crop or not?

[ceno2000]

i shoot really tightly so if i crop i am bound to loose something

The ONLY time I use cropping is if I want to take a small portion of the image say just the face, etc, and do some photoshop on it. I have maybe 1 or 2 images I have done any cropping on. I really prefer to shoot as I intended it to be seen...

8) maybe if we were to shoot onto 6x6 or 6x17, we wouldnt wish
to crop the special qualities of either of those.

(whether we are painting on canvas or presenting a photo-image,
the perfect-square as a space/support/'window' has a special aesthetic.
)Oo

Only sometimes if its needed.
I generally don't. I prefer to get it in the way I want it with the camera.
Sometimes it is impossible as I've repositioned myself a thousand different ways and I still end up seeing that painful branch or window in the background.
There gets a point where you have to say to yourself,
"deal with it later".
