Capture the essence of a subject in the landscape/ horizontal mode, rather than the usual portrait one. Capture a landscape in the vertical/ portrait orientation to enhance your scene or subject.

Even go so far as to say 480 X 640 o4 640 X 480 as the limitations of the pixel sizes. (oooh, maybe too many rules would be bad)

yes! Exactly. I always am enamored of a landscape done up and down for some reason. Oh, and don't forget the single tree. ;~p

Not sure this will meet everyone's idea of landscape, but this reflection has always been a favorite of mine...although it is better perfectly squared off!

Great idea! This challenge would encourage people to let go of their pre-conceived notions of how a portrait/landscape "should" be framed.

This is one of my favorite crops for 'head and shoulder' shots.


I think this is a cool challenge idea.

First, I think it's a great idea. But my preconceived notions are that landscapes are BEST in portrait. I do 70% of them that way anyway ;)



And as a side benefit, more pictures fit "across" your profile page ;)

Too bad they don't make a camera that shoots in portrait mode by default. Or maybe I need to buy the grip.

Great idea--looking forward to it! (Hopefully before fall ends! Winter I have to start hibernating.)

That's why God gave us Hasselblads :-) Shoot square, take your pick...

Here's one~ I forgot I had it hidden for some reason!

Windmills are everywhere in Central Texas.

Damn, he passed me over and I just got a Canon. :(

You could trade it in for a Mamiya so your shutter won't jam like a hasselblad would. :p

I shoot in portrait orientation a lot, too. Since I don't do portraits, that pretty much leaves landscapes and wildlife to shoot that way.
