Das sehr berühmte Arnold Newman Foto vom Stravinsky am Klavier zeigt wie wichtig "cropping" ist. Das hast du wieder sehr gut hergestellt--danke!

Thanks, Christian. Just to be clear, I think you are saying that the aspect ratio should be custom for each photograph, and not necessarily one of the predetermined ones offered by a cropping tool. Correct? I had been very much of the mindset that a crop should be custom for each photograph, but then began to think predetermined or established aspect ratios became that way because they had been found to be more aesthetically pleasing and have tried using them more. This aesthetically pleasing basis is not just the aspect ratio of camera film or sensor or commercially available frames. I have even thought to look at the aspect ratio great painters used, but have done nothing. Without knowing anything about how painters choose their blank canvases, with previsuzlization do or did they say, I need a 4x5 or 5x7 or x by y? I don't know. I think I am concluding custom is best unless someone can make a case that standard aspect ratios have an aesthetic basis.

Cropping plays such an important role Christian as you explained well. You showed some great examples. I seem to always be cropping 16:9 lately, maybe I will try something different. Incredible the difference it can make to a composition. Thanks for sharing the video buddy 👍🙏

Thank you friend. Recently got a Sony body for the first time ( A6400). After long years with canon. Thanks for the free wallpapers. I have a question can you give some decent quality variable ND brands. ? I can’t buy super expensive ones though. Some one told K&F concept is good. I donno.

I like the HB Pan look or 6x6 squares and 6x9 look but I don't have a camera with High Mpix to make them useful. Therefore I’m saving to a 45 Mix D850 and later to a Fuji GFX100S if there is not a Nikon 55Mpix camera released in the future. I like to create the picture in the camera not in the computer. I can crop in the computer to get a clean image. Also you need to take into account the print. I need to learn to print. My results when using a printer service is saturated colours so I need to try a BW print, I have an Old Eiso Monitor that is calibrated..
