Poor side-viewing image quality of an LCD monitor rotated into portrait orientation Good side-viewing image quality of a typical landscape LCD. Rotation of LCD monitors is simpler than for bulkier displays since the mass of the panel is low, the heat generated is low, and there are no magnetic effects to be concerned about.
Landscape photography (often shortened to landscape photos) shows the spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on human-made features or disturbances of landscapes.
Note: Prefer images in landscape orientation. If you must use one in portrait orientation, avoid very skinny ones. If you must choose a skinny image, then please specify the height as well (e.g., 120x120), but note that if you do so, there will be a gap between left or right edge of the image (depending on the what side of the container the template appears) and the edge of the section.
The MediaWiki software as of 5 October 2011 checks image metadata such as EXIF and automatically rotates the image when it is uploaded. The file page may show the upright image, but thumbnails may be rotated. At the bottom of the file page there is a Metadata section— click on "Show extended details" to see the orientation.
This is useful for displaying images in "portrait" orientation, since such tall and narrow images tend to look too large when scaled to the same width as "landscape" oriented images. The upright option scales larger or smaller in step with user screen resolution.

It focuses on images of the natural world (such as rivers, mountains, deserts, and forests) [2] as well as man-made structures (such as city skylines). However, that is rarer and separated from nature photography. As such, landscape photography is an adjacent rather than a sub-category of nature photography. Landscape photograph circa. 1873–83
