Oh look: it works, in many shots.
This is an example I took a while ago:

(click foto to see larger)
Used a tele zoom. But here I wanted to emphasize the "tunnel" effect of the view.
It was taken from the same spot as this one:
http://wizofoz2k.deviantart.com/art/...apart-72779304
a kind of "slot" between trees.
So I went for portrait and it sort of worked fine.

When I want "big sky" stuff, invariably I end up with landscape: it's then so
much easier to make the clouds and the view look more "together" without
chopping off one or the other.

But like I said: some shots, portrait works fine.
