Week 24 - Portrait Landscapes

I love the look of landscape pictures taken in portrait format.  They feel more like it felt being there.  Whether it's the sky dominating the picture or the foreground, formatting the picture this way tells the story I was trying to tell far better than I could have achieved taking these photographs in landscape format.  I love the irony of that.  I think if I were taking portraits I would have to take them in landscape format just for the symmetry.
