Compose in the camera, or in the darkroom? Most of my time doing photography, when I had access to a darkroom, my only glass was a 58/1.4 and a 2x tele converter. As a result I did a lot of "zooming", recropping and recomposing in the darkroom, and I've noticed that those habits carry forward a lot today. I'm very comfortable shooting with a prime, or if I have a zoom, shooting a bit wider than optimal, and doing my final recomposition in post processing.
I'm curious if other people who had a limited choice of focal lengths as they learned photography share this trait. On the contrary, I'd guess that people who learned photography either shooting slides, or without access to a darkroom (or post processing software) are a lot more finicky about composing in the camera. Or it could be that I'm just lazy when I know that if I blow it I can just fix it later. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
