I was looking through some of my older Hasselblad 907x/CFVII 50c photos and thought a couple of them when cropped made intriguing XPan format pictures, that is photos with a 2.7:1 aspect ratio. (XPans shoot 35mm film with a 65x24mm gate.)

So I made three of them and posted them up...

Birthday Card :: https://flic.kr/p/2sAUqz3
Flower Opening :: https://flic.kr/p/2sB1bV3
Leaves & Twigs :: https://flic.kr/p/2sB1r6P

Not sure if any of these constitute "great art", but I like the feel of the ultrawide format ratio. Some vertical compositions might be fun too.

Something to think about and experiment with... :D

enjoy, G

No matter where you go, there you are.
