Hi Jim, A solid piece of advice for those who wish to shoot it as they see it and then leave distracting elements in the frame actually spoiling their efforts. This type of "no cropping" sure wouldn't work for shooting the Olympics or many other sports events because the photo positions don't afford the ideal location and one must learn to live or die with cropping . Thanks for a great description, if I may, could I use it or parts of it for a photography school lecture presentation next month?
