I've been reading a bit online and there seems to be a bit of a divide here.
Personally I've never liked cropping as I'm a bit of an OCD freak and I like my photos to all be the same size (pixel wise)
however I shot a gunnery display and siege at Arundel Castle this weekend with a 24-70 f2.8L and it simply didn't have the reach from where so I've cropped. I was able to get a little more creative than just cropping to the centre, including switching landscape to portrait and vice versa.
Whilst I understand the "no croppers" in that you should get it right when you take it so does that mean cropping should only be a corrective tool and not an artistic tool?
EDIT: Since working with Lightroom and the ability to have several different edits of a shot I'm seeing more of the point of cropping artistically.
What are your thoughts??
