I spent four days camping out in the remote Algerian Sahara - just me and a local guide. I took a million photos but this was one of my favourites. Freezing cold at night, but free of all light pollution the sky was breathtakingly beautiful.

Modern comforts and advancements aside, does anyone else ever become sad thinking about how beautiful the earth must have been in the past?

Well, I was shooting for social media and vertical posts tend to look better on mobile. But I took a landscape one too.

6 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Vertical photos is a whoooole different ballgame than vertical video. (although exacerbated in modern times by being 9:16 instead of 2:3)

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've seen so many damn portrait pictures on Reddit and it's stupid as hell.

Would it make you happier if it was taken in/cropped to 2:3 instead? Anyway, here:

Photos and videos should be taken horizontally unless there is an artistic reason to do otherwise. I would argue this is the latter.

6 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

OK, I'm not completely against portrait mode, but literally 75% of pictures posted are such. At that point, it's not an artistic decision, >

it's either ignorance or laziness.

In my experience of looking at pro-photographers, there's DEFINITE variety. But yes, normal ppl don't care/know/think when snapping w phone.

They walk without rhythm so not to attract the worm, and they travel single file to hide their numbers.
