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 (http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/showthread.php?97449-On-which-device-do-you-MOSTLY-look-at-porn-STILLS&highlight=device), 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?
918717
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 ... :))
