I've always shot in portrait mode and never gave much thought to landscape. Maybe I'm missing something?
@dalgeri - So Davinia, one thing does occur after all this talk...so really it depends on the apps you use and the subject you're shooting and what feels most comfortable I guess.
Well, frankly my dear (I'm watching Gone With The Wind as I type) I'm not sure how I got the tag of hipsta whore, I just assumed the moderators just picked random descriptions for everyone. Anyway funnily enough I always shoot hipsta in landscape, never even considered portrait for it, but I might give it a try, who knows what weird and wonderful shots I might get.@dalgeri - So Davinia, one thing does occur after all this talk...
Having suggested you always shoot in Portrait, plus being the self-confessed and renowned HipstaWhore that you say you are...
Don't you get some weird results from HipstaWhoring in Portrait...
@dalgeri - As if the Moderators would be so random Davinia...Well, frankly my dear (I'm watching Gone With The Wind as I type) I'm not sure how I got the tag of hipsta whore, I just assumed the moderators just picked random descriptions for everyone.

Apart from Oggl which I never used anyway and now deleted, I wasn't aware that one had an option to click between the 2. Am I missing something fundamental here? Eeeek
Actually, odd as it may feel, the Home button could also be at the Top in your Portrait explanation...When you shoot with your phone vertically (home button at bottom) that's (sorry, had to correct this!) portrait.

That's the pedant coming out me...
But good enough way to explain the differences...
However, if you take a Pano iMage you do end up with a Landscape iMage but shot in, using your definition, Portrait...
Yes that's what i thought. I tend to prefer horizontal as well. Vertical is often too constraining unless doing close ups. In Hipsta I tend to mostly do landscapeWhen you shoot with your phone vertically (home button at bottom) that's (sorry, had to correct this!) portrait. When you turn your phone sideways, and the home button is either to the left or right, that's "landscape." And that's all the difference there is. Portrait accenuates the vertical "plum line," landsape accenuates the "horizon line."
