I have recently noticed that when I am photographing, my camera instinctively turns to a vertical position. I am not sure why this subconscious act is. Perhaps when shooting landscapes it allows large amounts of foreground and background or perhaps the camera feels more comfortable in my hand in this way, however I do this a lot. As a portrait photographer, you would think this is a good trait to have, however the reality is, modern portraiture is not necessarily good in a vertical format. Most people have a horizontal space on their wall they want to fill, so trying to correct my vertical inclinations on a daily basis is sometimes difficult.

Anyway, here are a few vertical landscapes from my honeymoon in Mauritius a week ago.
