SHOOT WIDE — I’ve always prided myself on being a decent photographer, but on occasion I’ve gotten home and noticed that I didn’t compose a photo as needed, in effect losing the primary point of interest in the image. The cure for this goof-up is fairly simple; shoot everything wider than you think you want it. With the advent of digital photography and a plethora of software to manipulate images, you can easily crop the image on your PC when you get home. It’s a lot better to waste a bit of the image area than to lose the shot you really wanted. If you’re still shooting with film, your lab can do the same thing for you, usually after having you mark the desired area on a proof photo.
