Portrait Images And White Space

I've noticed that many of my images that are in portrait orientation have a great deal of white space off to the left. What causes this and what can be done to avoid it, beyond just shooting everything in landscape?

Makes the image bigger I suppose. I don't see it happening on my desktop with my images. I'm using Chrome web browser.

I'm on chrome as well. Your "Vacation Dog Phone Case" does the same thing on my laptop.

Use the zoom tool on Chrome and click on the + key until your image is centered. Or, if using a scroll wheel mouse hold down Ctrl and scroll in.

Not an ideal solution as it will make full resolution previews zoom beyond 100%.

Another option would be to use your AW site as your images appear centered at normal browser zoom level.

I generally do use my AW site when posting links, in emails, and on my business cards. However I would prefer that the main site actually work as it's intended.

Love your work btw Grant

It's a Chrome problem, when I bring up a portrait oriented image in IE it is correct.

Joshua, I just went into your Texas gallery to look at the photo you're concerned about. It looks fine to me. Nothing like what that link above is showing. I also scrolled through Edward's images and clicked on "The Big Lick." It has more white space around it than your photo in question. But it looks fine as well. It's nicely centered and doesn't look strange at all.

So I'm wondering if it has something to do with your computer. It's all very strange indeed. I'm using Chrome as well. Maybe your Chrome has to be updated.

Definitely a local problem. Maybe reboot or return Chrome to original settings.

As far as I know I've never adjusted the settings within Chrome.

I checked a bunch of your images. Looks fine on my Chromebook. The layout is centered for mobile compatibility.

Although...I do get some weird crushing on my "behind the scenes" page. The menus don't line up nicely. The last icon in a column goes on the next line all crushed up.

Me thinks there are some layout issues.

That's an anomaly in the Chrome browser. Check your zoom setting. The layout breaks below 100%, but is fine at all settings of 100% and above.
