XPan Crop Experiments

I like to get out at least once a month for a slow walk around town on a sunny afternoon to:
A) Shoot trolleys, and
B) Shoot whatever else catches my interest.
My most recent walk had a secondary goal, though: shooting things specifically with the intent of cropping to an XPan aspect ratio of 2.7:1 (or 65:24). It’s pretty amazing the kind of impact a heavy crop can have on an otherwise pretty average image—definitely something I’m looking forward to experimenting with more in the future.
