MPC #96 - Portrait, as pertains to orientation Dec 14 - Dec 28

[systemoverblow'd]

Happy feeling achieved.

This is not about taking portraits, but those are A-OK. This is about taking images in portrait orientation, ie. vertical.

This is completely open to content. This is strictly about capturing any scene you want in a vertical format. I came to think of this due to a recent webinar given by our very own Adam Barker. He stressed taking shots of every location in both landscape and portrait mode. Testing yourself to see something differently. I very rarely shoot in portrait mode and it really made me think. So if you do a lot, this is right up your alley. If you don't, maybe this will be a good learning experience for you and us all.

I challenge you to maybe shoot something vertically that you would normally think of shooting in landscape, but that is not a necessity. This is accessible to everyone from phone shooters to professional DSLR shooters.

RULES:
1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.
2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
3. The contest moderator will choose 5 photos to be voted on.
4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.

HAPPY CLICKING!

1- cool thing about this is that my smaller lens is buggered so i had to use the 50-200, which required that i go portrait to get the scene, and then the nacho hopped in at the top of the frame. come home to find portrait is the mpc

System, congrats on the win. Competion looks strong in the new MPC.

[BigDaddy]

VT-F is right, strong competition.... nice stuff!

Not really a serious contender, but worth noting. My next door neighbor, Ivan Massar, photojournalist, standing front of his favorite print from Paris in 1949, at a show this weekend. Very interesting person and a fascinating photographic career:

Anyhow, these guys were screaming; shoot me in portrait...
