Hmmm. In or Out? The brick texture gives a good clue, but otherwise this is a visual discrimination classic.Does this fit your iPad Extreme Mini Bart?

But sometimes horizontal is better 
Our flight home was canceled, so we spent the night in the Airport Marriott. I hate the sodium lamp color, so this was color balanced to 2000K. That makes everything else blue, but I love the effect. Leica Q, 5(?) panels. I had an even wider version, but the visual elements get lost.

OK, here...

I don't think shooting a 16:9 vertical with a normal focal length lens (in this case, the Oly 30mm macro) is as impressive as shooting with a wide angle, but the 30 was the widest lens I had with me at the office today. Resized to 800 pixels on the long side so you may not have to scroll to see the whole image. Image was quickly processed from a JPG, so I'm afraid the white snow at the base of the stone is blown out.
This is one of several vertically placed stones from Alaska at the entrance to BP Anchorage HQ building. This one might be jade, but I'm not a geologist. Had to catch it quick before the sun went down.

I have to admit I almost never shoot in portrait orientation as I cannot display those images very well in gory detail on my landscape 3840x2160 monitors. :facesmack:
At one time I used to have a B&W vertical monitor for reading documents.
However I don't mind cropping an m43 4x3 images to 16x9 when appropriate. :grin:

Just a personal thought about this thread/topic.
Any of us can easily crop or stitch images to whatever aspect ratio we like to in post.
What I found interesting about Bart starting this 16:9 aspect ratio thread was the idea of visualizing it, living within the constraints and dimensions of this format as the photo is being taken, just as a videographer would.
It is sort of like always visualizing and shooting in a square format or to an even great extent, B&W vs color.
So in that spirit, any photos I post here will have been shot natively in 16:9.
I set my Oly EM1 to the 16:9 aspect ratio today and I'll stick with it for a month to see where it leads me.

My last serious interest in film was with an XPan-2. It forced me to look at the world in terms of sequences across the frame or (on a construction site) vertically from floor to floor. Now to visualize a vertical pano is a less intuitive, more thought-out process. You have to decide where to stop each frame for good overlap, make sure nobody is in two frames, etc...

OK, here's a 3:2 vertical (M8 with 35mm, probably a Summicron)
I could make it thinner, but I kinda like the junkyard (actually a bus parking lot) at the base.

C'mon Scott, just put a little effort into it and as Gary suggested try shooting 'native' 16:9 ... :salute:

That's cheating Bart, we all know that the bicycle must be upright and so all you've done is to rotate the image
16:9 sooc
through 90 degrees clockwise from its landscape original :ROTFL:

That was an old one, taken with the M8. The scene has changed, so I'll stop up and try some more on the weekend when things are quiet. The Calatrava spire in white now looms over a piece of new light rail line under construction, plus a zillion busses. It would be interesting to put a nice 15 mm Ultrawide angle on my SL and set the framing either to square or to 16:19. Or the same with an M1 and 7-14.
