When doing a paid shoot, going a little wider than what you *expect*
to need is usually better: You have to have room to crop off the ends
when a customer wants an 8 x 10 or 11 x 14 print -- and if your frame
everything tightly into the 2:3 ratio of most SLR's you won't be able
to supply prints in these "squarer" print formats without losing
things on the long ends of the frame.
When I worked at the photo store we had a number of "professional"
photographers who couldn't seem to grasp this concept.

I've heard of press photographers who had focusing screens made that
showed them where the "National Geographic", "Time" or "Newsweek" logos
would go, so they could be sure to make room. :)

We had one customer who took a group shot (20-30 people) with people
spread out all the way to the ends of the frame. One of them wanted an
11 x 14 print and this guy just couldn't understand why we couldn't make
one without either cropping people off the sides or leaving blank white
areas at the top and bottom. Unbelievable.
