Thankyou for your comments: Boris: cropping too tight is something that I am struggling to overcome as I am learing to shoot (I over-crop in-camera). I think that my sub-consious sees the tiny image in the tiny view finder and thinks that I need to be closer in order for the subject to be clearly seen.... or something equally silly.
Rick: I took quite a few shots (this being the first) because I kept getting annoyed that the flames would not 'be the same', and in the end I chose this one for teh very reason that you mentioned. Godfrey: It is interesting that you would say that..... all my thumbnails are cropped square, and just last night one of my friends (not on the list) told me he thought several of my pictures made more interesting compositions as the square thumbnails. When I went back to look at them that way, this picture was the first one to jump out at me as wanting to be square. Maybe tonight I will recrop and repost...... thanks again for your input Russell On 9/24/06, Russell Kerstetter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Had this candle burning and thought I'd take a picture. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
