Hello,
I hope I posted this in the right section.
I think I've finally taken enough "keepers" to where I'd like to start printing some of the photos I've taken. One of the things I noticed, as I was cropping for 8x10, is that I end up cutting out way more than I'm comfortable cropping. It almost feels like I'm cutting out part of what the makes the picture "cool" or "nice" or whatever the adjective would be depending on the picture.
Should I be taking what I might crop out into consideration when I'm taking the picture? How do some of you deal with this? Should I be trying to print a size different than 8x10? I've noticed that when I do 5x7, that's pretty close to the original, but 5x7 seems to small for some of the things I'd like to print. I'd like to print something around the size of 8x10 without having to crop too much out.
Here is an example of what I mean:
Original:
8x10:
Maybe not the best example, I kind of like the way both look, but I think you guys will understand what I mean.
I think the biggest thing I'd like to get answered is: What is the recommended print size be for aps-c?
