Since I shoot birds a lot and am often cropping severely, I have no consistent pattern. But there is a certain tendency to do bird cropping as a square. With landscapes on the other hand, a cinerama aspect ratio sometimes makes sense, though of course then people might just think it's a stitched pano.

Hello Paul. I often take the camera with only one prime lens when travelling light, so it is not unusual to take 3 or 4 shots of a wide scene, then make a 3:2, 16:9, or wider composite image.

I could probably benefit from doing that more often myself.
