I had assumed that No Cropping Zone was an indication that you wouldn't crop to get extra magnification for your macro efforts. Your actual reason didn't occur to me at all, although I understand the concept and am not surprised that you strive towards it.<br /><br />Good thing I read this one.<br /><br />Not that it really matters but I wonder if you see the recent comments in these older posts? <br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />PeterPvRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147729790374795081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997165993262560791.post-84147976803450972532009-12-18T20:09:03.732-08:002009-12-18T20:09:03.732-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.PvRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147729790374795081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997165993262560791.post-19598956040020931572007-06-01T14:46:00.000-07:002007-06-01T14:46:00.000-07:00Thanks Glenn!For me it's just a way to keep from g...Thanks Glenn!<BR/><BR/>For me it's just a way to keep from getting lazy, so that I keep looking for new compositions.Dalantechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491343159917303555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997165993262560791.post-91696716190273095762007-05-31T11:16:00.000-07:002007-05-31T11:16:00.000-07:00I've been experimenting with the "no crop" mode of...I've been experimenting with the "no crop" mode off and on for the last couple months. The bottom line is I don't find a 3:2 aspect ratio aesthetically pleasing for most images. However, I have found that I can mentally partition the viewfinder (or use the viewfinder grid lines) to frame the subject with a more pleasing aspect ratio, and then crop the image later to match that visualization. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for reminding me that composing prior to shooting is really the way to go.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to more of your great macros!<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997165993262560791.post-55141483388221347382007-03-26T22:10:00.000-07:002007-03-26T22:10:00.000-07:00Thanks Mike!I think working with a customer is one...Thanks Mike!<BR/><BR/>I think working with a customer is one of the exceptions -if they want it, and you want a pay check, well... ;)Dalantechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491343159917303555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997165993262560791.post-42070894669547005272007-03-26T16:33:00.000-07:002007-03-26T16:33:00.000-07:00Okay, ...

I'll jump! :)<BR/><BR/>First, I always try to get what I want from the start, ... full frame and no cropping.<BR/>It is a challenge to get it right from the start.<BR/>Lately though, and especially when working with art buyers and designers, ... cropping comes up often. "Very often!"<BR/>- Must be this size.<BR/>- Must crop out the top that shows about 5% blue sky.<BR/>- Eliminate that leaf.<BR/>- They want a more "vertical pano" feel to it that will fit on that wall right between those two doors.<BR/>- The mural will be 10ft high, and 22ft long.<BR/>- Well, ... can you crop it Mike?<BR/><BR/>Well lately, ... I have been cropping at the drop of a hat! LoL!<BR/>And of course, if I have simply screwed up and can fix it with a crop, ... and it might sell, ... well, .....<BR/><BR/>I agree with you though John.<BR/>Do everything you can to get it right the first time.<BR/>Crop only when absolutely necessary.<BR/><BR/>Good to see you have a place where one can come in here and holler a bit.<BR/>Will be back!!MBrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799092599898778439noreply@blogger.com
