It is also _very_ hard to do. That guy had a magic finger.
How to see the approach of a composition is beyond me.
I have found that motor drives don't help; that revelation
didn't surprise me much. Using a motor drive is like using

Hi, Tom
I don't think we disagree on anything here.
I know you were being somewhat tongue in cheek in your earlier post. I think
the example I gave is the exception that proves the rule.
I too admire him greatly.

Hey!
The crusty old guy (HCB) is one of my heroes. If you had seen my photos from
the old days you would have had no doubt of his influence on me. I do, I

I too, try as much as possible to "crop in the viewfinder". The more neg
you can use to make a print, the better.
That being said, sometimes it can't be helped. The odd time, there's
just no way I can move around to get that nasty light pole or power lines
out of the viewfinder, so I s

Graywolf's comments made me think about this issue.
If the reason why people feel that 6x6 format is a "waste of space" due to
