Extra tip: Want to mix it up a bit? Hold the camera at a slanted a bit for a completely different perspective.

  1. And, if you are using a point and shoot, and using flash, when you switch orientation, be sure the flash is on the top.

    Having vertically-oriented shutter controls makes it a lot easier to do portrait-orientation photos. I find that the real value in a battery grip for the mid-range DSLRs isn't the extra batter capacity, it's the vertical shutter controls.
