Grand Rapids Michigan Apple Store around 6:15 AM. I was 12th in line. Ended up with a 64 GB Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus.
 
Azzin is always grumpy though. :)

Sorry if I come across that way, I'm really not! :eek:

I'm as stoked as you guys for my new phone, even though I'm currently on hols in Jamaica! :cool:

My iPhone 6 Plus has been delivered and signed for by my neighbour, so I'm all set for my return on Tuesday! :D
 
Apple Store, Palo Alto, CA

Timmy greeted me when I walked in. First 50 customers got to shake his hand. Super cool move by a CEO, no other CEO in America today does that!

I'm not trying to argue anything.

I just think that portrait pictures taken with a mobile phone don't look right.

Take a step back and use landscape, it's a much nicer picture.

If there's too much in a landscape picture, you can easily crop it out, you can't do the same the other way round.

It's just my personal opinion at the end of the day, but I think portrait looks horrible.

Our eyes don't see things that way, why take pictures that way?
You are very clearly not a photography-minded person. You frame the photo for what is most appropriate, not according to some completely non-existent rule. Go to a photo gallery and look at what you see - photos framed the most fitting way for the content of the shot. What looks more impressive? A very tall building in a very wide picture, or a very tall building in a tall picture? The latter, of course, which is why so many photos of buildings are portrait, not landscape. What about actual portraits? Would they look best with 2/3 of the frame filled with the background? Don't limit yourself or your photos. Shoot the way that is appropriate.

I completely agree with you, the point I think I was trying to make (perhaps badly), is that people don't do as you described, they simply whip out their phones and shoot/ film in portrait, without any though whatsoever about what will look best.
