How Many Squares? *

Seattle, WA

Count squares on all the sides,
but ignore anything internal to the cube.

HINT: The total number of squares is greater
than the number in the title of this Challenge.

30s f/25.0 at 85.0mm iso100 with Flash full exif

Many thanks to all for the comments. This shot was tricky to set up, but the post-processing was simple: just a little sharpening, the required square-shaped crop, and cloning away the tiny line from which the cube was suspended. The surrounding blackness was not created artificially in PP, but rather is a legitimate photographic image of “dark.” Regards to all. Charlie

Unless I've missed something (I don't think so), and given what I think the intent of the challenge is, 90 (see dpreview for my explanation). -- Victor

I like the colours and the nice, even, lighting on all the sides. (And it is too early in the morning for me to start couting squares or parallelograms, or whatever...) :-) Regards ~jnconradie

I just thought I’d add a challenging feature to this Challenge. But let’s keep it simple. Ignore the photo frame, and consider the cube as if it were in your hand, and imagine viewing each side separately, and straight on. How many squares would you see? p.s. Thanks for the comment and for the compliment. This one was quite a challenge to set up.

Technically... there is only one square (that being the overall image). All of the rest of the geometric shapes are really parallelograms because of the angle of the cube in the image... P.S. Really nice image..!!!
