So this is a bit of a cheat but a useful photo tip. Below is another photo of the Pont Alexander III at dusk – very similar to yesterday's only in a portrait rather than landscape format.
Unless you're still shooting film, there's virtually no cost to capturing an image in both landscape and portrait formats if the situation allows – might be tricky in a fast moving dynamic situation like sports or wildlife.
By capturing in both orientations you have more flexibility in how to present your work.
Clearly more photography is being presented on screens these days and most of those screens are wider than they are tall which is why, as photographers, we have to face up to the challenge to try to capture vertical objects, such as the Eiffel Tower, in a landscape format.
I just believe that there will continue to be a market for the portrait orientation, even in a screen based world. I'm seeing more screens being rotated 90 degrees for more height that width, not only in the office so you can read a scan of a paper document without scrolling, but also in public spaces for signs such as airport signs or convention center signs.
vertical screens for image displays will not be far behind.
