You can do whatever you like. It’s just my opinion. I see very very few landscapes shot in portrait orientation that aren’t lacking in composition and or framing.
Some of Ansel Adams’ work is an obvious exception. But none of us are Ansel Adams…
Landscapes that are not level and or shot in portrait orientation drive me bonkers.
Portraits and landscapes! Is it fixed f4? Bc those are awesome!
Depends. I shoot a ton of street and landscape. Maybe 1-2% street. But my landscapes are carefully planned and executed so I get like 20%. The thing is that, a lot of the time at least with me, I get keepers that may not be exactly what I intended when I shot it but, with a little cropage and postprocess magic turns into a keeper. When I cull I have definite keepers, maybes and nopes. I may get an extra few percent from the maybes later on…
When I first started out on film we had to be more deliberate with our shots so that made me stop and think and learn to compose and frame on the first try. I did that for ten years before going digital. Also a lot of photography is VERY subjective. Some people will hate everything you do. Others will love it all. Still others will love shots you think are sub par or absolute shit.
Yes. Also, be careful because having your picture taken can lead to your soul being stolen.
