In these cases, I always left a nice wide white border at the bottom of
the print. The problem seems to be finding a frame to fit the 35mm format.
I'll be honest though, I've always thought the 35mm format of 2 to 3
proportions sucks. It always seems too longish. The 8 by 10 format is
popular, because it looks better to most people. It's some kind of classic
rectangle shape I think...
Mind you I like custom formats that are far from the normal 8 by 10
ratio. Close to square or long panoramic prints really stand out. They just
cost more in custom frames and mats.
Crop them strange, then tell everyone you planned it that way...
