Open Mike: Square
I really need to work on comments this morning. I m fast getting far behind again. I ve had a couple of less-than-productive days, although I seem to have found time for exercise and for typing practice.
I confess I didn t know that I could set my Fujis to shoot square. I know why it s because when I got them I looked for a 4:3 ratio, which I prefer most, and they don t have that, so I just left them set to 3:2 and forgot about it. They also have a selection for a longer, skinnier aspect ratio 16:9 I think? The camera isn t handy at the moment and I never use that either.
