Ming Thein is a commercial photographer based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I first discovered his blog a month or two ago
His is one of only a handful of blogs to which I subscribe
His post yesterday prompted me to think -
- “I wish I had written that” and
- “Great post for tomorrow”
Enjoy Ming Thein and his wonderful article
Aspect ratios and compositional theory

An update 2 hours after this blog was posted -
So far 7 of every 10 readers followed the link to the heart of this post
30% (the rest) weren’t interested
Only 2-3 readers follow ordinary links (those that aren’t the heart of my posts)
So this is an improvement – I guess
For the uninterested 30% -
You don’t know what you missed
