, but a long distance call from a good friend stole my "free time" away from that endeavor today. Tomorrow doesn't look any more promising so for the time being I'll take photos and crop them into a square. I hope that's ok Richard!!

This my granddaughter Lucy. She wanted to come along with Sam and I when we went for a photo walk before Abby and Alex's wedding. She was in a totally cute mode, "Grammy, take a picture of me next to the fountain!" "Grammy take a picture of me on the steps!" "Grammy, take a picture of me with this yellow flower!" I won't show you all of them (because you know grandmothers LOVE pictures of their grandchildren!) but this had to be a favorite. She loves those sunglasses and I always tell her she looks like a movie star when she wears them!
So cute. Took me forever to find the setting on my new camera to change it to a square picture!

Lucy is adorable, love that sunflower & square crop......I have no idea I could do that with the camera, I´ve always just cropped pics to fit into my needs

She is so very cute and the choice of that yellow flower to accompany her was very appropriate. Splendid capture.

@homeschoolmom Thank you Lisa! I'll be manning our photo club booth at a local festival this week-end. Lots of time to find that setting!

@elatedpixie Thank you Phylm-S! I didn't notice them until the crop brought her in tighter to the picture.
@dibzgreasley Thanks Debs! The full-size version looks good too but I think I like this even better.
@susale Thanks Suse! I will have to explore the camera this weekend and see if I can find it. I have always cropped to suit my needs too.
