The 'crop it...Thanks for the mention and link!<br /><br />The 'crop it in the viewfinder' is still good practice I think, for getting your eye in and being aware of composition all the time. But we are so lucky these days to be able to crop and adjust freely and instantly, why not take advantage? Often only one part of an otherwise indifferent photo can yield a good picture if it's snipped out, and with all those largely unnecessary megapixels we have thrust upon us, you can afford to lose plenty. Sometimes too, with elusive subjects, it's good to know you can get your shot and use the cropping tool as a kind of retroactive zoom.<br /><br />And of course, there's the potiential for attractive different shapes and formats, as you've discovered here. These are lovely photos!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-50096664138196821102010-02-15T01:28:02.072+00:002010-02-15T01:28:02.072+00:00Cropping can make for interesting perspectives and...Cropping can make for interesting perspectives and I love to experiment with that too.
