Hope it still counts as my PAW ;>D :) cropping is something that I used to hate. I always wanted to have the pure shot as I saw it. The fact is that what you saw at that time might have been good but if you crop that 'good' it can make something better and more pleasing to look at. With expeirience we'll crop more with the viewfinder... Now the trick is to crop your shots at a 8x12 ratio & straighten the composition (my horizons are always off) then show it to people....and tell them that it's shot full frame ;) - -- John Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
