[QUOTE="Johnathan Aulabaugh, post: 123269, member: 7698"] Some unique thoughts here. I prefer not to crop. I shoot wildlife primarily with some nature and landscapes thrown in. I shoot about 90% of the time with the thought of printing in mind so for me cropping is a big no no, although to be fair if you look at it from Daves perspective, it is all a crop. Photography can be the purist form of a lie that there is. As photographers we can often skew the truth of whats happening or glamorize it to tell the story we want. Now for me, I try to get it all in camera before I edit. If I cant get it in the frame like I want then I am likely not going to take the picture. As I said in another thread, I am not trying to change the way anyone shoots. how you choose to do your photography is your choice. Muzza said it well but in his number 2 spot I would choose to say; if it puts the animal in danger. I probably just wouldn't take the shot accept as maybe a memory for myself. I have several photographers that I follow pretty regularly. Doug Gardner, Moose Peterson, Ratcliff, Jarvis, and several others. To me it is not about FX/DX but about the frame itself.
