The Landscape vs Portrait Photo Debate
The overuse of photos in portrait rather than landscape layout has been a bugbear of mine for a while now. What am I on about? See below ...
This photo in portrait mode (whether shot or just cropped that way) might well fill the screen of a phone or tablet that can be rotated into portrait mode ...
But when viewed on a widescreen desktop or laptop screen, will appear like this ...
My recent survey, whilst it only drew 24 responses, showed that the majority look at images on either a desktop or laptop.
In which case, why can't the photographer shoot or crop images to look like this?
This LANDSCAPE image fills the screen on a desktop, laptop and of course on a tablet or phone if rotated. Those that want things bigger can zoom in, no matter the device.
Everyone is happy, n'est ce pas?
So can I make this plea to the powers that be for them to encourage those shooting scenes to submit their stills in landscape format, or at least use fewer portrait shots ?
(and breathe ... )

Re: The Landscape vs Portrait Photo Debate
As a former wedding and portrait photographer it bugs me too but I find it even worse when it comes to video. You see all these news clips taken by cell phones. Don't people realize that people will be watching these on a TV which is in landscape mode? Is it so hard to turn the phone to capture it the correct way?
