In my world composing is done rather automatically. I rarely reflect on composing. I have been photographing for decades, so I act out of "instinct", I believe. Later I will crop to get it just right. I guess cropping really means something like harvesting. I harvest my shots later - in the darkroom or in the computer. If I use a screen or a view finder while shooting really doesn't make a big difference to me. Regards

I have found over the years that my better pictures tend to be ones that haven't tormented me, though some of my best pictures have tormented me greatly. And, if you find you are continually cropping to excess, you need to look seriously at adjusting your shooting habits. I realize that Tim is pretty much shooting at the limit of both his equipment and his willingness; I am generalizing somewhat. William Robb -- No virus found in this incoming message.
