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.
We had a photographer have a brain fart on a group shot last year where he
filled the frame with his group, not allowing for 4:5 ratio prints.
The post production person on the job was going mental until I introduced
her to the concept of using the transform tool as a way of fitting the sides
in. I figured they wouldn't mind being a bit thinner anyway.
