20 THE HASSELBLAD MANUAL
without losing image quality, I feel that almost any subject, at least outdoors, can be effectively
composed as a square, a horizontal, or a vertical. Doing so naturally requires photographing
the subject or scene from a somewhat different camera position, perhaps even at a different
focal length (Figures 2-6 and 2-7).
Figure 2-7 Composing in different formats. While this scene in the Dakotas seems to fi t perfectly
into the horizontal rectangle of the H camera, it could have been effectively composed as a
vertical rectangle or a square by concentrating on the two pumps and silo on the left side.
