Sometime amount the era I began to use 35mm cameras, I developed a
framing habit so as not to lose any precious resolution when the images
were enlarged. I unconsciously do it now and almost never crop an image
unless it's to accommodate "perfect portrait" size - the 2/3rds thing.

I double booked this weekend and had to engage a contract Photographer
for the 'other' shoot. I've just been going through his work ready to
start printing and discovered a lot of his shots need cropping. Nothing
wrong with his photography, just the fact he leaves lots of room in the
image.

How many other people make cropping a normal event when editing? Just
curious.


Always edit in the viwfinder- as far as possible.
Yet, being a Pentax user since the 60's, all my
perfectly-framed-in-the-viewfinder shots need cropping anyway.

....and I can't bring myself to allow for the Pentax viewfinder, and risk
losing a vital element.

Nowadays, I guess I use about 4.5 of my 6 Mpix.
