Excellent. Thank you.

This was great. Now all I have to do is remember that when photographing and switching from vertical to horizontal. So many things to think about…

Thank you so much for this tutorial – and well actually all of your information! I feel like I have learned so much from you. I have the Canon xti and I’m always having crop issues. I’m wondering, is it easier to remember your in camera crop with a full frame camera? What you see is what you get vs I’m never sure what exactly my photos will look like until I get into photoshop?
