Narrow vision... A smartphone issue (as if)
Jun 28, 2023 05:52:56 #
Well, narrow vision is a thing we suffer all our lives by not having enough experience or good sense to change the perspective when confronted with something...
What the heck this has to do with photography and smartphone?
Simple: I am tired of seeing folks using their phone vertically regardless of subject. I know the camera lenses are on top but come on, open the field, use horizontal for god's sake, you will see your (err...) subjects better.
Ease of use, availability, does not justify sloppiness. A small twist of a wrist and that's it! There! A brand new worldwide is in front of your... camera.
Anyway, another rant...

Good advice for the SmartPhone section.

When my wife hands me her phone to take a shot, I usually turn it sideways. She just finds it more comfortable to hold it vertical, never gives a thought to composition.

OK, as long as they don't walk in front of me, holding my camera correctly, to take their shot.
I don't care so much about their poor form as I do about their being rude.
Their being rude does Not make me . . .

It's called portrait orientation.
But actually, it's the result of the phone camera design. It's awkward using the phone in landscape orientation, especially trying to use it with one hand.

Yes, that is annoying. I think it's easier, and people are used to operating their phones in the vertical position.

I totally agree. There’s nothing more annoying than vertical video presented on a horizontal screen as you see so often from amateur news clips. I find myself yelling at the TV every time.

Me, too; mine, too. She loves to take pictures of her flowers and I'm constantly asking her, "Now, what's in the background? Do you want the background softened? How many flowers do you want in the picture? etc., etc."

I agree with you. And often use my smartphone camera in landscape position. I also have the camera set to 3:4 ratio and not the crazy 16:9 so it is closer to the 3:2 or 4:5 of my "real" cameras.

On the other hand, I find that users of "real" cameras are, in general, too attached to landscape-oriented photographs. They are almost equally resistant to using portrait orientation or (horror of horrors) square format.
