    I thought I'd throw a black and white portrait into the mix:

    OK? Perhaps someone can explain to a newb what portrait orientation means. Is it a vertical shot vs a horizontal? If it is, well, I guess I'm pooched as I despise taking photo's vertically...

    Yes mate ... portrait orientation means taking the shot vertically so the longer side of the photo is vertical.

    You shouldn't despise it as it can be another tool in your arsenal. You'll notice I rarely used portrait for landscapes though I believe landscapes do look better in landscape most often.
    BUT ... think of a waterfall that drops quite a way. You'd see bugger all detail of the falls if you used landscape so portrait is usually better in that situation. In a city, shooting a building, tower, walkway that stretches from top to bottom may look better in portrait as well.

    So ... don't be 'pooched' ... be challenged ... you have a few days left ... go shoot something and make it work

    Darwin Wigget, who actually was the inspiration for this challenge uses portrait orientation in his landscapes quite often. Take a look here Darwin Wiggett - Photographer - Photography.ca They are jaw droppingly beautiful.

    I took this one a couple of weeks ago without even realizing the assignment this month.

    well you could save it for the night photo challenge as it is a nice photo.

    and why do you hate taking them vertically?
