I hope this falls into the criteria. The Santa Monica Pier.

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

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.

Honestly, it goes back to a vacation I took with a friend who took every picture vertical, this was before the days of digital and when we got back and got the pictures developed we were the headless wonders in every picture he took.
It also doesn't feel right to me, holding the camera that way. I dunno. I guess I'll have to work on that.
sorry for the previous try. here is my new try, i call it Queen of the road.

So it's related to Post Traumatic stress!!!! Perhaps it's time to seek counselling? :pQuote:

Haha. Maybe I'll consult the 3 wisemen. Jim Johnny and Jack... They always seem willing to lend a helping hand.Quote:

Cool stuff! We really get the pink skies in the fall/ winter. :)
haha. that's good. after last nights adventures with Mr. Tanqueray, that's very fitting... had a night to myself for once and just sat with a couple new friends and enjoyed some drinks and a chauffered ride home from my favourite waitress. She rocks.Quote:
