These are some of my favourite vertical shots taken during Picture Summer (other than those featuring my girls' faces). Light plays quite a role in all of them. I'm astounded by the sun flare in the middle one!
I didn't post these earlier because they're vertical. I know that sounds kind of silly, but during a series of posts like those from Picture Summer, I am much too particular to mix vertical and horizontal photos in one post -- especially since I know I'll be uploading everything to Blurb for printing in book form, and the page layouts I use don't accommodate both orientations. A vertical photo would really mess things up for me!
P.S. Here's another one from July. :)
