D. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Daniel Ridings Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 1:49 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Cropping I'm one of those who (probably out of laziness in my case) don't crop much. Funny ... when it counts (when I'm delivering a shot to someone paying) I do. But hardly ever (well never) in my PaWs. BD sent me a nice crop of the water picture. I'm going to have to take cropping seriously. BD's crop: http://folk.uio.no/danielr/images/v34-0005-51349crop.jpg The original: http://www.leica-gallery.net/dlridings/image-51349.html The crop is better. I'm posting this as an example of constructive criticism this group is capable of. Sometimes that gets questioned. Despite all our off topic rants, there are some real pros here. The original was taken with a 35mm lens. If I had used the 50, it would have almost equalled the crop. My non-resolution ambition to get to know the 50 better this year in my PAWs seems like a good idea. Best, Daniel - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
