[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 123239, member: 9753"] I thought I would create a separate thread regarding whether or not cropping is acceptable, and if it is in what cases. My thoughts are this. I will crop a photo if I physically cannot get to a subject so that they fill the frame, this could be caused by various reasons. [LIST] [*]Subject is flighty and scares easily [*]Getting too close will put you in danger [/LIST]Ok so you ask why take the photo anyway? The reason why I take photos and crop later are so that I can show my friends and others that may never be able to see such things, sure they will not be printable but I am not after prints. I am bringing something to people that they may never get the chance to see in person so as long as the photo is clear and has enough detail then this will achieve that. Now if I was going to take a photo to get printed out then yes I would try and fill the frame with what I want printed. As I do not want wasted pixels and wasted resolution. A perfect example will be Africa, I will be trying to get full frame photos of the animals that I see. But in the event that it is way too far off am I going to take a photo? My answer is yes, as I will be able to crop, now why would I do this? The reason is that this is a trip of a life time and any memory from that trip counts. I can also share it with others, sure it wont be printable but it will still be a memory that I can re-live. [/QUOTE]
