I am in the "too much black" camp. I think that a square or vertical crop would be much more powerful. The idea of the frame is a good one, as is the scene within the frame,  but as it stand now ...

^^^^^^^^ THIS!!!! Wiser words have rarely been written. Regards,

Such standardization is not likely to work the way you envision... i.e. seamlessly. The reason is differences in processing algorithms between processing programs. For example if you set the ...

This is true only for works on canvas and boards. Works on paper are often matted and framed with glazing similar to the way photographs are. The original poster did not say what type of paintings ...

Taking a very quick look at the site you refer to, it looks like a place that you send a digital file to, they make a print, mat and frame it and ship it to you. If you want them to frame a ...

I agree that the heads of the couple in the background are distracting and are more so in the cropped version than the original version. However, I think that the ethos of street photography is in ...

Here are a few (too many?!?) comments from some one who has been making photographs for a bit more than fifty years. For the first thirty-five or so of those years (until digital came along) I ...

I think that this crop works just fine. It really concentrates the viewer on what motivated you to make the exposure in the first place. That is almost always a good thing. As I thought about ...

YUP!!! Buyer beware.

Read the text on that webpage you posted carefully... "for color as well as black and white films ." (The emphasis is mine.) As other respondents have said, UV filers have no optical use with ...

There is no way that I know of to test the printer without a full set of cartridges. Thus, given the unknowns, the cost of a set of new cartridges and the age of the printer, I would just buy a new ...

I fully understand about using the 'standard' aspect ratios. I think that you could stick with the original 2:3 ratio and crop while keeping the left and the bottom of the frame as they are. You ...

That is my experience as well... I like the analogy, too!!!  it would need to be a very small Pelican Case to work. Certainly too small for my dSLR and 300 mm f/4. As for tethering it to the ...

At least in the summer, I photograph wildlife from a kayak fairly regularly. My experience in this regard is flat water (lakes, ponds and slow moving rivers) only. I have been doing this for more ...

This is a really great street photo. The contrast of the one subject with a direct (and seemingly none-to-pleased expression) gaze into the lens with the other subjects one of whom is smiling and ...

An interesting image that, in my view can be strengthened with a small amount of cropping. There is a small diagonal element in the lower right corner that could be eliminated with a crop. ...

Both of these are interesting photographs that could, in my view, be strengthened with a bit of cropping. In both cases, there are out of focus elements in the foreground. Thus cropping both frames ...

No glue needed. Most Arca-Swiss compatible clamps (see https://www.amazon.com/s?k=arca+swiss+clamp) come with a threaded hole for a 3/8" screw (the standard size for mounting a head to tripod legs). ...

Seem rather expensive to me for what is essentially a beanbag. A regular beanbag, (e.g. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1154648-REG/lenscoat_lclsbk_lenssack_black.html) costs about on tenth ...

Just get an Arca-Swiss compatible clamp ,an 3/8" to 1/4" bushing and some blue Loctite. Then mount your existing Manfrotto plate to the new clamp.
