Re: Cropping

The other frustrating thing I've found about butterflies is that when you are trying to identify them if you have the underside of their wings, all the pictures in the books that you think might be the right kind are showing the tops of the wings, and vice versa. And that's not even taking into account the butterfly species where the male & female are different! It wouldn't be a big deal if not for my anal retentive need to put the names and taxonomy with my pictures...

And yes, butterflies are definitely digital photography material! I'm just so used to trying to crop in camera that I forget that I can just as easily leave a little extra space and use photoshop to trim the edges. When I'm shooting at the zoo, it could be a perfect picture of the critter and I won't be happy with it if there is a fence showing so I tend to crop in because of that too. Too many photo teachers requiring full frame prints makes it tough to purposely leave stuff I don't want!

I did want the giraffe abstract, just not so much that it was unidentifiable. (Not that it could be anything else with that pattern!)


I am certainly not deluded into think that my style is the One True style.
Well, duh! My style is the One True style! ;)
