Most photographers consistently shoot horizontal pictures primarily because it's easier to hold the camera in this orientation. But vertical compositions are just as valid. Don't forget to think in terms of vertical framing. In marketing, vertical pictures are used for magazine covers and full page ads (which sell for higher amounts than less-than-full-page uses), and if you are giving a slide show vertical pictures add variety to the presentation. I composed this jaguar both vertically and horizontally, and I like both versions. They give a different feel to scene, and I'm glad I had the presence of mind to take both types of compositions.
