I've always enjoyed this image as it reflects how I feel at this NP out in the desert. The landscape is timeless.

Ahh, someone else who shoots landscapes in portrait orientation. For some reason, I find it a natural thing to do.

That’s a beautiful image - I really like the separation between the cacti and the background mountains.

Yes, me too... Like 90% of the cases or so.

Interesting. Robert Adams does it often too, so I guess we're in good company

Commercial landscape photographers would take vertical and horizontal versions of each scene as a standard practice in case a magazine wants the shot for the magazine cover.

I do this fairly frequently...maybe 50% of the time

Very interesting, I did not know this. Thank you for sharing this bit of info.

I tend to do that too, just to have both so I can decide which I like better. It's often the shot in portrait orientation.

It seems that I prefer the portrait orientation when using wide lenses. It's not always easy to compose something nice when there's not much interesting, or nice left and right. It simply doesn't always work. Adding a bit more sky on the other hand can be very beneficial, especially when there are nice clouds. This tendency is reduced when using the 70-200 lens. I can make tight compositions and isolate the things I want easily and shoot more in landscape orientation. And all these may be influenced by the 2:3 ratio of 135 film, which I primarily use. It's a bit too wide sometimes.

OR shoot square

I do that too. But sometimes it's nice to travel light with a small 35mm camera (and no tripod).

So what is needed is Nikon AF SLRs that shoot 24mm x 24mm frames.

Cropping often doesn't work. If the framing isn't right in the camera, there may not be the right angle to change it by cropping.

Beautiful photograph.

The only thing that could possibly improve it would be a canine's head peeking out from behind the door frame.

Beautiful and emotive.

I'd like to understand the perspective of the image: could you advise what focal length, and any recollection you may have as to the approximate aperture, were used for the photograph.

Good photographers crop in the view finder before taking the photograph. Any good slide shooter knows that.
